She returned to TV to play a doctor on 'ER' from 2008 through 2009 and was the voice of Michelle Obama on 'The Simpsons' in 2010.

Answer: Ghosts Of Mars

Statham's character and his police team were on Mars to transport a prisoner (played by Ice Cube). Unfortunately, most of the folks in the remote mining town where he was being held were gone or possessed by Martian ghosts. When a possessed person was killed, the ghost just found another human to inhabit, so it was hard to escape them. Statham was born in London in 1972.

He had his first action, acting role in 1998 and hasn't slowed down. He's starred in 'Transporter' movies (2002, 2005, 2008 and 2009), 'Crank' (2006) and 'Crank: High Voltage' (2009).

He was in 'The Italian Job' in 2003 and 'The Expendables' in 2010.

Answer: Halloween II

His part was so small, most people don't even recognize him. 'Halloween II' took up later the same night as 'Halloween' (1978). Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) had gone to the hospital and Dr. Loomis (Donald Pleasence) was looking for Michael Myers. A news crew was reporting on the incidents and Carvey's character was an assistant on the crew.
Carvey is probably best known for many appearances on 'Saturday Night Live' from 1986 through 2000 and 'Wayne's World' (1992).

Answer: Once Bitten

Jim started on TV in 1980 and in 1985 he starred with Lauren Hutton in 'Once Bitten'. Lauren was a beautiful youthful-looking vampire Countess that needed the blood of a virgin male to remain young. Finding an eligible virgin in Los Angeles seemed to be impossible until she found Jim Carrey's character.
Carrey has made a number of movies including 'Ace Ventura' (1994, 1995), 'Liar, Liar' (1997), and 'Bruce Almighty' (2003).

Answer: Highway To Hell

'Highway To Hell' was a horror comedy about a couple on their way to Las Vegas to get married. On the back roads, the bride-to-be was taken to hell and her husband-to-be must find and save her. At the end, Satan agreed to let the couple go if they could beat Hell Cop in a race.
Ben started out on TV in 1986. He's moved back and forth between TV and film pretty consistently. He's probably best known for 'Zoolander' (2001), 'Starsky And Hutch' (2004), and 'Tropic Thunder' (2008).
