HOLLYWOODÂ -- Nearly 140 years ago, Jules Verne contemplated the Earth's interior in his novel <EM>Journey to the Center of the Earth</EM>, melding scientific facts and theories of the time with his own fantastical imaginings of what it would be like if people could explore the inner depths of the planet com/i/rt_str-e aspx?c=110553 class="art">Bruce Greenwood, =/celebs/celeb aspx?m=418 class="art">The New Guy</EM>

"There's a stigma that people like me share in doing teen comedies," the actor says "
Amiel compares Eckhart with another actor who's made "the reluctant hero" his signature role: =/celebs/celeb com/i/rt_str-e net/ads/2609/0000002609_000000000000000075438 I just did what Jon told me to do That's been done before -- in the '80s
