1: Nicolas Cage in: a) psycho-mode, b) morose, calm, bored mode?
B, morose. He's not that bad as a psycho, but for some reason I just don't buy it often.
2: Al Pacino in: a) Frank Slade "hoo-ha!" mode, or b) "Serpico"/"Dog Day Afternoon" mad shouting mode.
Mad shouting. I hate the "hoo-ha" mode.
3: Harrison Ford in: a) cowboyish Han Solo/Indiana Jones mode, or b) angry/worried decent American responsible father mode?
God, the worried father mode is so wack, as they say. Cowboyish Han Solo mode, definitely.
4: Jeremy Irons in: a) calm, classy gentleman mode, b) perpetually angry villain mode?
Perpetually angry villian.
5: John Lithgow in: a) goofy, comedic mode, b) scary criminal gone bonkers mode.
He's a pretty good psycho criminal type guy.

7: Robin Williams in: a) retard on crack mode, b) serious, calm, quiet guy with facial hair mode.
Retard on crack. Bicentennial Man made me think of Mr. Roboto, except gayer.
8: Anthony Hopkins in: a) savage serial killer mode, b) gentleman/butler mode.
Go for the upset and say gentleman butler here, although it's still sort of weird to see him in gentleman mode aafter SotL.
9: Edward Norton in: a) wimpy guy mode, b) dangerous jerk mode.
Dangerous jerk. Wimpy guy is much less satisfying to watch (See: American History X vs. Keeping the Faith)
10: Samuel L. Jackson in: a) seriously disturbed bad ass having a bad hair day mode, b) serious guy wearing glasses who gets angry easily.
Ummm, both?
11: Keanu Reeves in: a) Ted without Bill mode, or b) "I'm trying to act here, okay? Look, I have a serious face!" mode.
Trying to act here serious face. C'mon, if I wanted to watch Bill and Ted I'd watch Bill and Ted. I ain't going to see it in the theater anyway, and I'll get it on video for free, so who cares?
12: Jack Nicholson in: a) likable jerk who growls a lot mode, or b) whiny guy who looks constipated and is waiting for the chance to go bonkers mode.
Chinatown.

As long as he's beating people up, guy with no personality mode.
15: Bill Paxton in: a) goofball supporting character mode, b) "serious" lead character mode.
Bill Paxton sucks. Make him a serious lead so I'll know to avoid the movie straight from the getgo, instead of finding out once I'm already in the theater.
16: Billy Bob Thornton in: a) mentally deficient redneck mode, or b) calm, smart guy in control mode.
Smart guy in control.
