24. Chris O'Donnell
- Date of Birth: 26 June 1970
Chris O'Donnell doesn’t get enough credit for his run as Robin; he brought all his heart, energy, and sold some of the goofier scenes (yes, even the laundry one). His bond with Alfred was a highlight, and he handled the mix of action, emotion, and camp like a total pro. | © Freestyle Releasing
23. Meryl Streep
- Date of Birth: 22 June 1949

17. Wentworth Miller
- Date of Birth: 2 June 1972

- Date of Birth: 26 June 1997

6. Jason Momoa

- Date of Birth: 1 June 1937
Morgan Freeman has one of the most recognizable voices in the world, and yeah, he is probably the best narrator alive.

1. Johnny Depp
- Date of Birth: 9 June 1963
Johnny Depp completely disappeared in Jack Sparrow, offbeat, unpredictable, and weirdly magnetic, like a pirate stumbling through a Rolling Stones music video.
