Ginnifer Goodwin

Ginnifer Goodwin plays the character who most needs the advice of He's Just Not That Into You. Gigi waits for the phone to ring and concocts reasons to "run into" people she's waiting to hear from. Of course there's a Hollywood ending, but Goodwin had to play the now she would be okay," Goodwin said. "That is what we always see in movies, and that is what I find incredibly boring That’s what was so refreshing about this script.


As Gigi learns to stop overanalyzing things and read the common sense signals, the film is careful not to force its lessons on the audience. "The script is so balanced. It’s so subtle. I don’t think that the message could have been so powerfully imparted if it wasn’t so subtle, because life is subtle and that’s what makes it so relate-able.

The 30-year-old star - who broke up with actor Chris Klein in December (08) following a two-year romance - admits she has had some miserable times as a single woman Goodwin reveals that she often falls for men who don't reciprocate her feelings - and embarrasses herself by continuing to pursue them She says, "I humiliate myself on a daily basis and... I have often gone after the wrong fellas, I have often chased people who are not calling me back and making excuses for that, and I thought it was time that we, you know, get these messages out there.

Judah Friedlander

Judah Friedlander is unmissable—you’d perhaps see him wearing trucker’s hats and oversized glasses that fail to cover up his scruffy appearance. He makes it a point that his roles would have such a look. The comedian, born on March 16, 1969 in Gaithersburg, Maryland, started out as a soundman for Chris Rock’s 1989 short, Who is Chris Rock? It was only ten years later when he finally appeared in front of the camera, starring in episodes of the short-lived sitcom LateLine.

Friedlander’s most prominent television role, however, is as Frank Rossitano in the NBC sitcom 30 Rock. Like in most of his roles, his trademark look is evident in every episode that his character is in, complete with different slogans on the trucker hats that he wears, most of which he coins himself. He is the most prominently featured writer of the show-within-a-show TGS with Tracy Jordan (Tracy Morgan), after protagonist Liz Lemon (Tina Fey). He is often portrayed as childish, lazy and libidinous, and always makes fun of and pulls pranks on his colleagues.

Friedlander has also performed stand-up routines across different venues in New York and Los Angeles. One of his more popular schticks involve him making outlandish claim of greatness in any imaginable aspect. Fans of the Dave Matthews Band may also know him as the “hug guy” in the band’s music video for Everyday he appeared in many other films. Some of these include Meet the Parents, Wet Hot American Summer, Zoolander, American Splendor, Along Came Polly, Starsky and Hutch, Date Movie, Live Free or Die, Full Grown Men and Meet Dave.
