Actors who have moved from TV to Film

[redrabbit]

Watching a fairly amusing Netflix movie - Longshot - which has a running gag about not many actors making the leap from TV to movie star status. The joke is that only George Clooney and Woody Harrelson made it.

My list (in under a minute, A Listers only) would include...

Clint Eastwood
Roger Moore
Bruce Willis
Will Smith
Michael J Fox

To my shame, can't think of any women. But only given it 60 secs thought.

Who else?

Peter Sellers
Daniel Craig
Patrick Stewart; sure he was in some BBC Play for the Day type things before a bit part in Excalibur (and stage parts)
Karen Gillan
Pierce Brosnan
Sean Bean
Ewan McGregor
Catherine Zeta Jones
Anna Friel

Good shouts, especially CZJ and Karen Gillan. I agree on all except Sean Bean and Anna Friel. A List evidence please?
