A list of Directors and actors that are involved in Thrillers

I thought it would be a good idea to write up a list of actors and directors that have been involved in thrillers thus far.


Actors:

Tommy Lee Jones ,62(Enemy of the State, Valley of Elah)
Awards: Academy Award, Golden globe, screen actors guild and Emmy

Matt Damon, 38 (Bourne Trilogy)
Awards:

Nicole Kidman, 41(The Interpreter, Dead calm, Bankok Hilton)
Awards: Golden Globe , MTV Movie, Berlin International Film Festival

Denzel Washignton, 53(De ja Vouse, Inside Man)
Awards: Golden Globe, Academy Awards

James Stewart, 89(Anatomy of a Murder)
Awards: Academy awards





Thriller Directors:

Steven Spielberg, 61(Encounters of the Third Kind, Minority report)
Awards: Academy awards for best director, Academy awards for best movie

D.J. Coruso, 43(Eagle Eye, Disturbia, Two for the Money)
Awards:

The Coen Brothers, 51 and 53 (No Country for Old Men, The Man Who wasn't There)
Awards: Academy Awards for Best Screenplay, Direcor, picture and editing.

Stanley Kubrick, died aged 70 (The Shining)
Awards: Golden Globes, Baftes, Oscars

Riddly Scott, 70( Hannible, Matchstick Men)
Awards: BAFTAs, Emmys, Golden Globes

From this information I can conclude that acting in thrillers isn't a young man's game generally because the average age of these A-list thriller actors is 50 years old. May be because thrillers usually have loads of puzzles to solve they need wize minds to solve them. The directors are of senior age but it seems that to get to the global market most of them need this experience.
