Crossovers: From The Big Screen To The Silver Screen

[NSL]

I hope you're all starting to get the point by now. I'd like to know who you're favorite crossover is, for actors/actresses that have made the switch from movies to TV. There's been a ton that have gone from TV to movies, so I'd like to know the other way around.


I'm going to take this chance to plug my favorite current TV show, The United States Of Tara. Toni Collette plays the lead role, as well as a few supporting roles. Her character, Tara, has Dissociative Identity Disorder. Basically, she has multiple personalities. While I liked her in movies like The Sixth Sense and The Night Listener, I really think she is better on TV. She plays the character very well, and you can see her growing into it as each episode passes. The rest of the cast is very good as well, and helps to make her shine.

Charlie Sheen is the first person that came to mind when I read this thread. I've only seen Two and A Half Men a couple of times, but they were hilarious, and I understood then why it had such a big following. I plan on buying the first couple of seasons on DVD soon, in fact.

And that's all I can really think of. There are a bunch of names I could come up with who made the transition from TV into film well, but I'm drawing a blank thinking about those who went from film to television. Courteney Cox and Jennifer Aniston are really the only two other names that have come to my mind, but they don't really count since they weren't that known before joining Friends, even though both starred in movies that became hugely popular (Cox in Ace Ventura, and Aniston in Leprechaun).
