Chris Lilley in "Summer Heights High"
Robin Williams in "Mrs Doubtfire"
Eddie Murphy in "Norbit"
Barry Humphries as Dame Edna Everage
Dustin Hoffman in "Tootsie"
Martin Lawrence in "Big Momma's House"
Terence Stamp in "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"
Cate Blanchett in "I'm Not There"
Barbra Streisand in "Yentil"
Hilary Swank in "Boys Don't Cry"
Kerry:
I chose:
1. Barry Humphries as Dame Edna Everage - Dame Edna is an Australian icon. She has been a part of my life for most of my life. I first saw her on stage when I was a teenager, with my parents. I love her.
2. Matt Lucas in "Little Britain" - I think Matt Lucas is a phenomenally talented comic actor, in and out of drag. I love "Little Britain."
3. Terence Stamp in "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert" - I thought the part Terence Stamp played in PQOTD was filled with tenderness and compassion. It was a lovely part and he played it beautifully.
David In Indy:
I LOVE Barry Humphries. S/he's a riot!! :laugh: :laugh: Definitely my favorite!
Dustin Hoffman is a close second. I loved Tootsie. I was managing a theater (actually three of them) when Tootsie was released, and we played the film on two screens for over a month. It kept selling out, over and over again. I'll never forget that. I'd have to stand up on top of the ticket counter with a microphone and speaker and announce to all the people queued up that "the movie has been sold out, for all showings, on both screens for the entire day". It kept selling out. We'd have lines queueing up from the front of the movie theater, all the way down the main entrance of the mall to Lazarus Department Store, and THEN wrapping back the other way all the way back to the cinema! For over a month! It was crazy! :laugh: :laugh:

"Tootsie" was very popular here in Oz, too, David! I loved it! :D
(P.S., David, you get to vote for your favourite 3. I think you may have only voted for 1?)
