Default "Has been" actors you want back.

I'm watching Conan last night (of course) and its a re-run with Slyvester Stallone. There's nothing else on, so I decide to watch the Sly interview. And man, I had forgotten how much I actually enjoyed Slyvester Stallone! His performances in all the Rocky movies are great, and whenever I catch First Blood on TV his monologue at the end always kills me.

I want him back. In good movies.

Another actor I've wanted to have make a comeback is Kurt Russell. The list of movies I've loved him in is about as long as my arm, mostly the stuff he did with Carpenter. He's such a charming performer, and there is I believe a dearth of actual manly men in cinema today.

So, if either Kurt or Sly is reading this right now, I am volunteering to read your scripts for you. I'll weed out all the Rhinestones and Captain Rons and leave you only with the Cop Lands and Tombstones.

Agreed. Sly Stallone and Kurt Russel are almost gods.

How about the original (and so far, best) Batman, Michael Keaton?

Keaton would be great to have back. He especially needs to play some more crazy people.

I miss Tim Curry being either evil or funny or both.

I really like the guy who played the president in Independence Day, although I can not recall his shoot name. I thought that he played an excellent president... and although I never actually catch the show, on the subject of presidents, Martin Sheen plays an excellent president in the 'West Wing'.

His name is Bill Paxton.

EDIT: His name is Bill Pullman.

The Internet Movie Database has lots of good information about movies.

Yeah, Bill Pullman is another underrated actor. Check out Zero Effect if you want to see him at his best.

Yes, it was a tour de force performance, that's for sure.

Well, he probably sucks now, but Dirty Work was the movie I kept watching throughout middle school. Plus he's completely unlikable, something I can relate to.

Greg Evigan, dammit. Where is Greg Evigan?!

And Amy Jo Johnson, too, of course.

I heard David Hasselhoff has a big role in a future Adam Sandler movie.

I saw Michael Keaton in White Noise and it was forgettable and disappointing.

Finally, I'll see your Amy Jo Johnson and raise you a Lark Voorhees.
