Magneto and Professor X as well. Also Beast while we're at it.  ;)

Magneto, Xavier and Wolverine are the ones which are handled properly. Kelsey Grammar would steal the show no matter what he is in. Halle Berry? Ellen Paige? Anna Paquin? James Marsden? Famke Jansen? Alan Cumming? All these people were wasting their time being in these movies.

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.

I was going on the "actors not primarily remembered for those roles" line. Gandalf, Picard and Frasier are all better known than their Xmen characters.

Serious actors shouldn't want to be remembered for their action movie roles.  They're big pay days.

Gandalf, Picard and Frasier are primary protagonists in their stories. Xenia Onatop is a circus freak hench-wench from 90s Bond.

I would strenuously argue that Famke Janssen is in fact by far most well known for playing Jean Grey.

That's in large part because she's not a terribly well known actress.

Though I do find her screechin' hot.

I agree, which is what made the Onatop reference strange.

1 Xenia Onatopp was hotter than Jean Grey. IMO.
2 Goldeneye was a better movie than X-Men. IMO.
3 I remember lots of lines either spoken by, to or about Ms Onatopp. The only thing I remember about Jean Grey was when she blew up.
4 I said nothing at all about what she was or wasn't famous for. You actually did(the exact opposite of what you're saying now.  :P)

Oh, is Xenia Onatopp the Bond Girl from Goldeneye?  See, I didn't even remember her name.

Anyway, watching Tangled again.  Mandy Moore. :wub:

That's great Ide. Feel free to make references to Famke Janssen as Jean Grey in your own posts.

Though honestly, I even remember her tranny in Nip/Tuck better than her turn in X-Men.  :lol:

Personally, I would show the flesh and blood actor the respect she is due and refer to her as Famke Janssen.

I wasn't referring to the actress though.
