Which actors that have crossed over from movies to tv (or visa versa) do you just LOVE?

Lili Taylor from Six Feet Under has a new show called State of Mind coming out. I am curious to see it; I loved her in Mystic Pizza.

Another favorite of mine is America Ferrera from Ugly Betty. She was great in Real Women Have Curves & Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.

You might have seen him in some TV westerns as well as films like The Land that time forgot and Warlords of Atlantis.

That's a good point.

Also, how about Anthony Edwards?

He was great in Revenge of the Nerds.

13 replies and yet no-one has mentioned Alan Dale. Ok, it was difficult finding a movie he was in, but I did it, Star Trek: Nemesis :D and also the classic, Houseboat Horror.

No one said Will Smith! What a successful career he has had!

But yeah, I checked out State of Mind. It's great stuff. Lili Taylor really stepped up her game in this show.
