They light up the small screen, but have seen relatively little exposure in the movies. Here’s James’ of TV stars we’d love to see on the big screen…
Straddling the fine line between success and failure in Hollywood is like walking a tightrope of future career persecution and retrospective judgement.
Success on the TV screen is not always amply rewarded with a success on the big screen. There are a few ways to make the cut – reinvent your career through TV (Keifer Sutherland style), take the path less trodden with a series of slow-burning support roles (Jk Simmons) or have a huge hit on TV simply too large to ignore (Ricky Gervais).
Hollywood is a bit like an elitist private members club – once you’re in, you’re in, but cracking it has proven far too difficult for this list of talented actors in the past. We, the people,...

Can you guess which of those terrific British character actors this is? You know, one of those OBE recipients who spent years doing theater and British T.V. before finally breaking through in Hollywood? One of those guys who will betray George Clooney in a classy spy flick when he’s not doing an arthouse drama or playing Professor Buggleswaggle in a Harry Potter movie? Just kidding—while the professorial-looking fellow above is en route to a British TV studio, it’s actually Meat Loaf on his way to the set of the talk show Loose Women. Hopefully he’ll get to sport this faux-Tom Wilkinson look when he appears on The Celebrity Apprentice alongside Lil Jon, Mark McGrath and Lisa Rinna next year. Shouldn’t be hard to outclass that batch! [Photo: Splash News Online]...

Though he's the writer-director of the acclaimed 2003 dramedy "The Station Agent," Tom McCarthy is probably not the first face you associate with the film (Peter Dinklage was the bigger breakout, no pun intended). But that doesn't bother the New Jersey-born McCarthy, who has had his own share of on screen recognition (more on that later) since he began acting in film and television in the early '90s. (If his name still doesn't ring a bell, then you certainly didn't watch the brilliant final season of Hbo's "The Wire," in which he co-starred as the morally skewed Baltimore Sun reporter Scott Templeton.) McCarthy's second feature behind the camera is "The Visitor," a poignant and lightly funny drama about a widowed and utterly disillusioned economics professor named Walter Vale (Richard Jenkins, "Six Feet Under") who discovers, on a business trip from Connecticut, that a Syrian percussionist and...
