Hi Keith
I am not far behind Ive seen Glory but couldnt tell you were he is.
Pelican Brief is with Julia Roberts. Crimson Tide Gene Hackman plays a mad as a hatter Captain and Denzil is the sane one.
The Siege I saw recently and I started Malcolm X and got bored.
I think he is Martha Washington cousin fifteen times removed

Hi Jim
From that list from 1993-2000 the only really active ones are Tom Hanks,Mel Gibson and Harrison Ford.
Clint Eastwood has effectively moved to directing.
Sean Connery has claimed he is retired.
Tom Cruise although I am not fussed on him has to redeem himself big time if at all possible.
Julia Roberts !!!***!*! How and What did she do.
Give me Michelle Pffieffer any time!!
So in conclusion there is room at the top!
Mike
Here's his film history to date
Th eoonly other biggie was Crimson Tide with Gene Hackman on the nuclear sub. As I say a good actor but not what I would consider a guy with a great fan following.

I think Denzil is a good actor who has demonstrated over a long run in period that he can carry a number of roles and recently has been given bigger starring roles. I am just surprised he has that much of a following to push him up the list so much.
Mike
Hi Keith
I wouldnt think it would be about sales of DVD's etc.
More likely a loaded question like who do you respect as actor etc polled outside a cinema showing a Denzil Washigton movie LOL
Or am I being cynical?
Mike
Hi Chester
Interesting results
I can see why Harrison Ford wants to make Indy 4!!
I'm a bit surprised at Denzil Washington at 1 . Whilst he is a good actor I wouldnt have thought he had that much of a following.
Tom Hanks is fairly reliable as is Mel Gibson. In regards to Clint I think it is more memory than acting as I reckon apart from odd cameo he will do only directing now.
Johnny Depp is boosted by Pirates plus anything Tim Burton does.
Expect Leonardo Di Caprio to feature next year as he seems to want to act again whether he stays there is another matter.
Anyway good to see "Our Man" there considering that his popularity is ALL due to fans and no active publicity from Wayne Enterprises or Batjac it is a hell of an achievement.
