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.

Gary Sinise has amazed me on CSI:NY. I always used to think he was one scary SOB (on Forrest Gump and Ransom especially), but I like his CSI character.

Will Smith for sure and I completely agree with Lili Taylor. I loved her in Six Feet Under but I think she's outdone herself with State of Mind.
I was also thinking how great it is to see Jason Priestley back in action. He's on a show called Side Order of Life... right before that show State of Mind. I don't know if he's done any notable movies but he's great in this show!

how could I forget to add Michael J. Fox (family ties, back to the future)
add Mr.T to my list (rocky III, The A-team)
Jennifer Aniston went from Friends to movies like The Good Girl, Derailed etc.
John Travolta went from Welcome Back Kotter to movies like Saturday Night Fever, Grease etc.

Julia Louis-Dreyfus was in Christmas Vacation and quite a few comedy movies.

Yeeah so I've finally been able to catch an episode of State of Mind and I gotta say that Lili Taylor is sooo good in this show! Can't stop watching it. My sundays are dedicated to her.
