He brings his own personality to every film is in. people know that when they watch a film with Sandler in it, they will hear eighties rock.

I chose George Clooney for my star actor. Clooney had been in television since 1978. He got his big break playing Dr. Doug Ross in the series ER. That is when Clooney became recognized and started in his movie career. Since then he has been in numerous films. People Magazine names him the sexiest man alive in 1997 and again in 2006. His relationships are highly publicized and criticized. Fans even wanted to know what kind of pets Clooney favored. I think they were surprised when they found out it was a
pig. Wild card: A term applied to an actor, usually a star, who is difficult to classify as one certain type, an actor who can play a wide variety of characters equally well without becoming typecast.

In the film Taxi Driver”, a psychological thriller, he played a man who drove a taxi at night to get away from his insomnia and depression. In the film “Goodfellas”, a American crime film, he played a role where he was part of the mafia.

I chose Carroll O’Conner for my character actor. One of his famous character roles was in 1971 in the sitcom “All in the Family” as Archie Bunker. He played an average working man who was known as a bigot. A lot of the humor of the show came from Archie arguing with his very liberal son n law. He was known for calling him a meathead. Later O’Conner jumped into the character as Chief Bill Gillespie in the series “In the Heat of the Night”. This character was racially progressive and politically liberal. He was a tough Mississippi cop who was smart and would use his gun if he needed too.
