Not sure if it's really good but here's a first of an actor-I-likes avatar sig combo.
This edition features James Marsden, my fav celeb who isn't dead or ancient (kind of a hollow compliment, but it's the best I can come up with).
Why do I like him? Not sure, but I think it's a combination of good looks, talent and most importantly, modesty. He's not an attention getter or full of himself apparently, but he has many talents (he can do drama, comedy or action, sing, dance and do it all well) and he doesn't get shoved in your face 24/7 by the media like other celebs with a lesser appeal for me. Some neat quotes by him:
"My wife, kids and I still fly coach -- not first-class. I think I have a certain responsibility to let my children know I am not special because of what I do, but who I am as a person."
"If you're an attractive guy, everyone thinks you're successful just because of the way you look. I hate that."
"If you're lucky enough to pick what you do, that's the greatest career you can have. Ultimately, that's my goal: to have choices." - Interview with Men's Health, May 2007. (yup, he's been on that magazine cover too)
"If expectations are low, you can only impress people. But if expectations are there for you to be the leading guy, and you've been paid X amount of money, you're on a tightrope and all of a sudden you're looking down. If it was up to me now, I would just stay on the up-and-coming list until I'm like 90." (last quote is interesting because if you look at his filmography, there isn't alot of films, just a few a year, but if he's cool with that I respect that.)
Who will be next? I dunno. Vincent Price and Kathrine Hepburn are really cool.

. My avatar hasn't changed either, lol! Its album art / poster art for the 'disney onclassic' a stunning concert series, featuring symphonic versions of Disney music, which is performed in Japan by the Tokyo symphony orchestra. Each year it uses a different Disney film in its art, this year is Lion King, mine if from a few years ago when they focused on Aladdin.
