...soon. This isn't his fault, but it is his problem." Each audit tots the star's assets and liabilities (Affleck's: "Easygoing, cocksure charm"/"Consistently refers to his acting as 'the work'") and judges the celeb's "actual" and "deserved" level of fame (for Affleck, respectively: "Johnny Depp" and "Omar Epps"). The site's "2 Stars, 1 Slot" compares eerily similar niche actors (Vicki Lewis vs. Kathy Griffin in "Battle of the Redheaded Flibbertigibbets"), while the forthcoming "Media Hog" will be a celebrity fantasy league where readers "adopt" stars, who score points for hogging press coverage...
Epps still has a way to go before hitting the A list. Though he has a commanding presence onscreen, his resume is erratic or eclectic, depending on how you look at it. "I'd compare him to Johnny Depp," says Lee's partner, Sam Kitt. "His pictures haven't all performed well, but his talent is widely acknowledged." Apart from supporting bits in silly sequels to Scream and Major League, he has top billing in two HBO movies and had a stint on ER's 1996-97 season.

It's handsome and elaborate, with nicely quirky turns by Depp, Frank Langella and Emmanuelle Seigner (Mrs. P). Polanski, the perpetual exile, has made his most accessible film since fleeing the U.S. soon after Chinatown...
...play some local clubs. North House enthusiasts heard the musicians' original tunes at T.T. the Bear's in Central Square and at the Loeb Ex last month. At a climactic moment, they stumbled upon a legitimate chance to play at L.A.'s famous Viper Room, owned by Johnny Depp--where River Phoenix met his untimely death...
...would also be a welcome change for Jarmusch, 47, whose oddness and integrity have won him international acclaim but whose films have never caused box-office stampedes in the U.S. (Dead Man, his 1995 Johnny Depp western, made about as much in France as it did here: $1 million.) He has scrambled for financing from French and Japanese sources and cast his all-American movies with actors from all over. It would be a shame if he were remembered only for casting Roberto Benigni in his first English-language features (Down by Law and Night on Earth) or for being...
