Helen
Hunt
Her performance in "Pay It Forward" may be garnering a second round
of Oscar talk, but the actress . . . only saw the part as part of a larger
picture. |
 |
Brendon
Fraser "Tall, dark and handsome" is Brendan Fraser's moniker when we think about his movie roles.
|
 |
Richard
Gere "New
daddy Richard Gere seemed more than prepared for his latest role in Robert
Altman's "Dr. T and the Women." |
 |
Farrah
Fawcett "The
former "Charlie's Angels" starlet is back in "Dr. T and the Women" alongside
Richard Gere." |
 |
Savion
Glover "Tony
winner Savion Glover electrified audiences and tap-danced his way into America's
heart with his awesome performance and choreography in the musical "Bring
in 'da Noise, Bring in 'da Funk" in 1996." |
 |
Omar
Epps ('99) "Omar
Epps is ripe for a breakthrough. The Brooklyn native had a close call with
1992's urban drama Juice, and again in 1996 after receiving critical praise
for his guest work as ER's troubled Dr. Dennis Gant. Now, with four films
due in 1999, it looks like the time is finally right for the 25-year-old
Epps to step onto centerstage." |
 |
Leelee
Sobieski
('99) "The most amazing thing about Leelee Sobieski
is not that she looks like a young Helen Hunt. Or that she lists Tom Cruise,
Nicole Kidman, Elijah Wood and Drew Barrymore among her costars. It's
that so much experience, poise and coltish beauty can be rolled into one
16-year-old girl."
|
 |
Thandie
Newton ('99) "The
26-year-old Cambridge-educated actress already lists movies with Jon Bon
Jovi (The Leading Man), Tupac Shakur (Gridlock'd) and Jason Patric (The
Journey of August King) on her rÈsumÈ. This winter, she can be seen opposite
Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible 2. It's a mission the Zimbabwe-born, Britain-raised
Newton will gladly accept." |
 |
James
Van Der Beek ('99) "James
Van Der Beek can hardly believe his luck. A year ago, he was just another
struggling actor, trying to do good work on Broadway and maybe catch a break
in Hollywood. Then that series hit, and all hell broke loose. Today, the
21-year-old Dawson's Creek star is a genuine teen idol. |
 |
Chow Yun-Fat
('99) "After
70-plus films and more than a decade as one of Asia's premier action stars,
Chow Yun-Fat knows he's ready for Hollywood. But is Hollywood ready for
the stylish, sleek and sophisticated Chow? " |
 |
Claire
Danes ('99) "Claire
Danes is the only actress whose stardom stems from a failed television show.
After being cancelled by a major network, "My So-Called Life" became a cult
hit with teenagers after the reruns aired on MTV. " |
 |
Giovanni
Ribisi ('99) "
The 24-year-old Giovanni Ribisi has earned a reputation as a brilliant and
powerful actor, who can deliver quirky, funny, intense performances in both
comic and dramatic material. " |
 |
Spike
Lee ('99) "It's
no surprise that writer-director, Spike Lee has finally produced He Got
Game, a basketball movie about the outrageous pressure-cooker world of college
recruitment. " |
