Paul Giamatti


Yea, you know who he is.  Paul Giamatti is not quite a household name, but he's been in a ton of movies you may have seen.  Most known for his roles in Lady in the Water, Sideways, American Splendor, and the most recent John Adams HBO series.  You may also remember him as the orangutan in Planet of the Apes, or as "Pig Vomit" in Howard Stern's Private Parts.  One of my favorite B List celeberties.
