Author Topic: Who is your favourite Actor / Actress Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-18-2009 02:29 PM                     Gary Oldman The man portrays a character in such a way that you cannot realise if he is acting of if its really Gary Oldman! Al Pacino No comments needed Liam Neeson After Schindlers' List I was so mesmerised by Liam Neeson acting.  |  IP: Logged Robert E. Allen Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1078 From: Checotah, Oklahoma Registered: Jul 2002 posted 11-18-2009 03:11 PM                     I agree with you about Liam Demetris. But I'd have to add Dustin Hoffman and Robin Williams. My two favorite actresses are Sandra Bullock and Meg Ryan. Am I allowed 2 or 3?  |  IP: Logged Demetris Thoupis Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1240 From: Aradippou, Larnaca, Cyprus Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-18-2009 03:23 PM                     No limits.

Alan Rickman  |  IP: Logged Tim Reed Better Projection Pays Posts: 5246 From: Northampton, PA Registered: Sep 1999 posted 11-18-2009 04:44 PM                       I always liked Johnny Depp after I saw "Ed Wood". Christopher Walken. Steve Martin is a favorite as well. They're all very versatile players. All-time favorites are John Wayne, Burt Reynolds, and William Boyd (Hopalong Cassidy). Billy Bob Thornton dropped off my favorite list long ago, however, because he's such a weird-ball in real life. That has a retroactive effect on his screen presence, in my eyes. Fellow native-Kentuckians Harry Dean Stanton and Ned Beatty are on my list of favorite character actors, as are William H. Macy and George "Gabby" Hayes. Actresses I'm too busy swooning over to note their acting abilities: Ava Gardner, Teri Garr, Rene Russo, Christina Ricci, Elisabeth Shue, Jennifer Connelly.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-18-2009 05:14 PM                        Actors: Tom Hanks Dustin Hoffman Actresses: Meryl Streep Sandra Bullock  |  IP: Logged Mark Ogden Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 943 From: Little Falls, N.J. Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-18-2009 06:03 PM                     George Clooney is a huge talent. In both serious roles like Michael Clayton, and in comedic roles like O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Irreconcilable Differences, I have never not enjoyed his stuff. Close behind: Anthony Hopkins and Daniel Day-Lewis. I think Meryl Streep is unarguably the leading actress of her generation (although if Charles Everett is still reading these forums, he just had a stroke). Again, never a bad performance that I've seen. I love looking at Kate Winslet and Chloe Sevigny, and Tilda Swinton is a fine actress too. Also, there's an obscure British comic actress named Anna Quayle that cracks me up in everything I see her in.  |  IP: Logged Bobby Henderson "Ask me about Trajan." Posts: 10973 From: Lawton, OK, USA Registered: Apr 2001 posted 11-18-2009 06:14 PM                     I've never been one to be a fan of a particular actress or actor. More often I'll follow the work of certain directors. The best ones tend to also find or attract the best acting talent, not to mention best writers as well. There's so many good actors/actresses out there, many of them "undiscovered" because they haven't been given a good enough role to show off what they can do. To pin things down specifically, I do like Anne Hathaway for some odd reason. Maybe I just find her really beautiful. She's the only reason why I watched The Devil Wears Prada all the way through when it played on HBO.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.

Rip Torn is the great under appreciated actor of our times Philip Seymour Hoffman is the modern Rip Torn (though more appreciated). Both Torn and Hoffman have been great in awful movies.  |  IP: Logged Mike Blakesley Film God Posts: 12767 From: Forsyth, Montana Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-19-2009 11:49 AM                        Agreed about Rip Torn. He is excellent. Did you see him in "Coma?" He totally rocks in that movie even though it's a fairly small part.  |  IP: Logged John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia.
