PRO: He executive-produced HBO's John Adams miniseries, earning a record-breaking 13 Emmys. This summer, he'll reprise his role as horribly maned symbiologist Robert Langdon in The Da Vinci Code sequel Angels & Demons.

CON: It's been years since he made a live-action comedy. Can't somebody reteam him with Hooch?
