These are some of the individuals I admire for various reasons. Enjoy.

Acting Rolemodels

• Tom Hanks --  I think this would be the actor I admire most... Down-to-earth, talented, witty.
• Mel Gibson --  Down-to-earth, family man, and a successful actor who didn't want to one be at first.
• Anthony Hopkins -  Such depth and talent, how can you not enjoy the fruits of his acting?
• John Cusak --  A talented actor, who often does not get the full recognition he deserves.
• Robert Picardo --  Of Star Trek Voyager fame. A character actor whose performances I always enjoy.
• Tim Allen --  A great comedic actor, with a style all his own. I loved him as Tim Taylor in 'Home Improvment'.
• Viggo Mortensen --  Most notably 'Aragon' from the Lord of the Rings Trilogy.

In the Music Biz....

• Please visit my Music page for favorites in this area.

Athletes

• Elvis Stojko --  Perhaps one of my favorite olympic figure-skaters! He's definitely original, and I admire that.
• Sarah Hughes --  Anyone see the 2002 Olympics? Figure skater. Inspirational. 'Nuff said!
• Robin Yount --  Baseball Hall-of-Famer who played his entire career for the Milwaukee Brewers.

Historic Figures

• Jonathan "Stonewall" Jackson --  Famous Confederate General of the American Civil War.
• Robert E. Lee --  Perhaps one of history's greatest and most well-respected military commanders.

Artists (painters, and the like)

• Rembrandt --  Great stuff!
• Thomas Kinkade --  "The Painter of Light"
• Terry Redlin --  I love the 'rustic' scenic settings for his paintings.
