March 6th, 2008 2:34pm EST Post a comment

Television. It's a compelling medium in itself - but also frequently acts as a launching pad for actors chasing big screen dreams. To think that full-fledged movie stars like Tom Hanks, Jennifer Aniston, George Clooney, and Katherine Heigl all got their big breaks on television shows. So, who should the next TV-turned-movie star be? Here's our Top 10 List to get you thinking.

I like Tom Hanks but he has been so over exposed , much like Tom Cruise that you can't watch a movie and not see Tom Hanks. He's lost the ability of anonimity and being able to morph into a character.
Hanks is not like Bruce Willis who can do cameo appearences or lead roles and make them believable. This is why some celebrities try to protect their privacy.
Hanks is more like John Wayne. No matter what the character's name was was ....The audience always knew they were watching John Wayne. John Wayne saved Bataan, John Wayne died at the Alamo, John Wayne was a Flying Letherneck, John Wayne was an irish fighter.
Some celebrity personas outweigh the movie
persona.
Tom should forget acting and continue to produce vehicles for other actors.

SAme can be said for Jennifer Aniston. No matter what the movie title, you still just see Rachel.

Whatever happened to Olga Sosnowska who was on 'All my Children' soap opers. She was a phenomenal actor and should get roles in movies that would have cast Kathryn Hepburn. She has a classic and interesting face.

I'm a huge marcia cross fan and feel that she has been overlooked as an actress too many times. Where's that Golden Globe? I would love to see her on the big screen, she'd give a lot of movie stars a run for their money.
That's all

I second the motion for Hank Hill and Colbert on the big screen. We could use some seriously funny comedies, instead of stupid movies like "Balls of Fury" or something...-_-

I can honestly say that I want to see NONE of those actors/actresses in movies.
And just FYI Taralynn-- Umm, Jon Cryer and Charlie Sheen and just about every other adult on that show (worst show in history, well, maybe King of the Hill is actually worse) has already been a big-screen actor and are now dwindling down to the twilight of their careers now and will go out on the small screen.

I would like to see T-Pain on the big screen he uses the robot to sing so he might sound good using the robot to act too.

I agree that Michael Urie (pick #6) is one great actor! Also, Robert Knepper (#1) is truly underused this past season on Prison Break. That guy is talented! He plays a bad guy that is really scary and believable! Whew! Great picks!
