by eragonbookfan | created - 14 Oct 2014 | updated - 1 week ago | Public

Despite whatever their roles, these actors often keep such lively & unique faces it either makes you want to hug them, pinch or kiss them on the cheek, cuddle them, or want to shake their hand. All-round their faces make you wanna smile & make you feel great inside. ^_^

1. Roberto Benigni

Actor | La vita è bella

Roberto Benigni was born on October 27, 1952 in Manciano La Misericordia, Castiglion Fiorentino, Tuscany, Italy. He is an actor and writer, known for Life Is Beautiful (1997), The Tiger and the Snow (2005) and Down by Law (1986). He has been married to Nicoletta Braschi since December 26, 1991.

Was just an absolute DELIGHT to watch in the World War 2 classic.

Ironically though, I found "Life Is Beautiful" to be more FUNNY than sad...

2. Jim Henson

Soundtrack | The Muppet Show

Jim Henson never thought that he would make a name of himself in puppetry; it was merely a way of getting himself on television. The vehicle that achieved it was Sam and Friends (1955), a late-night puppet show that was on after the 11:00 news in Washington DC. It proved to be very popular and ...

Man, his creations WERE my childhood! <3 ^_^

3. Dom DeLuise

Actor | The Cannonball Run

As might be said for the late and great comedians Harvey Korman and Madeline Kahn, it seems that Mel Brooks was the only director on the planet who knew how to best utilize this funnyman's talents on film. Brooks once remarked that, whenever he cast Dom in one of his films he'd add an extra two ...

Just his kind demeanour, raspy yet friendly delivery, always enjoyed his voiceover work, whether it be "An American Tail" or "A Troll In Central Park".Dom, thanks for being a part of my childhood..... you will be missed. God bless!

4. Ronald Reagan

Actor | Kings Row

Ronald Reagan had quite a prolific career, having catapulted from a Warner Bros. contract player and television star, into serving as president of the Screen Actors Guild, the governorship of California (1967-1975), and lastly, two terms as President of the United States (1981-1989).

Ronald Wilson ...

The last president who believed in the Constitution! Thanks to people like Congressman Ron Paul & Jerry Falwell that this man got elected.

Seriously, you GOTTA check out "The Encounter" (2010) ... it was powerful.

6. John Candy

Actor | Planes, Trains & Automobiles

Candy was one of Canada's greatest and funniest character actors. His well-known role as the big hearted buffoon earned him classics in Uncle Buck (1989) and Planes, Trains & Automobiles (1987). His career has handed him some dry spells but Candy always rebounded.

Born in Newmarket, Ontario, in ...

RIP. John Candy was a true Gent. Unlike many of the Hollywood "Who's Who" today, He was always modest and never arrogant. Many of today's comedians rely heavily on profanity, sex jokes, and gross-out humor and will never be John's equal. Though don't bother watching "Spaceballs" - so retarded & stupid, not worth it! Try "Cool Runnings" (1993) instead - and it's based on a true story! ;-)

7. Richard Gere

He ...

Not particularly a fan of Family Guy at all, nor any of raunchy humor, but I gotta give him credit for SOME talent he does have, and his great smile too. I've got a friend who looks a lot JUST like him too ^_^

And I completely agree with his disregard for the "Godfather" series... Horrendously overrated movies.

The show debuted in Pittsburgh in 1967 and was picked up by PBS the next year, becoming a staple of public TV stations around the United States. Rogers' mild manner, cardigan sweaters...

Odd that this genius takes BIG breaks in-between movies, but each time they're GREAT accomplishments: The Iron Giant, The Incredibles, Ratatouille, Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, etc. Has been referred to as a "Modern Walt Disney"...... ;-)

14. C.S. Lewis

Writer | The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe

C.S. Lewis was born in 1898 and brought up in a very strict, religious household. While he was quite young, his mother died of cancer but the "stiff upper lip" in favour at the time meant he wasn't allowed to grieve. He became an Oxford don and led a sheltered life. He seriously questioned his ...

Here Comes the Boom was a pleasant surprise and I dare say one of his finest works. The "Grown Up" movies are a guilty pleasure.

19. Ray Comfort

Producer | Evolution vs. God: Shaking the Foundations of Faith

Ray Comfort is the Founder/President/CEO of Living Waters Publications. After relocating from New Zealand to Southern California in the late 1980s, Ray introduced a long line of pastors and churches to a biblical teaching which he called Hell's Best Kept Secret. The positive and enthusiastic ...

I find it pretty sad to hear that when he was 16, he wrote a beautiful paper to a relative of how much he loved the Lord and wanted to serve Him with his life; later, he went off to college, studied Darwinism, and likely sort of lost his faith, and now acts in movies with little or no morals.

Though I can't help but keep on liking the guy for his immense talent, diversity in acting, and all-round kinda personality & face.

Commonly called "Dr. Dino", is an informative, prominent, fast-paced, humorous, AND controversial Young-Earth creation scientist.
