I'm just thinking of Tobey Maguire, for example. Like some others on this list, he's still young so who knows what will happen? Also memories and knowledge of movies change. It's entirely possible that 'Wonder Boys' or 'The Ice Storm' have more staying power than the Spiderman movies and that's what he's remembered for. Or he could start doing a lot of films again and... John Travolta, for example, might have been thought to never be able to break out of 'Saturday Night Live,' and then 'Pulp Fiction' happened.
I think it's a great poll and I think this list is quite good. I'd just suggest that one small change. :)
