Well yes I think to an extent that they will always be compared to BBM...but I still think that they'll go far!  Its not everyday that you see actors like Jake and Heath...so we'll see....

I see Jake becoming the next Tom Hanks while Heath becomes the next Anthony Hopkins....

Jenny, one thing to keep in mind is that we hold them in a bit higher esteem than does everyone in the industry.  Our support of those performances and this movie is in concurrence with other organizations, true, but though we've immortalized them, in Hollywood you are only as good as your last film or two.  This business is fickle and unfortunately box office determines career paths far too often.  Actors' careers are made by what they turn down as much as by what they accept.  Keep your fingers crossed.

ProwlAmongUs:
Lee Marvin

And dare I say it? Jack Nicholson. I just cannot warm up to the guy.

delalluvia:
Jack Nicholson.  The guy is good, but he never reaches me.
Tom Cruise.  Ditto.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman.  Ditto again.
Jessica Simpson.  Does she even qualify as an actor?  Why are people giving her and her sister movie roles?
Sarah Jessica Parker.
Julia Roberts.
Any of the 90210 crowd.
Alyssa Milano.
Tony Danza.
Kevin Costner.
John Travolta.  Is really coming across as slimy nowadays.  Don't know why.
Any of the 'Desperate Housewives' crowd.
Lindsey Lohan.

ednbarby:
Oh, yeah.  Kevin Costner is beyond bad.  He showed some promise in that cycling movie - what was it called?  American Flyers?  And then, quoth the raven, nevermore.
