Vince Vaughn definitely. He's been in some funny films but he's not the one who's made them funny.

The teenagers love him (Will that is, not Vince) and keep forcing me to watch films with him in. Tis just cruel.

There's only two films that I've even remotely enjoyed him in - The Producers (and that was despite him being in it, rather than because of him) and Stranger Than Fiction (possibly because he wasn't 'trying' to be funny)

Hamilton/Burlington area. And no, you don't have to like Jim Carrey (being a Canuck). To quote MM, "He's the wank stain on the sheets of humanity"

Should see what the old time diggers say...

Most people on here are not Australian BTW... in fact even I only consider myself 50/50... well probably 60/40 these days. 1 on 1 I generally always get on with Americans. I did have issues in the Czech republic with some last time I was there though.

Re the thread....Only person that springs to mind thus far is Jerry Springer.

I know. I love Jerry Springer. He's led a very interesting life...Politician, news reporter, talk show host (before his show became what it is now). His story on "Who Do You Think You Are" brought me to tears when he was standing on the platform where his ancestors got on the train to the death camps and when he met his cousin who he never knew he had.
