I was surprised at the level of commitment that Andrew Lincoln has. The extreme situations that he's asked to perform - that's got to be seriously draining, and he keeps going and going. He's almost not human.

But having said all of that, that still doesn't account for a lot of the increase in popularity which stems, I think, from Lincoln's personal characteristics.

Lincoln was the greatest speaker and he was ridiculed for how he looked, you know?

I think Lincoln had a unique parenting style. He let his kids run free and wild.

People don't realize what a brilliant politician Lincoln was. Looking back, we want to ascribe a level of providence to his every decision but he was a cunning and calculating politician; from the cultivation of his image as a hayseed from Illinois, to his ability to keep this country together under dire circumstances.

Sean Penn, for his acting as well as his writing and directing. There are so many actors I respect, but his reach is so wide.

Arnold Schwarzenegger, I don't know if you'd call him a great actor, but he's amazing in terms of his presence, and he is interesting enough that you want to watch him.

Robert Taylor was not only a splendid actor in a wide variety of roles but one of the most handsome men in the western world.

I like Edward G. Robinson - he started as a character actor and became a lead, which is probably why I like him.
