Stamp was mainly a '60's star (before the age of the Superstar). I loved him in Far From The Madding Crowd.
He did the obligatory "retreat to India", only it lasted way too long (10 years).

Since then I loved him as Zod in Superman II and as Bernadette in Priscilla, Queen fo the Dessert.

As far as my own pick. Well, I always felt Christine Lahti should have gone on to bigger and better. Loved her in Leaving Normal.
...Or has she done well and I just haven't been paying attention?

Since I saw him long before then, and I dont do credits, let me say.....

G** D***! That was him!

Now I have a trivia question for my son!  Thanks!

nope ms lahti never has made it to the big leagues., good choice.

UMMM>>> ANDY GARCIA would be my choice, he still plays in movies but doesn't get the credit I believe he should. Course you know i have the hots for him lol.

Female: Debra Winger. Tremendous character actor, who had a couple of popular moments (and three Oscar nominations to boot) but became unfashionable very quickly, even as the roles she played became ever more interesting. Recommended viewing: 'The Sheltering Sky' (1990), 'A Dangerous Woman' (1993).

Male: David Thewliss. Got on the Hollywood treadmill for a little while, but soon got off again - probably due more to boredom than disillusion. Either way, it was Hollywood's loss. Often jaw-droppingly impressive, whether in dark drama or 'just' playing for laughs. Recommended viewing: 'Naked' (1993), 'Divorcing Jack' (1998).

Gotta say when richard gere went and scooped her up and carried her away I got kinda um misty.

'him I never heard of.'

I heard David Thewliss interviewed once about his Hollywood experiences. During the interview, he said - very much tongue in cheek, I believe - that the Hollywood part he was most proud of was playing the voice of the earthworm in 'James and the Giant Peach'!

Other parts in films / TV that you might know him from would include 'Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban' (Professor Lupin), 'Dinotopia' (Cyrus Crabb), 'The Big Lebowski (Knox Harrington), and 'The Island of Doctor Moreau' (Edward Douglas). In my opinion, even where the film itself is rubbish (e.g. the last in this list), Thewliss is always worth watching.

Prisoner of Azkaban' (Professor Lupin),

got him now, the cowardly professor I think.

thank you for kindly explaining.

Yeardley Smith. Known pretty much only as the voice of Lisa Simpson, she's a remarkable talent who never found the right vehicle to make her a star. She always has unique line readings that leave me floored. In fact, when I auditioned for my last radio gig there was a line I couldn't get a handle on. I thought, "How would Yeardley read this?" did it that way and nailed the audition.

Mark Blankfield. The cast member from Fridays who should have made it big instead of one note no-talent Michael Richards. His first couple of films went down the toilet and that doomed his career.

Bess Armstrong. She appeared in "Jeckyll and Hyde... Together Again" with Mark Blankfield, but unlike him more than had her shot at stardom. The studios put a lot of effort into her, including her own short lived TV series, but she never caught on with audiences.

There's another actor who's name is eluding me at the moment, who mainly works in theater, but is one of the best actors I've ever seen. He's always inventive, original, and completely believable.

I saw a film noir called ginger something {i forget} she was quite remarkable in that.

I thought the whole cast from fridays was good, better than most the SNl casts we get these days.
