Valentine Pelka -- He is an excellent actor, both on screen and on stage, a jobbing actor, but given how convincingly he's portrayed sociopaths to sweet teddy bears, I think it's a shame he's never become bigger, even just in the UK.
Sean Bean -- Yes, he's a pretty big name, but he's always almost, but not quite cracked the US market. The closest was with LOTR, but most of his roles since then have been either as the bad guy, or small British productions. He plays a great villain but he does a very good hero as well.
Keeley Hawes -- She's fairly recognizable in the UK after being in Spooks/MI-5 and a few other things, but I think she has the talent to be even more successful worldwide.
Hrithik Roshan -- Okay, so he's one of the top 5 Bollywood actors, so he is pretty huge star-wise, but I would love to see him in a huge Hollywood blockbuster, so everyone could enjoy his gorgeousness. *g*
Lenora Crichlow -- She's still young, so has a lot of opportunity to make it really big, and I hope she does. She's incredibly pretty and natural with it, and has great screen presence and talent.
Yes, I do seem to pay more attention to non-US actors...*g*
Yeah, I've been a Sean fan ever since he first appeared as Sharpe. I'll have to keep an eye out for that...it may come on over here. (They've just started showing some HBO shows).
He is just so multi-talented...and I could watch him dance for forever! *g*

I love Sean Bean, and I'm really excited to see him in Game of Thrones on HBO.
And Roshan is definitely on my list of "gotta use 'em for a PB someday" people. *L*

Oh, just a bit! A couple of songs from Dhoom 2 (which did a lot to inspire Party Prince Daniel *g*) with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan. Such fun songs:
