UI THEATER ALUMNUS
BRUCE SHAPIRO IS THE DIALECT WIZARD OF OZ TEXT: UI PRESS SERVICES LAYOUT & DESIGN: BRICE JOHNSON VUE MAGAZINE
ruce Shapiro, an alumnus of the University of Iowa Department of Theatre Arts, has been dubbed "the dialect coach to the stars." And for good reason: He wrote the book, literally, on how Australian actors can sound like Americans in stage, film and TV productions. A new edition of his 2000 book "Speaking American, the Australian Actors Guide to an American Dialect" with an accompanying CD, is just out from Currency Press, Australia's performing arts publisher.
Shapiro recently finished work on the HBO mini-series "The Pacific," produced by Stephen Spielberg and Tom Hanks as a sequel to "Band of Brothers." The biggest-budget mini-series ever filmed in Australia, "The Pacific" features American actors in the three lead roles, but fills out the cast with more than 175 Australian actors who must pass for American Marines, nurses and civilians. And he is now at work on "Triangle," a fantasy thriller starring popular Australian actress Melissa George. They are just the latest of more than 40 cinema and TV productions on which Shapiro has contributed his expertise during the last decade, including movies featuring Jodie Foster, Naomi Watts, Julia Roberts, John Cleese, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Redford, Kathy Bates, William Hurt, Jamie Foxx, Sarah Michelle Geller, Paris Hilton, Rob Lowe, Donald Sutherland, Gabriel Byrne, William H. Macy and the Carradine brothers. Shapiro earned his UI Master of Fine Arts degree in directing in 1979, and after teaching at Tufts University in Boston he moved Down Under in 1995 on a fellowship to the Queensland University of Technology (QUT). That placed him near the location of the movie studios that were booming due to favorable exchange rates between the U.S. and Australian dollars, and Australian government tax incentives friendly to the Hollywood presence. "One of my duties at QUT was to direct an American play and in the process teach the student actors to speak American, because of a burgeoning American film industry that was happening on the Gold Coast, about an hour south of Brisbane," he said. "Warner Bros. and Village Roadshow had recently purchased the Gold Coast studios built by Dino Delaurentis in the early 1990s. At the time of the 2000 Olympic games in Sydney, the Australian dollar was worth about 65 U.S. cents, a great deal for tourists and the American film industry." He briefly moved to Melbourne to lead the acting program at the Victorian College of the Arts at the University of Melbourne - a job that gained him a permanent residency visa - but he returned to the Gold Coast in 1997 to complete his book "Reinventing Drama: Acting, Iconicity, Performance," which was published in 1999. "I also got an agent and started going on auditions," Shapiro said. "The casting director at the Gold Coast studios asked if I'd be interested in doing some dialogue coaching, and I accepted. So since October of 1997 I have been continuously working on films. Over the past 11 years the new Fox Studios opened in Sydney and also the Central City Studios in Melbourne, bringing lots of American films down under. I am constantly on the move between those cities." In a nationally broadcast interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation, Shapiro explained some of the challenges that Australian actors face in sounding convincingly American: "There are 12 different sounds that you must

Shapiro has contributed his expertise during the last decade, including movies featuring Jodie Foster, Naomi Watts, Julia Roberts, John Cleese, Oprah Winfrey, Robert Redford, Kathy Bates, William Hurt, Jamie Foxx, Sarah Michelle Geller, Paris Hilton, Rob Lowe, Donald Sutherland, Gabriel Byrne, William H. Macy and the Carradine brothers. shift to, leaving Australian and shifting to American, and those involve nine vowels which are both pure vowels and diphthongs, vowel glides and then three consonant sounds. "The second major difference is what I call 'intonation' in the book. And this is the rise and fall of the pitch of your voice. Australians have one style of intonation and Americans have a different style of intonation." Part of the intonation challenge is the difference between the "Australian questioning intonation," in which statements end with a rising pitch, and the "American declarative intonation," in which statements end with a falling pitch. "When American speakers speak, they start at a certain pitch and then they finish below that mark," he said. "So when we come to a period we go down to finish that sound, and that creates a much deeper sound. Also, because we open our mouths wider, it becomes like a megaphone. It's like just bellowing out the sound. So yes, particularly men, and in an emotional situation where somebody gets angry or bellicose for some reason, they will really lower their pitch and get down to business. I mean business. And it's harder for Australian men to find that sound." But that's not the end of the challenges. "The Australian dialect is called a spread-lip dialect, and the American dialect is called a drop-jaw dialect, and what that does is it allows the American speaker to use about a cubic centimeter more space in the mouth at the back," Shapiro said. "So we say certain words much farther back than do Australians." His book includes illustrations that show the different lip positions that go with those different sounds. One additional hurdle that Shapiro sometimes faces with Australian actors is the distinction between accurate dialect and good acting: "There's a trick to it. I mean, you have to
realize that this is a technical skill that an actor needs to develop, and it's really not about their acting or the delivery of their lines. It's just a subtle shift in how they use their mouth and how they lilt their voice for intonation to create a different dialect in which they still exude their own persona, their own acting. Their own choices as an actor still come through, so they don't sound like anybody other than themselves, only it's themselves speaking American."
Having conquered Australia, Shapiro now has his sights set on Asia, where he has already worked with actors on the American dialect, including a series of speaking engagements in Taiwan. He is now working on a book tentatively titled "Speaking American English: A Guide to American Pronunciation and Conversation for Speakers of Asian English," again with a CD, following the successful format of his Australian book. "Being a multi-cultural country, Australia has afforded me the opportunity to work with many Asian English speakers, and in addition to my current activities in Taiwan, I previously worked with the Japanese company Kumon in developing their English Language Video Series for Japan and Korea. I also coached the wonderful Vietnamese actress Kieu Chinh (from 'The Joy Luck Club') in 'Tempted' a few years ago, and last year I spent a couple of months in Thailand researching the problems Thai speakers have with English."

The Board of the Cedar Falls Community Theatre is announcing an experienced cast for the laugh-a-minute screwball comedy Murder at the Howard Johnson's, written by Ron Clark and Sam Bobrick. Bobrick previously wrote for the television shows "Get Smart" and "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour". For some women, a home, furniture, clothing and five watches equals connubial bliss, but not for Arlene Miller, whose husband Paul will buy her anything. Searching for selffulfillment in the guise of sexual passion, Arlene discovers the couple's dentist, Mitchell Lovell. Intractable Paul won't agree to a divorce, so Arlene and Mitchell plot his murder. But luckily for Paul, the two are hapless when it comes to vile deeds. So he returns to aid Arlene when she wants to kill Mitchell for being untrue. The antics continue as the two men gang up on fickle Arlene in the second act. The tangled triangle careens on its

and filmmaker fascinated by antique optical toys, Scanimation is a state-of-the-art sixphase animation process that combines the "persistence of vision" principle with a striped acetate overlay to give the illusion of movement. It harkens back to the old magical days of the kinetoscope, and the effect is astonishing, like a Muybridge photo series springing into action-or, in terms kids can relate to, like a video without a screen. Complementing the art is a delightful rhyming text full of simple questions and fun, nonsense replies: Can you gallop like a horse? giddyup-a-loo! Can you strut like a rooster? cock-a-doodle-doo!

TRIBUTE
A Scanimation Picture Book
By Nora Roberts
by Rufus Butler Sedar (Hardcover)
While cleaning out the attic, Cilla unearths a collection of unsigned love letters to Janet from a local suitor, which adds spice to the puzzle of Janet's death. Synopses & Review
NO ONE
Virginia's Shenandoah Valley is a long way from Hollywood. And that's exactly how Cilla McGowan wants it. Cilla, a former child star who has found more satisfying work as a restorer of old houses, has come to her grandmother's farmhouse, tools at her side, to rescue it from ruin. Sadly, no one was able to save her grandmother, the legendary Janet Hardy. An actress with a tumultuous life, Janet entertained glamorous guests and engaged in decadent affairs-but died of an overdose in this very house more than thirty years earlier. To this day, Janet haunts Cilla's dreams. And during waking hours, Cilla is haunted by her melodramatic, five-times-married mother, who carried on in the public spotlight and never gave her a chance at a normal childhood. By coming east, rolling up her sleeves, and rehabbing this wreck of a house, Cilla intends to find some kind of normalcy for herself. Plunging into the project with gusto, she's almost too busy to notice her neighbor, graphic novelist Ford Sawyer-but his lanky form, green eyes, and easy, unflappable humor (not to mention his delightfully ugly dog, Spock) are hard to ignore. Determined not to perpetuate the family tradition of ill-fated romances, Cilla steels herself against Ford's quirky charm, but she can't help indulging in a little fantasy. But love and a peaceful life may not be in the cards for Cilla. In the attic, she has found a cache of unsigned letters suggesting that Janet Hardy was pregnant when she diedand that the father was a local married man. Cilla can't help but wonder what really happened all those years ago. The mystery only deepens with a series of intimidating acts and a frightening, violent assault.And if Cilla and Ford are unable to sort out who is targeting her and why, she maylike her world-famous grandmother- be cut down in the prime of her life.
There's never before been a book like Gallop! Employing a patented new technology called Scanimation, each page is a marvel that brings animals, along with one shining star, to life with art that literally moves. It's impossible not to flip the page, and flip it again, and again, and again. Synopsis: A first book of motion for kids, it shows a horse in full gallop and a turtle swimming up the page. A dog runs, a cat springs, an eagle soars, and a butterfly flutters. Created by Rufus Butler Seder, an inventor, artist,
Seder makes his children's book debut with his groundbreaking Scanimation technology in this primer on motion that actually depicts a variety of animals running, swinging from trees or in flight. Readers will gasp with delight when they open this book, produced as paper-over-board: a hidden tab in each heavy page slides an acetate layer
printed with vertical black lines over an encoded, detailed image of a horse, rooster, turtle or other creature, and the layers' interaction creates the illusion of motion. The black-and-white images openly reference the motion photography of Eadweard Muybridge (an influence that Seder acknowledges on the copyright page) and they contrast with the bright palette used for the spare, reader-directed text. ("Can you soar like an eagle?/ Whooshwhoosh-glide!/ Can you swing like a chimp?/ Swoop-swoop-slide!") This book may encourage plenty of galloping-and jumping, running and bounding-on the part of young readers; adults will find it a marvel to look at in its own right. Ages 3-up.

MEDICATION MADNESS by Peter Breggin (Hardcover) Following his landmark book Talking Back to Prozac, psychiatrist Breggin follows up by arguing against what he calls the "spellbinding" effects of psychiatric medications, and he doesn't mean "spellbinding" as praise. His point is that all psychiatric drugs are dangerous; he describes how these medications can compromise brain function, resulting in bizarre, even violent behavior. Breggin, a former staffer at the National Institute of
Mental Health who has testified in liability suits against pharmaceutical companies, cautions that consumers should thoroughly examine the drug labels for side effects as a precaution for such drugs as stimulants, antidepressants, tranquilizers, antipsychotics and mood stabilizers. The tragic cases of beleaguered patients detailed here are troubling. Breggin joins the growing group of experts who argue that the FDA is "more dedicated to serving the drug companies than consumers," relying on doctored or incomplete evidence and botched tests. Breggin's assertion that psychotropic drugs induce rather than treat brain imbalances is controversial, but this book is a reasoned look at these drugs, which have come under increasing scrutiny in the media as well as medical world.

Culture attracts people and companies to communities. A survey of more than 1,200 hightechnology workers found that "community quality of life" was the second most important factor - right below salary - in the attractiveness of a new job. In fact, it scored higher than benefits, stock options or company stability.
These workers value "quality of place" above nearly all other factors. "Quality of place," according to Professor Richard Florida of Carnegie Melon University, is determined by lifestyle, environmental quality, a vibrant music and arts scene and natural outdoor amenities. Beyond pure preference of place, there are perhaps more powerful reasons that innovative workers need to live in an enriching cultural environment. This is the fuel for their creativity, which is the raw material of their work. "People cannot create when they work and live in a culturally sterile environment," says John D. Ong, Chairman Emeritus of The B.F. Goodrich Company. These creative workers are themselves the raw materials for the new economy. They produce ideas, and without them, communities, states and nations will have to depend on ideas produced elsewhere for their economic capital, according to American University Professor Shalini Venturelli. Cultural institutions are not only essential fuel for creative workers; they are ground zero for arts education and the development of creative thinking skills. Venturelli considers this the most important public policy issue facing our country. "As nations begin to grasp the critical importance of educational quality to an economy based on creative capital, there will be an international race to … re-incorporate the linkages between the arts, humanities and the sciences."

At a press conference held on July 16, 2008, at the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design, Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton and State Superintendent Elizabeth Burmaster announced they will co-chair the Wisconsin Task Force on Arts and Creativity in Education, convened to ensure Wisconsin the creative workforce and entrepreneurial talent necessary for the state to compete well in a 21st century global economy.
Arts districts are breathing new life into the second stories of Main Street retail businesses with live/work spaces for potters and painters. Adaptive reuse is turning urban white elephants into essential downtown housing or cultural centers. This in turn enhances property values and tax resources for both rural and urban communities.
And baby boomers are not the only target audience with packed pocketbooks. U.S. News and World Report says "While retirees continue to flock to the sunny climes of Florida and the Southwest, small culturally vibrant towns outside the Sun Belt are also getting a wave of seniors, the most avid arts patrons of any age group." These seniors have disposable income, and they are inclined to invest in communities that support their interests.
“Creativity and innovation will be the cornerstone of Wisconsin competitiveness in the years ahead,” Lawton said. “We must make strategic investments now to ensure Wisconsin has the bright innovators and entrepreneurs we need to drive our state forward.” “The arts build 21st century skills. From my experience as a music teacher, drama director, district fine arts coordinator, and principal of a creative arts magnet school, I know that the arts not only boost student achievement in school, they reinforce the knowledge and abilities business and industry needs
The task force will examine state-level policies and local practices to determine their impact on the scope and access to quality arts education opportunities in Wisconsin; recommend refinement and changes to DPI, as well as new initiatives, to support arts education, creativity, and innovation; and identify state and local agencies, organizations, and businesses that can collaborate to provide leadership and resources in support of arts education, creativity, and innovation. OWN BACKYARD
IOWA
Burmaster recently led a Wisconsin delegation to the Education Leaders Institute, sponsored by the National Endowment for the Arts, to bring a national focus to the importance of arts education.
today and for the future,” Burmaster said. “The work of this task force to improve access and equity in arts education as part of a balanced curriculum is vital for our students and the future of our state and nation.”
It was a bold vision. Invest $200 million in cultural and community attractions and change the face of Iowa. With all of the Vision Iowa funds committed, Iowa is now home to a world class Mississippi River Museum & Aquarium in Dubuque, a riverside development with a theater and arts center in Davenport, new events centers in Sioux City and Des Moines, along with Science Center, library and downtown learning center.
This aggressive investment anticipates a renaissance around Iowa's new cultural showpieces. It recognizes that our cultural institutions play a high-impact role in economic development, a role clearly articulated in a just-released National Governor's Association Center for Best Practices Issue Brief, and spelled out in specific strategies identified in Imagine Iowa 2010: A Cultural Vision. Imagine Iowa is the work of hundreds of Iowans.
States are now embracing cultural strategies to give them a competitive edge in the New Economy. Iowa has taken the steps to capitalize on its bold cultural vision. Culture is no longer a frill. It is fuel. It generates billions of dollars in economic activity, attracts people and business, revitalizes communities and is at the core of a quality education. The non-profit arts industry produces $36.8 billion a year in the national economy, a figure that does not include the for-profit cultural industry. In Iowa, the for-profit sector represents large industries, from publishing to advertising. Iowa must increase its population to be prosperous. Our economic future is tied to the location preferences of workers who can choose to live anywhere they'd like.
.................................................
Lawton chairs the Wisconsin Arts Board, and was recently invited to represent the states’ interests on an exclusive National Arts Policy Roundtable convened by Robert Redford and Americans for the Arts at the Sundance Preserve last fall. Their policy recommendations, forthcoming, will address the topic “Thinking Creatively, Working Globally: The Role of the Arts in Building a 21st Century American Workforce.”
.................................................
As communities and cities capitalize on their heritage and historic buildings, they create a magnet for cultural tourism, the number one draw of the giant baby boomer population, which stays longer and spends more money at cultural attractions than the average tourist spends at other attractions.
.................................................
In an unprecedented collaboration, the two constitutional officers invited members from a broad crosssection of the business, arts, and education communities. The Task Force will accept expert testimony from others in public forums to be held around the state.
The arts are now beating sports in the race for the disposable dollar. In fact, the performing arts now outdraw sporting events and movie houses. According to the Bureau of Economic Analysis, consumers spent $9.4 billion on admissions to performing arts events in 1998, $2.6 billion more than admissions to motion pictures and $1.8 billion more than total spending on spectator sports. Iowa has launched a major cultural volley by putting $200 million in the bricks and mortar that house cultural programming. Now Iowa must secure that investment by bringing those facilities to life. We must invest in the programming that makes these new institutions relevant and assure that our existing cultural organizations that continue to enrich our community’s everyday are not left behind. We must launch an aggressive cultural tourism program that invites people of all ages to enjoy the rich heritage we have in cities and towns across Iowa. And we must invest in our cultural workers, the idea people, who will generate the raw materials for the businesses and jobs we have not yet dreamed of. 11 VUE : : ISSUE 151

LiL WAYNE THA CARTER III
New York, NY – From the streets, to the stage, to radio, video and cyberspace, Cash Money/Universal Motown hip-hop superstar Lil Wayne is today the indisputable ruler of 2008. Tha Carter III, universally acknowledged as the mostanticipated release of the year, has already been opening the record book and rewriting it daily, as four different advance tracks have created a one-man traffic jam at the top of the charts. The album’s kick-off single, “Lollipop,” featuring the late singer and songwriter Static Major, has turned out to be the smoothest of smooth moves, piling up over 100,000 video streams a day in its first week on YouTube alone. The digital track rocketed to No. 1 in iTunes’ Top Songs. iTunes also features a remix of “Lollipop” featuring Kanye West, and “Got Money,” featuring T-Pain, as well “A Milli” and an edited version of “Got Money.”

New studio album for Victory Records
The band has grown exponentially as musicians
After plenty of drama and tragedy, Hawthorne Heights have confirmed earlier reports that they would be releasing their next album on Victory Records. The album and band were held back for the past while due to suits and counter-suits launched by the band and label over the past twelve months. Label boss Tony Brummel commented: Everyone at Victory is ecstatic about the forthcoming album from Hawthorne Heights. It is by far their best material to date.
For Jonas Brothers, the last year has been all whirlwind, all the time. Yet somehow, on the road to becoming a pop culture phenomenon, the trio never broke a sweat. And since the release of their 2007 self-titled platinum CD, Kevin, Joe and Nick have used their time wisely. As they prove on their new Hollywood Records CD, "A Little Bit Longer," Jonas Brothers have grown exponentially as songwriters, musicians and recording artists.

Fragile Future
A Little Bit Longer
Lil Wayne has a total of five tracks on the iTunes Top 100, more than any other artist. One week before album release, a fourth advance track was made available, “You Ain’t Got Nuthin” featuring Juelz Santana and Fabolous. On MySpace.com, Lil Wayne became the first artist ever to attract 100 million page views. The “Lollipop” music video has been in top rotation on BET, MTV, MTV2, FUSE, MTV Jams, MTV Hits, MTV Tr3s and Mun2. A full complement of taped and live appearances is scheduled for the week of album release. Anticipation for Tha Carter III has been running at a fever pitch for a full year, as Lil Wayne has emerged as hip-hop’s most recognizable and in-demand lyricist. His collaborations and step-out performances have sold over 50 million copies on albums by such artists as Destiny’s Child, Chris Brown, Lloyd, Fall Out Boy, and Enrique Iglesias to name a few. Lil Wayne says it best, Tha Carter III, is truly “The album I was born to make.”

The Pines have been gaining international buzz since the release of Sparrows in the Bell and a solid showing at this year’s Folk Alliance and SXSW music conferences. The British music magazine Q gave the record 4 out of 5 stars and named it one of the best roots albums of 2007. The album is a dark mix of americana and folk styles that paint a barren landscape of loneliness, love and a longing for home. Sparrows in the Bell captures their full, haunting sound and deeply rich lyrics that make The Pines stand out among the heap of young bands in the music scene today. Whether they’re playing with a full band or as a duo, The Pines put on the type of show that is talked about for weeks afterward. For more information call 563-584-9712 or visit www.180main.com.

"Blue Velocity" debuted to cheers from critics and radio alike, receiving rave reviews in Hittin' That Note Magazine and Blues Revue, as well as charting on XM's Bluesville and being featured on the nationally syndicated Blues Wax. As an appropriate follow-up, Duarte busts out of the gate hitting the road fast with furious nightly performances across the Southeastern U.S., before heading off to a prestigious appearance in Russia. After that, he's back to the
States with shows across Florida and westward through Texas, followed by shows in the Southwest, including Utah and Wyoming. The summer months see him hopping the pond for another European stint before hitting the East Coast. Before another trip abroad, this time to Italy, Duarte hits the Midwest. One thing is for certain, whichever the city, no matter the venue, and whatever the season, Chris Duarte live is an experience you won't soon forget.
AUGUST EVENTS:
CHRIS DUARTE
CONTINUES TOBLAZE THROUGH THE SUMMER SETTING THE MIDWEST AFIRE WITH HIS SCORCHING RIFFS BEFORE SETTING HIS SITES ON ITALY.
Atlanta-based blues guitarist/bandleader Chris Duarte is preparing to hit the Midwest as part of his 2008 tour. Blazing through the heat, the blues shredder heads north as his tour hits month seven. Beginning in Ohio and moving on to Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan, CDG brings the blues to the homeland before heading back overseas at the Hub, Cedar Falls, Thursday, August 28.08
A
Duarte is currently touring non-stop throughout the US and Europe in support of his latest CD release "Blue Velocity" (Shrapnel/ Blues Bureau International Records) which was recorded last April at Sun Prairie Studios in Cotati, California. Produced by Shrapnel Records Founder and Hard Rock impresario Mike Varney (Yngwie Malmsteen, Richie Kotzen, Vinnie Moore, Jason Becker) "Blue Velocity" marks Chris Duarte's fifth album release. This album was the swan song for band members Dustin Sargent (bass) and Damien Lewis (drums) who left the group shortly after this album was recorded. Like Duarte's previous effort "Romp", his most
recent 11 track endeavor showcases his eclectic taste in music and desire to incorporate multi-cultural influences, many of which are derived from Duarte's real life experiences throughout his career. His recent tour with famed Japanese blues artists Bluestone Co. left an indelible mark on Duarte, who welcomed writing contributions from the band's Toshihiro Sumitomo and Monji Kadowaki on two of the tracks "Out in the Rain" and "I'll Never Know". These bluesy rock numbers, while adding a unique flavor, manage to blend seamlessly into the record and add the perfect complement to Duarte's original tracks. -continued right

FORBES HIT LIST
In Pictures: Hollywood's Best-Paid Actors
Big-screen bombshells might get blockbuster billing, but it's Hollywood's men who are raking in the big bucks. As a group, Tinseltown's 10 best-paid actors out-earned their female counterparts over the year ending June 1, 2008, according to Forbes magazine's list of the highest-paid names in Hollywood. Forget the Angelina Jolies and Jennifer Anistons-the big paydays are going to Will Smith and Johnny Depp. Just take a look at the top actors' estimated haul for the year, according to Forbes.
According to Forbes, stuidos earned $14.73 for every $1 Vince was paid in his last three films. The list also considers DVD revenue. Here’s the complete listing of Hollywood stars who rockeed impressive returns for every dollar they were paid for a role: 1. Vince Vaughn - $14.73 2. Tobey Maguire - $13.44 3. Julia Roberts - $13.19 4. Brad Pitt - $12.73 5. Naomi Watts - $12.16 6. Matt Damon - $12.16 7. George Clooney - $11.56 8. Jennifer Aniston - $10.48 9. Hugh Jackman - $9.90 10. Ben Stiller - $9.50
1
$80 million A star who turns out blockbuster after blockbuster, Smith pulled in a gross of $585 million with his thriller I Am Legend, more than half of it overseas. When he takes a rare risk, as in his drama The Pursuit of Happyness, his films still make bank. He's keeping this summer warm with his anti-superhero flick Hancock.
Johnny Depp
2
$72 million He became an unlikely mainstream star with his boozy turn as Captain Jack Sparrow in the Pirates of the Caribbean series. Last year he found time to star in his pal Tim Burton's movie version of Sweeney Todd, which grossed $154 million at the global box office. He earned his Best Actor Oscar nomination for his portrayal of the demon barber of Fleet Street.
Eddie Murphy $55 million
3
The publicity-shy star turns out profitable family films in which he plays almost every role. Despite horrendous reviews, last year's Norbit grossed $160 million. Now in theaters: Meet Dave, in which he plays an alien.
Mike Myers
4
$55 million Myers spins franchise characters-Wayne Campbell, Austin Powers, Shrek-into cultural catchphrase machines and commands big bucks for his animated roles. Shrek the Third earned him nearly $50 million.
Leonardo DiCaprio
5
$45 million He's the unique movie star who can get $20 million for work in R-rated adult dramas. His films (rarely blockbusters) attract attention during awards season. Three of his last five were nominated for Best Picture.
Bruce Willis $41 million
6
This year Willis proved there's a market for old action heroes. He resurrected bluecollar cop John McClane in Live Free or Die Hard, and it grossed $380 million. Coming next year: sci-fi thriller The Surrogates.
Ben Stiller
7
$40 million Last year's The Heartbreak Kid was one of Stiller's worst-performing films, bringing in only $37 million in the U.S. That didn't prevent big salaries for the forthcoming Night at the Museum 2 and Tropic Thunder.
.....................................................................
Will Smith may be the HighestPaid Actor in Hollywood, but Vince Vaughn offers the most bang for movie bosses’ bucks. Vince has topped Forbes Magazine’s Star Payback list, which calculates the average return a star provided on their last three movies.
Will Smith
.....................................................................
THE TOP SQUAD
.....................................................................
LACEY ROSE
Nicolas Cage
8
$38 million Cage filled theaters with Disney's surprise hit sequel to National Treasure, Book of Secrets. It grossed $450 million worldwide. He also produced and acted in a gangster film, Bangkok Dangerous.
Will Ferrell
9
$31 million Ferrell remains ones of the most reliable comedians in Hollywood despite the poor box office performance of his latest film, Semi-Pro. He also founded a usergenerated video Web site, Funny or Die.
Adam Sandler
10
$30 million The Saturday Night Live alumnus does both goofball shtick and serious films like last year's Reign Over Me. Also he's producing an updated version of the 1970s classic The Gong Show for Comedy Central.
Collectively, the big screen's leading men took home an estimated $487 million between June 1, 2007, and June 1, 2008, compared with the leading ladies' haul of $244.5 million.
