Boiling Point: Twilight
For my pick I'm going to go with Gary Sinese and Aidan Quinn, who I used to think was one person, but come to find out that's not true. Both of these guys set me at ease for some reason.
But Jon Lovitz and Pauley Shore?!
Did you forget what happened when Jon Lovitz tried to step in for Phil Hartman on News Radio? Proof enough he's exactly where he needs to be. Eric Roberts deserves to be on the list more than Jon Lovitz, and he's THE MOST talented Roberts clan member there is.
And Pauley Shore? That simply defies belief. Get you some more Cocoa Puffs?
As for Pauly... well, his time has come and gone. He did a small cameo role on Futurama... but that's all I can recall him doing in recent years.
and did you ever see his My Name is Earl ep. priceless.
he isn't in a fat suit or cross dressing i don't know what thehell he somkin but he need
to quit that shit and a funny movie
Jurassic Park was awesome and he was great in it.
On that note Jeff Goldblum talks hilariously.

I also want the following actors to actually have a big screen breakthrough soon:
Jensen Ackles, Katie Cassidy, Jim Beaver...
Van Damme: Universal Soldier, Kickboxer, Blood Sport, Time Cop
Shore: Jury Duty, In the Army Now, Encino Man, Son in Law
If you don't like those movies you're obviously not very cool.
doesn't make either of you right or wrong
he was the actor star of the 90s... and he still rules
I think the important thing to realize here is that what makes a comeback work, like Tyson, Rourke, or even the massive return of Alec Baldwin to popularity, is a Re-Invention of themselves. Not just a return to the same old thing they've done again and again before. Even Sly in Rocky and Rambo knew to add age and texture to the scripts. Leslie Neilsen doing spoofs, Sam Neil in J-IV (or would it be 5?), Pauly and Lovitz in lame comedies, or Van Damme, Snipes and Norris in martial arts action flicks would all be terrible ideas. Just like an old woman in a bikini. No one really wants to see that. They have to offer the same things we loved in the past but with consideration to realistic expectations of what modern audieces care to see from these folks who probably faded out for legitimate reasons.
