Answer: Julia Roberts

Roberts, a native of Smyrna, Georgia, landed the part of Erin Brockovich. Erin was a foul mouthed loose cannon but proved to be a very reliable staffer at Ed Masry's law firm. Initially, Ed terminated her employment because he thought she spent too much time having fun but he rehired her after he realized she found documents that could be used in a lawsuit. Initially, the evidence that Erin gathered against PG&E involved a few clients but eventually there were well over a hundred litigants. The lawsuit Erin worked on claimed that, due to PG&E's carelessness, many residents of Hinkley, California experienced serious medical issues due to the water in Hinkley being contaminated with hexavalent chromium. As a result of Erin's work on the case, PG&E paid out over $300 million to many residents in Hinkley and Erin got a bonus check of $2 million for her hard work. Roberts had parts in the movies "Hook", "My Best Friend's Wedding" and "Pretty Woman". In 2001, she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her work in "Erin Brockovich". Other Academy Award nominees for Best Actress that year were Ellen Burstyn for "Requiem for a Dream", Joan Allen for "The Contender", Juliette Binoche for "Chocolat" and Laura Linney for "You Can Count On Me".

Answer: David Brisbin

Brisbin, born on June 26th, 1952, had a very minor role in the film as Dr. Jaffe. In the opening scene, Erin was at a job interview at Dr. Jaffe's office and mentioned that she had experience in health care because she saw nurses give her children cultures as well as provide other services for them. Dr. Jaffe was surprised when Erin mentioned in the interview that she liked geology. Erin told Dr. Jaffe about how she got fired from a previous job since she took time off of work to tend to her ill child because her husband at the time was useless. Erin sported a disappointed look on her face when it looked to her that Dr. Jaffe would not offer her a job at his medical practice. Brisbin landed parts in the movies "Leaving Las Vegas", "Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas" and "The Big Blue".
