- Top Actors by Last Name (MovieActors.com)
Provides short biographies of MovieActors.com "Super Stars." "By our definition, a 'Super Star' is a movie actor or actress who can 'open' a movie, someone whose fans rush to see their latest film on opening weekend. They have a proven track record of box office hits. They are frequently household names. It also helps if they have gotten critical acclaim and/or Oscar nominations. A 'Super Star' can be identified by his/her first name like 'Mel' or 'Julia' or 'Harrison.' A 'Super Star,' whether it's Humphrey Bogart or Tom Cruise, usually plays him/herself in role after role, as opposed to losing themselves in a different screen character, movie after movie."
