Who is your Favorite Actor?

I just thought i'd start up a neat thread...

Im sure there will be some interesting answers

I have two favorite actors...

First is Ian McKellen. One of the most amazing careers spanning over 5 decades. Hes played such infamous rolls as Gandalf in lord of the rings, and magneto in the Xmen films. I've seen many movies hes played in and never once have i seen a poor performance... In truth he is an incredible actor

Heres a great clip...



The second i'd like to mention is Johnny Depp. One of the most versatile actors in history, i don't believe there is a part in any movie he could not play brilliantly.

Heres a clip from one of my Favorite movies...



LOL...

So tell me, who is your favorite actor?

Two off the top of my head would be probably Don Cheadle and Jason Bateman

That looks like a good movie...

I might have to check it out.

Robert Deniro for his older movies like Casino, Goodfellas.

Joe Pesci as well, he has been in many great movies previously mentioned and in Home Alone.

Johnny Depp brings just the right amount of wierdness with an undertone of menace to his roles (Fear & Loathing in L.V being my particular fave of his)

Natalie Portman also does it for me on screen, her wicked smile is does things to me..... Very sexy and great performance in 'Closer'

hmmm either george w bush or obama.

I am going to assume you just messing with me.

Anyway, my favorite actor is Yoa Kazuki

myanimelist.net...

Though i don't know if you'll find him funny unless you can speak Japanese(which makes it ten times better). Though., just with subtitles he is hilarious. You cant help but love the brightness he brings to every performance.

i was really surprised. i was expecting a never back down type deal but it was a very well put together movie with some drama and a LOT of action. the usage of real mma fighters and a couple ufc guys gave me a feel of authenticity like it was a true story. also there are some military scenes that touched me as i have a brother over seas right now and just gets you thinking.

Jason Statham, Seth Rogan and Jonah Hill

In terms of ability though, Don Cheadle is amazing

Simon pegg + Nick Frost, hilarious duo!

Jack Nicholson has to be up there in the top 10 for me. Sometimes funny, sometimes scary, sometimes sorta....hot (did I really just share that?)

And Leonardo DiCaprio. (Also hot)
2 actors who, IMHO, get better as time goes by.

Thought both were great in The Departed. But then so was Mark Wahlberg (sorta hot too)...and Alec Baldwin (kinda ...hot...too)...good dialougue in that film. Good deliveries.

And in agreement with you, Bonkrh, Tom Hardy is one to watch (if people haven't been already).

And he's hot too

Hugh Jackman!

Hugh Jackman

There is no man hotter.....Wolverine.....Drover....Oh goodness, I am panting as we speak!

LOL!

Three words.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman
