Profiles in Unintentional Comedy: Who is the Leonardo of our age? A case could be made for Steven Seagal, albeit a rather weak one, since on the surface, he appears to be a dilettante and a talentless hack.

To learn more about this Buddhist king of comedy, or to buy any of the aromatherapy products available through his online store, visit his official website.

The List:
Top 10 Movies
of Kevin Bacon
Kevin Bacon is a fine actor whose two turns playing pedophiles–in The Woodsman and Sleepers–show that he doesn't shirk controversial roles. The Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon parlor game is as much a tribute to his solid body of work as it is a pop phenomenon.

1. Mystic
River
2. Sleepers
3. The
Big Picture
4. Animal House
5. JFK
