Fun links for Friday

Two links to good, short, easy-reading pieces that are worth checking out:

First, Dave White names ten actors worth knowing for MSNBC. It's a great list, but as with all lists there are a few things worth quibbling with (Rainn Wilson? I'm not doubting his talent but shouldn't he like prove himself in at least a movie first? Sahara didn't really do it for me).

In a happy development one of the names on the list, Lauren Graham, was just cast opposite Steve Carell in the Carell-centric Bruce Almighty sequel Evan Almighty. Possibly the first sequel ever made that I'm really looking forward to even though I never saw the original (and don't much care if I ever do).

Even shorter and more fun is this LA Times piece (free registration required...sorry) about just how old certain actors were when they played teens. But, even though she mentions Olivia Newton-John, the author somehow overlooks the fact that Stockard Channing was 33 (33!) when she played a teen in Grease.
