6:15 - The ironic thing about this video saying Bruce Willis is "known as an action star," his biggest performance prior to "Die Hard" was on "Moonlighting." When he was cast as John McClane, the general reaction was "That guy does comedy! He's not an action guy! This is stupid casting!"

It’s certain that at least once in any Watchmojo video they’ll show that they don’t believe anything happened before they got old enough to see it themselves. Since most if not all of them were born after 1979, that’s not much, really. Now, I don’t have a problem with being too young to know about something, but a channel whose entire purpose is to make lists of information really ought to have researchers who know how to, y’know… research. But not only do all Watchmojo and related channels miss obvious historical facts, but they declare things that are obviously wrong with such gusto.

you shouldn't really count actors playing themselves, and the ones in THE SIMPSONS deserve their own list. What counts as a 'serious actor'? Actors ought to be able to do comedy or drama, with the right script and direction; the danger is when 'comic actors' who behave as if their very appearance is creating paroxyms of laughter, go 'dramatic' using the same techniques, which don't convince (Robbie Coltrane syndrome). Anthony LaPaglia in FRASIER was incredibly wrong: A Mancunian talking like a cockney. Had the show's makers any interest in Britain, they might have explained that Simon Moon learned to read watching Bob Hoskins in the series 'On the Move', and thought it only worked if he did the voice as well.
