詹姆士.史都华James Stewart(Jimmy Stewart)
在他的早年，Jimmy Stewart就已经定型为普通人的角色。他结结巴巴的发言，长腿长手，都给大多数的美国人一种十分亲切地感觉。但是他也从来没有慌慌张张地把事情搞砸过，而在他逐渐成熟之后，也开始担纲比较热情的角色。他后期的角色，常常因为痛苦而变得憔悴而不是糊涂。尽管如此，他依旧以邻家男孩的形象闪耀在银幕上，也以这样的形象被后人熟识。
好莱坞总是把很多小事大力包装纸后满街褒奖。”吉米曾说，“我不会被这种做法所影响，但是太多的褒奖总是让人飘飘然。”
你知道Jimmy Stewart曾经演过一部音乐片吗？在他呆在米高梅的日子里，人们还没考虑好到底应该把他定位成什么风格的角色。这里有一张他和Eleanor Powell出演《为舞而生》（Born to Dance, 1936)的海报。
