He was pretty good in 3rd Rock From the Sun having a comedic role as an alien. The first time I saw John Lithgow as an actor was in The Twillight Zone: The Movie. He was so convincing in that role, I loved it. I also really liked him in Footloose, 2010: The Year We Make Contact, Harry and the Hendersons, Raising Cain, Cliffhanger, The Pelican Brief, Rugrats In Paris: The Movie, Orange County. Recently I started watching the 4th season of Dexter(a TV series).

Kate Mara born on February 27th 1983 in Bedford, New York.
Mara's favorite Giants game was when she was asked to sing the national anthem in honor of her grandfather, Wellington Mara, who died in October 2005. Mara has regularly sung at home games and season openers of the Giants since about the age of 15 or 16 when her uncle asked her to fill in when they couldn't find a singer. She has also sung at a couple of Steelers games. She sang the national anthem at the 2006 NFL season opener, dubbed the "Manning Bowl," where the Giants played the Indianapolis Colts. Mara's singing was featured in the film The Californians. She sang the national anthem at the last game played by the Giants at Giants Stadium in December 2009.
I recognize her most from watching the show Nip Tuck, the movie Stone of Destiny and Iron Man 2. Kate has stated that she comes from a "huge" family. Her father was one of 11 children. Kate has 22 aunts and uncles and 40 cousins. She lives in Los Angeles, having resided there on and off since around 2003. Her younger sister, Patricia lived with her temporarily after relocating to Los Angeles in 2007. Kate travels back to New York when her schedule allows and has stated, "If I could live in New York, I would", specifying that she likes "the cold... the rain" and "misses it". she also stated that she likes "not needing plans" in New York. Kate tries to spend the football season in New York when she can. She dated producer and director McG with whom she worked on We Are Marshall. In July 2008, she was linked to Stone of Destiny co-star Charlie Cox.
