Notice Several Of The Top Actors
Everyone has their own opinion on great actors and great movies. Nobody is more right or more wrong since it is just an opinion but it is fun to have favorites and enjoy. Some actors have immense talent, and some actors are easy on the eyes and then there are the actors that are both. We like some actors more for what they do off the screen than onscreen, as some of them are great individuals who use their fame and fortune to help others and the world.
It's pretty amazing to think that Tom Hanks started out on a small and kooky TV show called "Bosom Buddies". Who would have thought that he would boast the talent to pull off such great roles as Andrew Beckett, a gay lawyer who is infected with AIDS, who is fired from his conservative law firm because of the fear that they may also contract the disease. He won his first Academy Award for that role in 1993 and it was well deserved.
Then in 1994, he became only the second actor in history to win back-to-back Oscars as he again took home the award, this time for "Forrest Gump". Certainly, there are also many other great movies from the funny and sweet like "Big" to the more serious like "Castaway" where his co-star was truly a volleyball.
Brad Pitt has been known for his pretty boy good looks since he first came on the scene in the 1991 film "Thelma and Louise". On the contrary he hasn't always played the role of the good-looking boy. If you remember "Seven" and "Twelve Monkeys" both from 1985 you know what I mean. While the tabloid press seems to take his personal life and overshadow his movie roles, what is the most commendable thing about Brad Pitt is his pledge to humanitarian causes throughout the world. He always donates sizeable sums of his wealth to help people that are less fortunate.
When Hurricane Katrina practically wiped out the whole city of New Orleans, Brad Pitt started the "Make it Right Foundation". The foundation was created to help in the redevelopment of the Lower 9th Ward in New Orleans. They build affordable and sustainable homes that are accurate to the diverse culture of the city of New Orleans. The purpose was to complete the building of the homes quickly so that the residents could return to their homes as soon as possible. These things have been Brad Pitt's true success.
Which reminds me of another great actor who we lost just this past year. Paul Newman passed away on September 26, 2008. All through his life he entertained us with lots of great movies including the "Road to Perdition" in 2002, "The Color Of Money" from 1986 and "Absence of Malice" from 1981. He also had the leading role in the well-known favorite "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid" from clear back in 1969. Certainly, he was also in many other wonderful movies, too.
Nevertheless it is his philanthropy that we can all appreciate. In 1982 with a partner he created a line of food products that he dubbed "Newman's Own". It started with just a salad dressing and quickly expanded to other products including pasta sauce, lemonade, popcorn, salsa and more. When he started the company he established that all of the profits generated after taxes would be donated to charity. In early 2006, Newman's Own had donated over $250 million.
Our favorite movies and favorite actors and actresses may vary from time to time. We may love them for their flair or for other reasons but now that we can download full length, high quality movies from the Internet instantaneously we don't have to miss any more of the movies that we want to see. - 18758
