With television taking over for film as the creative center of Hollywood, more and more huge stars are signing on to small-screen projects.

We've already seen Halle Berry, Matthew McConaughey, Glenn Close, Kevin Costner, Laura Dern, Kevin Spacey, Viola Davis, and many more movie stars on TV shows. Well, that list just keeps getting bigger.

For fall 2016, cinema's leading men and ladies Anthony Hopkins, Isabella Rossellini, and Dermot Mulroney join talent from TV's past golden ages (Ted Danson, Sarah Jessica Parker, Kiefer Sutherland) for the next season's roster of talent.

Here's a look at the 21 biggest stars of this year's fall TV season:
