I guess the only actor I really follow is Jim Carrey. Not that I watch everything he's in. He's an awesome actor, but he doesn't always act awesomely. Like that penguin movie. Obviously he's just doing it to have fun being silly with penguins and the movie itself is going to be pretty lame.

Other actors and directors I don't really go "hey that person is pretty awesome and I am interested in this movie" but it'll be like "hey he was in that thing I saw" and the movie will linger in my mind.
