Born on October 8,1970 in Cambridge Massachusetts, Matthew Paige Damon, the son of a realtor and an early-childhood education professor started acting at an early age. Matt’s childhood buddy Ben Affleck started as extras in films that were shot locally. The success of Good Will Hunting has launched his career to Stardom winning him an Oscar Award at a young age of 28. The script of Goodwill Hunting was written by Matt Damon and Ben Affleck which they sold to Castle Rock with an absurd amount of $600,000 for first timers. His name since then started circulating around in Hollywood circles. With dozens of feature films under his belt including the big success of the three-sequel film Bourne Identity, Matt Damon is now one of the highest paid actors in Hollywood.
And so the cast for the upcoming movie Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun Li begins to round out! Stars Michael Clarke Duncan and Chris Klein, and Rick Yune will be joining Smallville’s Kristin Kreuk as Chun Li. Duncan, who you may remember as Kingpin from Daredevil (ugh) will be playing the part of Balrog, who doesn’t know how to kick.
This 70 year old actor is one of the most respected and popular personalities in hollywood. Morgan Freeman is one of my personal all time hollywood favorites. I just love Morgan’s consistent authoritative composure in any film role he is assigned to portray. His deep voice is definitely one asset he posseses that makes him very convincing every time he delivers a line.
Recalling all the best effective actors in the history of hollywood who have stood time and soared real high in their professional careers, it would be a sin not to put Morgan Freeman in that valuable list. Whether it be a comedy role, or a high profile role for a movie that requires a deep thinking audience, then do watch Morgan’s films and find out why I admire this very good actor.
This soft-spoken, blue-eyed Irish boy has a penchant for portraying volatile characters. Cillian Murphy was born in Cork, Ireland in 1974 to a school inspector and a French school teacher. He attended Presentation Brothers College Cork and was preparing for a career in law, but discovered that he had a natural flair for the stage when he starred as Pig in Concordia’s production of Disco Pig. His theater debut earned him rave reviews and soon he was cutting class to go on tours. Cillian Murphy starred in several movies in the UK before American audiences came to know him as the bicycle courier in Danny Royle’s zombie apocalypse thriller, “28 Days Later”.
No one but Clooney, one of the last true matinee idols, could convince studio executives to green-light this film. Not only does the screwball comedy take place in the 1920s, it’s told with a style and tone that hasn’t been popular since films like “His Girl Friday” and “Some like It Hot” were in style.
Not much was known of him before is role as Cedric Diggory – who suffered a tragic death in the movie, cutting short his screen time – in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. But now that he’s played the teenage vampire Edward, protagonist of the widely and insanely popular Twilight, the movie adaptation of the equally popular eponymous novel, Robert Pattinson is fast becoming one of Hollywoods hottest male leads.
He’s set to reprise his role as the pale bloodsucker in the future installments of the vampire series, which is derived from the novels written by Stephenie Meyer.
Unknown to many, Pattinson is also a musician and singer, and is responsible for two vocals in the Twilight soundtrack, one of which he co-wrote. He can play both guitar and piano, which will probably make him more of an Adonis in the eyes of his legions of Twilight fans.
Born on the 20th of June 1971 in Little Rock Arkansas, named Joshua Lucas Easy Dent Maurer, the “Easy Dent” was due to an incident during his birth where he slipped so fast out of his mom the doctor bumped his head on the bedpost denting it. His parents were both hippies and were anti-nuclear activists which had him traveling all over the US that by age 13, he has lived in over 13 different places. He didn’t go to college to pursue his acting career which started early at the young age of 9 when he starred in many a school plays. At age 19, he was a frequent guest star on many TV sitcoms. He was challenged by George C. Scott to take acting lessons to further develop his raw talent for film and the stage which he also frequented. He then moves to New York to improve his acting under several independent coaches and trainers.
His name was thrown into the limelight when he was cast as the leading man in the love story Sweet Home Alabama where he played opposite Reese Witherspoon who was separated and in the process of getting divorced, minus some paperwork they have to fill up. In the process of their discussions on their marital life, big city girl rediscovers her life in their small nook of the world and eventually rediscover their love again. Fortunately, their clumsy lawyer just happens to have fallen victim to many a folly as he tries to get them to sign the divorce papers eventually canceling it and leaving the two love birds to their love of each other. This film launched him into mainstream Hollywood that eventually landed more prominent roles such as big screen adaptation of the comic, The Hulk and many more. His Southern charm and innocent looks makes him part of Hollywood as one ofv the hottest hunks around, where he will remain for many years to come.
