Ron Livingston

Believable as a hero or a cad, this handsome actor should have gotten his big break as one of the buddies in the testosterone-driven indie Swingers, but he was upstaged by his costars, including a young Vince Vaughn. Ultimately his career took off when he embodied an unmotivated employee in the 1999 anticorporate comedy Office Space . Although the film wasn't initially a hit, it became a cult favorite around the time Livingston began popping up on the small screen, including recurring parts as… Show more a zealous prosecutor on The Practice and a commitment-phobic novelist on Sex and the City, and his Golden Globe-nominated turn as a real-life paratrooper in the lauded WWII miniseries Band of Brothers . Livingston continues to expand his repertoire, from supporting parts in impressive indie features ( Adaptation, The Cooler ) and feature films ( The Time Travelers Wife ) to starring roles on the small screen, including a plum assignment as an FBI hostage negotiator in 2006's  Standoff  and as chief engineer in the 2009 space thriller Defying Gravity . ~ Rovi
