The Fametracker is an enjoyable
The Fametracker is an enjoyable site that ranks celebrities based on actual fame versus deserved fame (James Franco, for instance, is as well-known as Joaquin Phoenix but should acually be on the same level as Joshua Jackson, all things being equal and assuming the existence of a benign Creator), and they've just released a book compiling famous character actors. There's a companion database of same on their site, and it's a great and interesting resource of all the recognizable faces whose names often slip your mind. Sure, everybody knows J.T. Walsh (or you'd better, anyway), but what about Arye Gross? What about John Kapelos? And who doesn't love Stephen Tobolowsky? And you gotta give it up for Daniel von Bargen.Seriously, check it out: Hey! It's That Guy!
