50 Actors We'd Watch in Anything, Part 2

AMY ADAMS
Amy Adams' recent appearance on The Late Show With David Letterman helped me realize just why she's so much fun to watch: In her interview, she reminisced fondly about her days in Minnesota doing dinner theater — or, as she called it, ''skits 'n' grits'' — and even showed off photos of her in a pig costume for a performance of State Fair. Clearly, this is a woman who will go to great lengths to entertain an audience, and her delightful, happy-to-be-here spirit (on display in Catch Me if You Can, Junebug, and Enchanted) makes her one to root for. — Dawnie Walton
