Your favorite non-human movie star My pick would be Wilson the Volleyball from "Cast Away".
No other piece of sports equipment could have so exquisitely evoked the emotion and inspiration as did the staid, empathetic Wilson. A ping-pong ball? No, much too wimpy - not enough depth, not enough strength. A medicine ball, or bowling ball? Absurd! Both too macho, too overbearing - utterly incapable of conveying the sensitivity required to for this role. Robert Zemeckis clearly made the correct decision in casting a volleyball to give life to the character of Wilson. A close second for me is that one penguin from "March of the Penguins". S/he was amazing. While onscreen, I was aware of no other penguins but she/he and I truly believed her/his touching performance would catapult her/him to fame and the Hollywood A-list...but alas, stardom has eluded her/him. A shame, really, as we are so sorely in need of other than just pretty faces in today's movies, yet the promising, unconventional types with substance so often go overlooked. Why, as you read this now, s/he is likely somewhere out there working an unfulfilling job in retail to pay the bills while, day by day, bit by bit, her/his creative soul slowly dies. Share your personal favorite non-human movie star! | |

Higgins, here with his good friend Frank Inn, blew me away with his acting abilities in "Benji". and Gollum, proud recipient of "Best Virtual Performance" at the 2003 MTV Movie Awards. -A troubled soul, and a stealer of scenes. Well, lucky-lucky us. Lucky-lucky-luck.

Great minds, madam. We should consider founding a Wilson the Volleyball fanclub. Pump up his deflated career, as it were. | |
