The Verge: Laura Ramsey

In Middle Men , Laura Ramsey plays a woman who parlays an ignoble beginning (selling sex on the internet) into a lucrative business, and in some ways, it’s a fortuitous match of actress and character. Ramsey, too, paid her dues in productions she’d probably rather forget (like MTV’ s reality flop The Real Cancun ), but she’s since built a promising career as an actress, with notable appearances in projects like The Ruins, The Covenant , and Mad Men. She called up Movieline to talk about fake online profiles, and donning a sailor hat for Sofia Coppola.

Within the past two years, Ellie Kemper has gone from a regular UCB performer to a series regular on The Office with a book deal and feature film roles in Sofia Coppola’s Somewhere and the Kristen Wiig-penned Bridesmaids .

Sam Rockwell on Cowboys and Aliens and Partying with Costars

It’s safe to say that Sam Rockwell and Jon Favreau enjoy a very good working relationship. Favreau gave the actor an uncredited role in his directorial debut Made , considered him to play Tony Stark in the original Iron Man , then let Rockwell do the bulk of Iron Man 2’s scene stealing as Stark’s rival Justin Hammer. At Comic-Con, Movieline spoke to Rockwell for a little while about their newest collaboration: Favreau’s sci-fi western Cowboys and Aliens .

The Debt Trailer: Sam Worthington May Not Age Well

John Madden’s long-shelved thriller The Debt cuts between its main characters in two distinct time periods, which allows the film to indulge in my favorite game: “What will these actors look like when they get older?” According to the new trailer , Jessica Chastain turns into Helen Mirren after thirty years, which is not a bad deal at all. How about Sam Worthington, though?
