William
Petersen

To
Live
and Die in
L.A.
Director: William Friedkin
1985
| He is, quite simply, one of the finest and most underrated of contemporary actors. In movies since 1981, he has somehow never appeared in a blockbuster, never been designated by People magazine as a "Sexiest Man Alive," and a lot of people don't know who you're talking about if you drop his name into a conversation -- which we do frequently. Come to think of it, there's a lot of fine actors that most people have never heard of, and that's pretty much what this site has been about from the beginning. | ![]() |
