*SAG gives ensemble awards to entire casts. I didn’t look up all those people.
I’m guessing #6 is Johnny Depp (Pirates O’Caribbean, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, Sweeney Todd).
Very fine guess.
Is #1 Heath Ledger?
Oh, and #7 is Renee Zellweger (Chicago, Miss Potter, The Whole Wide World, Nurse Betty, and I don’t know the last one).
Foster mother=White Oleander. Great work.
Is #5 Albert Finney?
I’m guessing #5 is Robert Downey Jr.–lawyer for Ally McBeal but not sure of the rest ___, Two Girls and a Guy or The Pick-up Artist, The Singing Detective, A Scanner Darkly.
The roles for Albert Finney are in Erin Brockovich, Miller’s Crossing, Tom Jones, Murder on the Orient Express, and Annie.
Well now I know why I couldn’t find Downey’s gangster role. It’s is odd he’s got the other ones down though.
I think #2 is Raul Julia.
George, you’re right, it is odd. And Hazel, you’re right as well.
Is #2 Jerry Orbach for Law and Order?
Is #3 Cuba Gooding Jr. for Jerry Maguire?
Is #4 Alfre Woodard for The Piano Lesson?
Sorry, once I got going on IMDB….
