wish list for actors

This is a list of actors and actresses I would love to see more of, not to say they aren't already in plenty of films, but that they should get more and better roles...is that bad grammar or what?

Benecio Del Toro- loved him in "Traffic", and all his other roles. I hope his current "Wolfman" movie does well. He's one of those men that can look lovely, evil, deep, and dirty all in one. And who doesn't want to see that combination on the big screen? Yes, please!
Phillip Seymour Hoffman- he's been doing movies forever. As a young man he is barely recongnizable ( a little smaller). In "Magnolia" and in "Boogie Nights" he is so good in the roles of empathetic pull, and although is highly acclaimed, may not get the top billing roles due to his unique looks. Talent with a capitol T.
Zooey Daschenel- needs to be in more roles where she's not so "indy/quirky" where she can show off some real acting talent. I loved her in "The Good Girl", "The Hitchhiker's Guide..." etc but wish she was given more depth instead of playing similar parts.
Nicole Kidman- i know she's done a million movies, and has won awards. If she would lay off the frozen face Botox of late, I'd love to see her in more roles that aren't so "ice queen pretty". She's a great actor- watch "Dead Calm" and see how her face actually used to work and how good she is.
Jake Gylenhall- I first noticed him in "Bubble Boy" a hilarious comedy. really. Then he broke my heart in "Brokeback Mountain" and also in "The Good Girl" where he played the Holden Caulfield-esque teen obssesed with Jennifer Anniston's character. He was amazing in "Donnie Darko" one of my favorite films. He's perhaps too youngish looking to be given more adult roles...I hope he gets them as he ages.
Ryan Gosling- please please more please. He's awesome in "Lars and the Real Girl" and in "Fracture" not to mention his early "Murder by Numbers" with Sandra Bullock. He will hopefully get more roles based on his talent and not his looks. He's got a Jimmy Stewart look but could totally pull off a Humphrey Bogart role if producers were willing to let him not shave for a day.
well, have to go for now and howl at the moon and eat homemade pizza.
tata for now cats and dogs!
