People you are happy are famous

There have been plenty of people who get famous for awhile, and my reaction to their fame is just "WHY?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?" Like, why the hell is this person famous? Who decided that my existence must be saturated with this person's face and retarded quotes every day? What the hell is wrong with the world? I think I did a thread about this once, a long time ago, on the IMDB board.... I started thinking about this once when, within a very short period of time, I was subjected to multiple magazine covers, celebrity "news" headlines, and probably online crap too, dealing with the Kardashians, Paris Hilton, Jessica Simpson, and maybe a few other idiots. It got me thinking, who are some people that I am simply happy are famous, who make me think "yeah, OK, this person deserves to be famous, or just SHOULD be famous because of some personal quality they have that they didn't even have to work hard for." They could be famous for any reason, these people I'm going to list do not necessarily have much in common. It could just be something about their sense of humor, just anything about them that makes you think "i'm glad they're famous," or maybe even "I think they should be even more famous."

Who are some people that you think of, in this context? I'll start a list.

--Kurt Russell
--Dennis Quaid
--Justin Timberlake
--Christina Applegate
--Eddie Murphy
--Sacha Baron Cohen
--Jason Lee
--Christopher Walken
--Paul Rudd
--Judy Greer
--Bill Paxton
--Michael J. Fox

Anybody got any others?
