Line 59:
** Also that he continued soldiering on through the Hammer ''Dracula'' films as they got worse and worse solely because of how many crew jobs the studio reminded him would be lost if they stopped making the films says something for this man's character. Not to mention that he tries his hardest to make each one of them worthwhile.
* '''[[Bill Murray]]'''
* '''[[Samuel L. Jackson]]''' is synonymous with awesomeness. [[Old Shame|Except in]] ''[[Coming to America]]'' and ''[[Jungle Fever]]''.
* '''[[Ian McKellen]]'''
* '''[[Jack Nicholson]]''': Even when he's essentially [[Adam Westing|playing himself]], he makes everything better.

** People are rather divided on whether his involvement in a Hollywood ''[[Cowboy Bebop]]'' will help or harm it, though it's somewhat hard to tell the difference between hate for Reeves and standard hate for an American movie adaption of an anime. This became academic when the project stayed in [[Development Hell]] for long enough for [[John Cho]] to get the role instead.
** ''[[Point Break]], [[Bram Stoker's Dracula|Bram Stokers Dracula]], [[The Devil's Advocate]]''...
*** ''[[Parenthood (film)|Parenthood]]'' was a good film.
