Which actor starred in "Red Dirt", was featured in "Humanoids From the Deep", and won an Oscar for producing a short film called "The Accountant"?

Walton Goggins. In addition to the movies on the list, Walton Goggins is known for playing Sam, Robert Duvall's mechanic friend, in "The Apostle", and Almanzo Wilder in the "Beyond the Prairie" movies. However, he is probably best known for his role as Shane Vendrell in "The Shield".

Which actor's highly unusual list of films includes "Sorority Babes in the Slimeball Bowl-a-Rama", "Far From Home", and "The Attic Expeditions"?

Andras Jones. Andras's first role was Deke Simmons, the bully who couldn't read, in "Good Morning Miss Bliss" (the first incarnation of "Saved By the Bell"). He was also Drew Barrymore's first onscreen kiss, in "Far From Home". When not acting, this Olympia, WA native records music, both solo and with his band The Previous.

She showed her racy side in "Wild Orchid 2", her sad side in "The Saint of Fort Washington", and her youthful side in "Bed & Breakfast". Who is she?

Nina Siemaszko. One of Nina's more mainstream roles was that of Annette Bening's sister in "The American President". In real life, she's the sister of actor Casey Siemaszko.

He dressed all in white for his role in "Illtown"; conversely, he played the fiance of a future bride in "Polish Wedding". In one of his earlier roles, he played the brother of Peter Gallagher in Steven Soderbergh's "The Underneath". Can you name this diverse actor?

Adam Trese. Speaking of brothers, you might also recognize Adam (a SUNY Purchase graduate) as Josh Hartnett's brother in "40 Days and 40 Nights" or Kim Delaney's brother from some earlier episodes of "NYPD Blue"...

What television actor's small list of movie credits includes such scary titles as "Crawlers", "Lucid Days in Hell", and "Satan's School For Girls"?

Daniel Cosgrove. Remember lawyer Matt, Brandon's replacement, on "90210"? That was Daniel Cosgrove (who used to work for the court himself, as a bailiff). A veteran of "All My Children", you may also have caught Daniel in some episodes of "Guiding Light".

His diverse filmography features early roles in "Ed" and "Children of the Dust", and a leading role in the little-seen "Madison". Who is he?

Jim Caviezel. Jim (a native of Mount Vernon, Washington) portrayed Jesus Christ in Mel Gibson's controversial film "The Passion". You may also have seen him as Dennis Quaid's son in "Frequency".

What indie film queen has lit up the screen in "Box of Moonlight", "Walking and Talking", and "Living in Oblivion"?

Catherine Keener & Keener. If you like independent movies, that question probably wasn't too hard! Catherine played a significant role in each of the mentioned films. Her husband is actor Dermot Mulroney.

This Canadian actor wreaked onscreen havoc in "The Good Things", "School's Out", and "The Counterfeit Contessa". Who is this former TV student?

Pat Mastroianni. Pat, definitely best known for his role as Joey Jeremiah in the "Degrassi" franchise, also hosts the show "Music Works" and had a role in "Godzilla" (he played an Apache fighter pilot, how's that for bit parts?).

Another indie film goddess, you might recognize her face from "Search & Destroy", "Wedding Bell Blues", or "Grace of My Heart". But do you know her name?

Illeana Douglas. Illeana's signature role might still be the Carole King-like character she portrayed in "Grace of My Heart".

A staple character actress of both mainstream and independent films, perhaps you caught this actress in "The Boys Next Door", "Pumpkin", or "Amy's O". Who is she?

Caroline Aaron. While she bears a resemblence to Allison Janney, and sometimes portrays similar characters, Caroline is a unique actress in her own right (and the projects I listed here are but a few of her many credits!).
