Dennis Farina
Having been handpicked by such of-the-moment directors as Steven Soderbergh for Out of Sight, Guy Ritchie for Snatch and now Edward Burns for Sidewalks of New York, Dennis Farina is undergoing a career resurgence at age 57.
Josh Hartnett: Straight From The Hartnett
Little known a year ago, Josh Hartnett is front and center with Ben Affleck and Kate Beckinsale in this summer's biggest film, Pearl Harbor, and he has another major one coming up soon, Ridley Scott's Black Hawk Down.

Clive Owen: Clive Talkin'
Clive Owen's coiled intensity in the cult hit Croupier won him an American following that now threatens to make him the star he'd rather not be.
Brad Renfro: Brad Influence
He became headline news for scrapes with the law, but young Brad Renfro, who appears in this month's indie Bully, insists he's done with his wayward ways.
Josh Hartnett: Straight From The Hartnett
