Paul Giamatti is the very definition of the phrase "working actor," the kind of guy who does small parts in big pictures and looks forward to doing big parts in small pictures. Ever reliable, never anyone's idea of a movie star, he has soldiered for Steven Spielberg in Saving Private Ryan, played a character known as Pig Vomit in the Howard Stern biopic Private Parts and portrayed a cowardly orangutan in the remake of Planet of the Apes. So when he was approached to play Harvey Pekar in American Splendor, it seemed to be just business as usual--except...
Think your layover was rough? TOM HANKS has been stuck at the airport since October. In The Terminal, a Steven Spielberg movie due out next summer, Hanks plays a traveler who is stranded at J.F.K. when a coup in his home country renders his passport worthless. At the airport, Hanks' character "is able to experience both the bounty and the falsehood of America," the actor says.

I don't have any experience really. Talking to Liam, I would think, I wonder what Steven Spielberg does in this situation? I remember once saying to an actress at the end of the first take of a scene, "That was so brilliant. I didn't realize the scene was so serious. You brought a real profundity." And then she was a Belsen victim. She pulled...
...archaeologist kindled the innocent spirit of antique adventure-movie serials in a generation of kids who had never been to a Saturday matinee. After Raiders of the Lost Ark, Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, producer George Lucas and director Steven Spielberg are hatching a fourth episode, to star the sexagenarian Harrison Ford. But why wait for that film? Relive the first three in a spiffy new DVD boxed set from Paramount Home Video...
