The Bed List/The Dinner List

BED LIST: CAMPBELL SCOTT



Campbell Scott is the one man who can truly claim he's "American Theater Royalty"--he's the son of George C. Scott and Colleen Dewhurst. Big Night, the movie he co-directed with his close friend Stanley Tucci, is a favorite at Chez mimi. Great character acting, terrific casting (Campbell is a Cadillac salesman in a fun minor role), wonderful story--plus Tony Shalhoub (see below) as a temperamental Italian chef. He chooses interesting roles, which makes me think he'd be just as interesting in the bedroom. A thinking woman's hottie, that's for sure. Yum.

DINNER LIST: TONY SHALHOUB



I've yet to meet someone who doesn't love Monk, USA's series about an obsessive-compulsive ex-detective. Tony Shalhoub makes a character who'd annoy the pants off the rest of us interesting, even lovable. That's not easy to do. He's a chameleon who can play everything from the aforementioned temperamental Italian chef to a spaceship engineer (Galaxy Quest--check out his love scene with the chick with tentacles) to an alien arms dealer (Men in Black) and make them believable. He's witty, smart, and not the least bit obsessive. I think.
