6. Okay, you got me. I don't know any of them. Then again, I don't know many current stars either.

I know most of the ones you listed have longer histories than current stars, but still, I'm out of touch with a lot of that.

[AsahinaKimi]

9. all of them are stars of Japanese tv and movies..

Shintaro Katsu was well known to play Zatoichi.

Sorimachi Takashi, Hirosue Ryoko, Takenouchi Yutaka all were actors in the drama series BEACHBOYS

Shibasaki Kou was best known for the film The sinking of Japan. She has appeared in many dramas, and movies.

Inoue Mao, Oguri Shun, Matsumoto Jun were in the famous Japanese drama; Hana Yori Dango.

Takuya Kimura is an accomplished actor having been in many movies and dramas.

Yuji Oda, Honami Suzuki were together in the drama Tokyo Love Story. Yuji has been in a ton of films and dramas.

Tomoko Yamaguchi has been in a number of dramas though out the years.

Kanno Miho and Tamaki Koji appeared in the drama: Ai no Uta

Koyuki has been in many fine dramas and films including Clint Eastwoods Letters from Iwo Jima

Tadanobu Asano is a fine actor appearing in many drama and films includinig the last Zatoichi movie.

[HopeHoops]

13. Well, that explains why I don't recognize any of them. Then again, I don't recognize American TV...

... personalities - I shut the damn thing off in '82.

[Locut0s]

17. I've been meaning to see Zatoichi the 2003 film. I've heard of some of the others but...

sadly not seen any of them. Actually I think I may have seen Letters from Iwo Jima, I didn't really love it (but that may be because I tend not to like anything by Eastwood.

My favourite Japanese films would be Ran and Ikiru but I suppose those are a bit cliched loves.

[AsahinaKimi]

20. I have just the place for you to catch Zatoichi films...

Enjoy!

5. Well, as a couple, Steve Martin and Goldie Hawn.

"House Sitter", the remake of "The Out of Towners". They just click. Martin was great in "Roxanne" too, but that wasn't Goldie Hawn, although I believe she produced it.

7. Cate Blanchett and Morgan Freeman among more modern actors

I'm a fan of old French movies from the golden age (I own about 600 old classic French black and whites). Harry Baur (tortured and murdered by the Gestapo) was the single greatest influence on Rod Steiger.



Orson Welles called French actor Raimu the greatest actor who ever lived and broke down in tears when he learned of his death.



My favorite French actor, who is tied with Humphrey Bogart in my own internal poll overall, is the great Louis Jouvet, who was also a remarkable stage actor.



Edwige Feuillere, Michele Morgan, Viviane Romance, and Micheline Francey are my favorite female actresses based on their sheer acting brilliance.

Joseph Gordon-Levitt ("Brick," "Looper&quot
Patrick Wilson ("Hard Candy," "Watchmen&quot

Justin Timberlake ("In Time," "The Social Network&quot

Saoirse Ronan ("The Lovely Bones," "Hanna&quot
Ellen Page ("Hard Candy," "Super&quot

*---
The lines they wrote for Philip Seymore Hoffman in "Charlie Wilson's War" were amazing.
I loved his fights with his boss at the CIA.
He threw the furniture through the window.

[Locut0s]

19. Now I want to see "Charlie Wilson's War" (VIDEO)...

Now I want to see this film!

[Kolesar]

21. Oh yeah, that's the scene!

I borrowed the movie from the library. Tom Hanks acted well in that movie. I think he produced it, too.

[Yavin4]

15. Sean Penn

Morgan Freedman

[Locut0s]

18. Sean Penn can indeed be fantastic...

though he get's a bit melodramatic at times I think. He's a great director too. Never have cared too too much for Morgan Freeman.
