Ryan Phillippe

Remember Phillipe in "54"? If a man can boogie like that on the dance floor, he must be Kuh-razy with the pill!
Brad Gyger
Palo Alto, Calif.

Neil Patrick Harris

Doogie Howser! Both goofy teenage stars.
Josh R
Jackson, N.J.

Matt Damon

You need a big draw at the box office.
Brad A. Rutta
Stevens Point, Wis.

Luke Perry

Same look: Balding, curly hair, symbol of the '80s. Plus, he's kinda washed up and needs a supporting role like this one.
Eric Fox
Santa Clara, Calif.

Heath Ledger

The curls.

Rochester, N.Y.
