Toni Collette
Margo Martindale
Lois Smith
Loretta Devine (she should have been Big Mama in the recent "Cat" revival)
Brenda Blethyn (won't someone cast her as Amanda in a Glass Menagerie revival?)
If anyone ever tells you that you put too much Parmesan cheese on your pasta, stop talking to them. You don't need that kind of negativity in your life.

Wonderful list, Goth.
I treasure memories of Margo Martindale in "Steel Magnolias." And seeing Lois Smith in "True Blood" reminded me what a fine actor she is.
I'd like to see S. Epatha Merkerson back on stage.

Posted: 4/12/10 at 5:35pmCome back to the five and dime Kate Nelligan, Kate Nelligan.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Broadway? Peters, Block I agree with- Thompson especially.
Additionally, Allison Fischer, Hunter Foster, Jessie L. Martin, Adam Pascal, Drew Sarich, Nikki Renee Daniels, Adam Wylie and Molly Ephraim. A lot of them have only really had one-hit wonders or have only a few notable credits and would really love to see more of them.
It wouldn't hurt to see Joel Gray, Betty Buckley and Ben Vereen take a stab at Broadway again.
Film-wise though I feel like it's such a crime Fairuza Balk doesn't get nearly enough work. She's done some great films and is a great actress in my opinion.

I completely agree with Molly Ephraim. She was great in Into the Woods then she had a very very small part in Fiddler on the Roof and haven't heard of her since.
I have to say I would love to see Christian Borle doing something. love him!
and Beth Leavel. love her to death!

-Dre- You must remember all the same that at the crux of every game is knowing when it's time to leave the table... And it's important to be artful in your exit. No turning back, you must accept the con is done... It was a ball, it was a blast. And it's a shame it couldn't last. But every chapter has to end, you must agree.

There's a special kind of people known as show people. We live in a world full of dreams. Sometimes we're not too certain what's false and what's real. But we're seldom in doubt about what we feel.
