John Travolta

I first saw him in movie the broken arrow as a kid, did not like him. Obviously, John Travolta was the bad guy in that movie. Later on I happened to watch few more flicks of John Travolta and started to like him. He is good actor, singer, and dancer. All of above I am fan of his Joie de vivre nature. He is always remains full of energy and very enthusiastic. Watch his earlier blockbusters like Saturday Night Fever and Grease, and you would definitely agree with my point of view.

Though his career was highly instable in 8o's but he was never out from the minds of his fans. His Career saw a series of disastrous movies like Staying Alive, Perfect, and Two of a Kind. Critics Suggested that he is typecast as a disco stud and not proving anything new to the audience.

"Leo-Mania"

Cover of Titanic

I first saw Leonardo Dicaprio in the movie TITANIC like other million people, though it was not his first movie and he has been acting since his childhood. But Titanic proved to be the biggest blockbuster of all time and only after that movie i started my hunt for his earlier movies and obviously followed his subsequent films. What made him my favorite was the fact the release of that movie many commented that we have a resemblance and l as a teen found a sense of proud to hear that, though now i laugh at that. but the Dicaprio remained one of my favorite new generation actor specially after the movies like Gangs of New York , Catch me if you can, The Aviator, The Departed and Blood diamond to name a few.
DiCaprio’s career took off with his appearing in several commercials and educational films. He got his break on television in 1990 when he was cast in the short-lived series based on the movie Parenthood. After Parenthood, Dicaprio had bit parts on several shows, including The New Lassie and Roseanne, as well as a brief stint on the soap opera Santa Barbara, playing the young Mason Capwell.

His debut film role was Critters 3, a B-grade horror film, which later went straight to video. Soon after, in 1991, he became a recurring cast member on the hit ABC sitcom Growing Pains, playing Luke Brower, a homeless boy who is taken in by the Seavers.

His breakthrough came in 1992, when he beat out hundreds of other boys for the role of Toby Wolff in This Boy's Life, co-starring Robert De Nero and Ellen Barkin. His performance as the troubled, abused teenager was critically acclaimed and Hollywood soon took notice. Later in 1993, he co-starred as the mentally handicapped brother to Johnny Depp in What's Eating Gilbert Grape. His performance earned him both Academy Award and Golden Globe nominations for best supporting actor.
The move from "star" to "superstar" came when Dicaprio played Jack Dawson in the 1997 blockbuster Titanic, alongside Kate Winslet as Rose DeWitt Bukater, which soon became the highest grossing film of all time and received 11 Oscars

Apart from the movies he is a very responsible human being and does his bit for the mother earth, Spends a lot in charity and campaining against the Global warming.

Will Smith “I M Legend”

Cover of Bad Boys (Special Edition)

Will Smith known as an Actor, Producer and Rapper. But that’s not the reason I like him., I adore him as a person who is so confident that whatever he does , does it with excellence. He is the only actor in world cinema whose movies have grossed over 100 $ for consecutive 8 times as well as the only actor to have eight consecutive films open at #1 on the domestic box office as a Lead Actor. Its never easy for any actor to deliver back to back hits like he has done. he is the most bankable star of Hollywood today. Smith has been nominated for four Golden Globes, two Academy Awards, and has won multiple Grammys. Smith rose to fame as a rapper under the name The Fresh Prince in the late 1980s and his Role in the television series The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. His most notable films include Bad Boys and its sequel; Men in Black and its sequel; Independence Day; I, Robot; Ali; The Pursuit of Happyness; I Am Legend; Hancock; and Seven Pounds. He has entered into Guinness book of world record fro attending 3 premiers in duration of less than 24 hours.
Smith started his career titled as The Fresh Prince, with his childhood friend Jeffrey "DJ Jazzy Jeff" Townes as turntablist and producer as well as Ready Rock C (Clarence Holmes) as the human beat box. The trio was known for performing humorous, radio-friendly songs, most notably "Parents Just Don't Understand" and "summertime." They gained critical acclaim for winning the first ever Grammy in the Rap category (1988). Smith lived as a free bird and spent money freely during his early career and underpaid his income taxes. The Internal Revenue Service eventually assessed a $2.8 million tax debt against Smith, took many of his possessions, and garnished his income.
Smith was nearly bankrupt in 1990 when the NBC television network signed him to a contract and built a TV Show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, around him. The show was successful and launched his acting career. Smith set himself the goal of becoming "'the biggest movie star in the world'," studying box office successes' common characteristics. Although he made a notable dramatic film debut in Six Degrees of Separation while still appearing in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Smith's film career took off with his role in the buddy cop action film Bad Boys (1995) along with co-star Martin Lawrence. After that movie there was no looking back for him.
Even President Barack Obama stated that if a film were to ever be made about his life, he would have Smith play his part, because "he has the ears". Obama stated that the two have discussed a possibility of a film based on the 2008 election.
On December 1, 2008, TV Guide reported that Smith has been selected as one of America’s top ten most fascinating people of 2008 for a Barbara Walters ABC special that aired on December 4, 2008.
