So this is the movie where Keanu Reeves tried to transition from Ted “Theodore” Logan to “serious actor”. We aren’t sure who to thank for that. We will say that few names are cooler (or douchier) than Johnny Utah.

Why you should vote for him:
Whoa! Sorry, that’s all we got.

Here is another curious entry on the ballot. Bodhi (Patrick Swayze) was the leader of a surfer/criminal organization, and the sport of surfing was a vital part of the film. Still, the competitive aspect of the sport was not present in Point Break which may taint the chance of anyone from this film entering the Hall. We will say this though; watching Bodhi surf that final wave into an impending end is one of the better cinematic ends to a character on the ballot.

Did anyone look the part of a surfer more than Swayze?
