It's been a while since I have been able to blog....computer problems....health problems.....the place I used to work at went out of business.....well I'm better now, have a new computer, and a brand new job working for a pretty darn good company. I thought I might as well start my blog back up because I have been watching plenty of movies over the last couple of months. I just watched a pretty good movie last night I haven't seen since I was a young kid and it just happened to be the debut of my next pick out of my top 100 favorite actors/actresses of all time.

Adam Baldwin

Born February 27, 1962 in Chicago, Illinois he graduated from the prestigious New Trier Township High School. Shortly after graduating her found his first starring role in one of my favorite movies from my childhood My Bodyguard {1980}. He starred as a troubled teen, Ricky Linderman, who stood up for kids being picked on at school.

Later in his career he starred as the ever popular Animal Mother in the excellent film Full Metal Jacket {1987}. Adam is able to pull off the tough guy roll with ease and can be a real slime without being hated. He also starred in various roles in Independence Day {1996}, The Poseidon Adventure {2005}, Radio Flyer {1992}, and From the Earth to the Moon {1998}.

He has been very active in the television market with various fan favorite roles on The X-Files as Knowle Rohrer and my personal favorite as Jayne Cobb on the all too short series Firefly in which he won the 2006 Best Supporting Actor/Television in from the SyFy Genre Awards.

He is now starring as NSA Agent John Casey on the television show Chuck. He also was a voice actor on the Xbox 360 game Halo 3 as a Marine and he shouts several phrases from the show Firefly such as "Have a taste of Vera!".

Hi Mackski, Glad you got a new job (a better one) and a new computer (yeah). I really enjoy Adam Baldwin on "Chuck" and am glad he is finally getting the accolades. I also enjoyed him in two other tv shows, Day Break and The Inside.
