For the most part, the above list comes from television performances. In the movie category there's Cillian Murphy, who played Scarecrow in Batman Begins. He has played a woman before, which says something about his powers of adaptation. I assume he can also lose his overseas accent if need be, which tends to increase staying power in a finicky business. David Tennant would also be superb on this show. If the name is unfamiliar, you're clearly not a fan of Doctor Who. The Scotsman played has been playing role for about three years and after some upcoming telefilms will be relinquishing the TARDIS. Right now, in addition to his Who work, he has some professional theatre roles.
All of these suggestions are moot if there is not a second season of Dollhouse. Granted, I can think of another network which can easily make room on its schedule though. Still, a back-to-back time slot with Fringe would make for wonderful viewing.
Like this show? Feel free to write FOX executives and tell them so. Purchases of the season 1 DVD will also make an impression. Twitter all your friends and remind them of Dollhouse and watch your favorite episodes online.

Alpha (Tudyk) wasn't kissing Amy Acker's character. He was kissing Eliza Dushku's character (Echo). And to be honest, that scene didn't make me chuckle. It made me think how fast that situation could escalate (ala, Sierra) and thus, a little uncomfortable. But for a show about using "shells" of people, I've always expected to feel slightly uncomfortable... and it's a relief, when put up against the generic shows on TV lately.
As for the "reveal" about the remaining Doll, there's been a lot of talk about why Topher would program them to hate him. I really don't think that line was meant to be taken literal. I see it as the "Doll," possibly remembering who they were before they were a Doll, and making it clear to Topher that they hate him for what he's done.
Of course, none of this will be answered until a season two (pleeeeaaassseee!) but overall, the second half of this season was simply amazing. It definitely had some faults, but all TV shows do, and for a first season... I was pretty blown away. The best thing they did was take the focus purely off Echo and made it more of an ensemble piece. But anywho, nice review.

actually he kissed Amy acker in the beginning. I didn't find it ammusing but he did. It was a little wierd because they were making out while she was sitting on some other guy's lap. They had lights flashing and it was brief. i think it was a couple of times and her hair was in the way but they did kiss.

Oooh. I thought you were talking about when they were in their Doll states, and he was continuously pecking Echo, before his Handler told him to watch his step. My bad!
