[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]'The 27 percenters' from empire magazine This is a term coined at Empire Magazine to refer to those actors whose presence piques your interest in a movie, regardless of title, plot or complete absence of any other redeeming feature, merely because you know they will make it worth watching on some level. In short, they make the movie 27 percent better by seeing fit to exist in its presence. To be a true 27%er you should appear around fourth or fifth on the cast list and be know to most of the world as 'That guy oh I love that guy'[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]I posted about this on Joe Pantoliano's IMDB message board a few years back and I guess it could have been a fraud but going by his post history he seemed genuine and replied 'Wonderful compliment thankyou!' going by the name 'Joey Pants'[/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]Anyway I was wondering which actors FE members would regard as their favourite 27%ers[/font]
