Favorite actor (drama and comedy) -- the CO of my old congregation. He had little old ladies eating out of his hand with his charming, virtuous act, yet he was the meanest son-of-a-bitch in a disciplinary committee.

Favorite actress (drama and comedy) -- a member of the "faithful and discreet slave" who had heavenly aspirations, yet gossiped viciously about everyone in the congregation.

And the Oscar goes to .......

Actor: Matt Damon (for looks, not acting)

Actress: Drew Barrymore (I want to be just like her).

but for real acting, I love the mom in "Sopranos", I think she really made the whole show. (too bad I can't remember her name.)

Flipper, thanks for mentioning Diane Lane. She is a little known actress, that everyone says is my twin (but she's about 20 years older than me.) But it's nice someone knows who she is.
