OK, for starters, she’s hot. She’s also a talented actor, bringing a light comic touch to most every role she plays. Very charismatic, always fun to watch. Whether he overly frequents naughty internet sites, is overly fond of plush toys, or seeks to replicate the tawdrier scenes from Eyes Wide Shut in his personal life, David Duchovny is a fool.

Ten best roles: 10) People I Know 9) House of D 8) The Family Man 7) Jurassic Park III 6) Spanglish 5) Deep Impact 4) Fun With Dick and Jane 3) Ghost Town 2) You Kill Me 1) Flirting with Disaster

Matthew Lillard

Ryan Seacrest lookalike (but not as pretty,) Lillard’s part of the great lost Brat Pack v. 2.0 that had members in virtually every film in the 90’s, and then disappeared. Joshua Jackson? Freddie Prinze Jr? Sarah Michelle Gellar? Almost all of them will end up back on TV, but their film careers have collectively stalled. Couldn’t have seen that coming.

Ten best roles: 10) Dish Dogs 9) Senseless 8) Hackers 7) Tarentella 6) Wicker Park 5) Finder’s Fee 4) Serial Mom 3) Spanish Judges 2) The Curve 1) SLC Punk
