Names I recognize from the list, because those photos are not of particularly recognizable faces. The ones at the top of the list are initial signers, noted as such because they were putting themselves at more career risk when the list first went live. Below with commas are additional signers I recognized. NB: below is a heavily biased list because i'm generally bad at names and mostly recognise western names I've seen a lot in the particular shows and movies I've watched.
Alyssa Milano
Benedict Wong
Brian Eno
Debra Winger
Javier Bardem
Josh O'Connor
Lena Headey
Mark Ruffalo
Mary Elizabeth Winstead
Rob Delaney
Samuel West
Susan Sarandon
Tatiana Maslany
Tilda Swinton
Emma Stone, Peter Sarsgaard, Elliot Page.
Massive respect to everyone on the list - particularly the younger signers in the early stages of their careers, because they're all risking future jobs in the industry to speak out for an important cause. Many have more to lose than others.
