    anybody got a favorite actor for some reason?

    one of my favs is josh harnett. he was suppposed to be the next big thing years ago and for some reason he missed the boat. he's still going strong. from his looks , it looks like he has/had an alcohol problem but i've loved his work over the years. he's a working actor and keeps busy.

    I'm currently watching him on fight or flight. which is a stupid action movie but entertaining.

    "they" say he decided to have a life work balance and take smaller roles and didn't want to be a heart throb.

    Yeah, he's good. My kid and I just watched him in Trap. Fun movie. A little dumb, but fun.

    Hard to pick a favorite, but I think I'd have to go with Jon Hamm. He's the best part of everything he's in.

    Anything with Jimmy Stewart, but I like anything with John Candy or Burgess Meredith, but I love Stewart the most.

    If you are a fan of Meredith, and also a fan of sci-fi, might I suggest you check out his appearances on The Twilight Zone TV series? "Time Enough at Last" and "The Obsolete Man" are two absolute classics. He was also in an episode of The Night Gallery, I think it was called "The Little Black Bag," that was also good.

    I remember some of those episodes, but my FAVORITE Meredith episode is "The Printer's Devil" where he plays Satan. Excellent performance by Burgess there. One of my favorite episodes of all time other than the episode with the depressed Professor I forget the name of (Oh and a recent episode I saw of a poor guy who randomly became Santa).

    The other two you mentioned may be the two best episodes ever, and probably two of the best Christmastime episodes of any shows. The Changing of the Guard is the one with the professor. Ironically, although it is set at Christmastime, it originally aired in June! The other one is the Night of the Meek and features Art Carney as the bum/department store Santa.
    series, but I don't remember who played the bum in that one. That full episode is on youtube as The Twilight Zone (1985) Night of the Meek. The original is better, of course, but that version isn't bad.

    Oh yeah, YT is where I saw it--it was the original. The Changing of the Guard, that's it! Great episode. I love that quote 'Be Ashamed to Die Until You've Won Some Victory for Humanity.'
