Actors in need of a comeback
Jeremy Irons. Not to take anything away from Ralph Fiennes, but he's getting all the Jeremy Irons parts, and that's bullshit.

Yours?

1. Tom Berenger
I don't know if I even like him as an actor. But what the hell happened to his career?

8. Ditto, last movie I saw him in was
Into the West(he did a very good job in that role).

I'd also say John Goodman, perhaps he should reprise his Walter Sobchak role in "Vietnam Vets for Shabbas"...

3. Fiennes is 20 years younger, which is why he's getting the parts
But yeah, I prefer Irons.

13. honestly?
i don't think any actors have need of a comeback, no matter how gifted, there are bazillions of gifted actors in the world, i think the actors who have had their day in the sun and earned more in a short period of time than the rest of us will ever have in a lifetime -- those guys should have saved and/or invested their money

i don't wanna see comebacks, i wanna see new faces, i think it's better for the economy etc. if more people have more money spread around

not offense to jeremy irons, i really liked him back in the day, but i'd rather see more people have their day, than the same dudes get their day over and over again

there are 7 billion people in this world, i wouldn't mind if there was a new face in every movie ever made

15. Karen Black and William Sanderson
both were in an episode of Tim & Eric recently, so I guess they're working on it.
