In America today, most kids likely wish for an iPhone or another high-tech goodie for Christmas. But in 1940's Indiana, a certain Ralphie Parker very specifically wanted "an official Red Ryder carbine-action 200-shot range model air rifle with a compass in the stock, and this thing which tells time."

He's also intensely loyal to the actors and actresses he casts. Rodriguez has been afforded this luxury because he shoots and cuts his movies not in Hollywood, but in Austin, at his own Troublemaker Studios. There are a lot of familiar faces in Rodriguez's films (like his sister Tina, who's in four of her brother's movies); here's a list of some of the most notable members of Robert Rodriguez's Acting Troupe:
