Who is your favorite actor and actress?

[Shell Beau]

I love Jack Nicholson, Sean Penn, and Al Pacino
I love Meryl Streep, Cate Blanchet

I'll think of some more I am sure.

[RandomKoolzip]

1. Bill Murray, Alan Arkin, Kim Stanley....

I'm stuck.

[Shell Beau]

2. Yeah I got stuck too after I started thinking too hard.

I should have waited to post! Oh well!

[BOSSHOG]

3. Paul Newman and Geena Davis

Cool Hand Luke, The Verdict, nobody does it better than Newman and no one lights up the screen like Davis (A League of their Own, The Fly.)

[Shell Beau]

4. Geena Davis hasn't been in a movie in a while.

She had twins not too long ago. Sure that has a lot to do with it.

[Richardo]

10. She's going to be President of the US on some upcoming TV show

Woo!

[bertha katzenengel]

9. And "The Long Kiss Goodnight"

graphically violent, quite sexist, but god, so entertaining

[grace0418]

42. My brother played her boyfriend/fiance/husband in that.

I can't remember which it was. He was in the beginning and in the end.

[bertha katzenengel]

47. Tom's his name?

He was good. Tell him that from me. :hi:

[grace0418]

53. Yep, I'll tell him.

:)

[BillZBubb]

5. De Niro and Swank.

[Shell Beau]

7. Two great actors.

I forgot to mention Gene Wilder and Gene Hackman. They are great too!

[bertha katzenengel]

6. Jessica Lange, Dustin Hoffman, Tommy Lee Jones, Mariska Hargitay

Marg Helgenberger, Angelica Houston, Annette Bening, John Cusack (yes, "Grifters" is one of my faves) . . .

oh, hell, way too many to name.

[Crazy Guggenheim]

8. Gary Oldman and Helen Mirren.

[supernova]

11. Need you ask?

<---------- ;-) I daresay he's the world's most beautiful human being.

[Shell Beau]

14. He is great.

I loved him in Finding Neverland and Pirates of the Caribbean. He played one hot pirate.

[mark414]

12. Don Cheadle

the man is great in everything

i really like Willem Dafoe too...

[Shell Beau]

16. He did great in Hotel Rwanda. That movie was so damn sad

and emotional. It pissed me off. But Don is really good.

[stanwyck]

62. Clearly, you're a

brilliant person. Cheadle is also wonderful in "Crash". And I've been a Dafoe fan for years.

[DelawareValleyDem]

13. Glenn Close and Steve Buscemi

[henslee]

24. I met Buscemi and his wife right after the 2000 theft --- boy were they

cranky.

[grace0418]

39. Cranky about the election or just cranky in general?

Even if I didn't already love him as an actor, he has my eternal love for returning to his old firehouse in NYC after 9/11 to help out. How awesome is that?

[Lavender Brown]

15. Kate Winslet, Johnny Depp, Colin Firth, Audrey Tautou

Out of living actors, anyway. Most of my favorites are from the past.

[Richardo]

18. Audrey is going to be in the movie "DaVinci Code"

In a way, I hate that 'cause it will be a blockbuster and she'll go all popular and commercial 'n' stuff.

Plus; she's way more intelligent than the moron character she'll be playing. And so is Tom Hanks; who's playing the male lead moron.

[Lavender Brown]

23. I have avoided reading the book

But I'll probably see it out of curiousity. She is good even when she is playing a scary stalker character. :)

[Richardo]

28. If you've avoided the book, you're ahead of the game

:D:thumbsup:

[Richardo]

17. Kevin Spacey, Bill Murray, Audrey Tautou, Frances McDormand

Are the ones I'll pretty much go to see no questions asked.

[Shell Beau]

20. I love Kevin Spacey. He is good and so is Bill Murray. He is hilarious.

[grace0418]

33. All four of those are on my list!

You have good taste!

[Semi_subversive]

19. James Stewart and .......

[henslee]

21. I live Kate B. but her Hepburn portrayal in Aviator was lame.

[4_Legs_Good]

22. Robert DeNiro and Jennifer Connelly

[Sugar Smack]

25. Kate Winslet, Pam Grier, Tim Robbins...

Robert DeNiro, Frances McDormand, and Jessica Lange!

[Shell Beau]

26. How could I forget

Tim Robbins and Susan Surandon? And while I am at it, Morgan Freeman. They are all great.

[Sugar Smack]

30. Oh, wow,

How could I forget Susan Sarandon as well!

:)

[SnowGoose]

27. Chris Cooper is fantastic.

Maybe you've overlooked him, because he becomes the character so completely, rather than bringing his own persona so much to the front (like, say, Depp - who is *really* fun to watch anyhow, or maybe Jeff Bridges, who's also good, but always more Jeff Bridges than the character, IMO).

I really started to notice the guy in Lone Star. He did well in other flicks, like American Beauty, but his work in Adaptation was so friggin outstanding, he became my favorite actor.

The guy's good.

[kick-ass-bob]

29. Cheech and Chong.

Ha! You all lose.

[grace0418]

31. Actors: Ewan McGregor, Kevin Spacey, Don Cheadle, Johnny Depp...

Anthony Hopkins, Djimon Honsou, Nicholas Cage, Christopher Guest, Jimmy Stewart, Sean Penn, Chow Yun Fat, Philip Seymour Hoffman, Russell Crowe, Joachin Phoenix, Bill Murray, Tom Amandes... there are more but I'm blanking...

Actresses: Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep, Sandra Oh, Judy Dench, Parker Posey, Cate Blanchett, Frances McDormand, Scarlett Johannson (sp?), Toni Collette, Audrey Tatou, Sophie Okonedo... again, more but I can't remember right now.

[Shell Beau]

32. Pretty good list you have there!

[grace0418]

35. Thanks, although I should've read other people's list before

I wrote mine. There were a few that I missed.

[Shell Beau]

37. I missed a lot!

[billbuckhead]

43. Lena Olin,Anne Heche,Susan Sarandon,Natalie Portman,Kristin Bell

Gerard Depardieu, Harrison Ford, Scott Bakula, Jude Law, Warren Beatty

Lotsa of good ones.

[grace0418]

34. Steve Buscemi!! HOW COULD I FORGET?

He's absolutely on my list.

[Shell Beau]

36. Yes he is great. He plays one helluva psycho!

[Richardo]

38. "Keep it down back there, lady or I'm gonna have to, y'know, shoot ya."

I heartily concur about Buscemi.

[Sugar Smack]

48. "HEY! I was bangin' that girl!"

One of my favorite Steve Buscemi lines from Fargo.

God, how I love him!

[Richardo]

49. "Total silence. See how *you* like it smart guy. Total fuckin' silence."

:D

[Sugar Smack]

51. "Pancakes?!? OK, we'll go get laid and then we'll get some pancakes."

:D

[Richardo]

52. "No." That's the first thing you've said in the last four hours."

"That's, a fountain of conversation there, buddy. That's a geyser."

[Sugar Smack]

56. "And I'm going to shoot your wife, and I'm gonna

line up your lids and shoot' em in the backs of their pointy little heads!"

[DaBigBadJoiseyWolf]

40. Nina Hart

[Shell Beau]

41. Who is that and what did she play in?

[ghostsofgiants]

44. Edward Norton and probably Kate Winslet

[DaBigBadJoiseyWolf]

45. Shell..she is a pornstar, but is an abcolutely beautiful woman!

[4_Legs_Good]

46. Photo???

[DaBigBadJoiseyWolf]

50. Shell...I don't want Joisey Wolf, to get tossed out like the Alley Cat did

[mvd]

54. Probably

Jim Carrey (I love comedies,) and Natalie Portman (she's beautiful, and even made the stiff Queen Amidala likable.)

[Hand]

55. Hey! Nobody listed Adam Sandler!

...including me. This is a good thing. :evilgrin:

[SoCalDem]

57. There's NO ONE that I would pay money to watch

:)

[mvd]

58. Hehe.. true - it just seems like many movies I like have..

my favorites in them.

[SoCalDem]

59. We have a DVD player still in the box.. We got it in 2002

Too lazy to try and figure out how it works:)

[tjdee]

60. Shah Rukh Khan, Adrien Brody, Jamie Bell.... and Julia Roberts.

I like a lot of actors very much, but those four are the top tier.

Not even necessarily for the quality of their acting. I don't know that my "best actor" list would be the same as my "favorite actor" list.

Ooh, and here's another chance for me to post a picture of Shah Rukh:


:loveya:

He's got mad skills.

[swag]

61. Actress: Esther Balint (on the basis of "Stranger than Paradise")

Actor: Leo Fizpatrick (on the basis of "Kids")


leo fitzpatrick


richard edson (first drummer of Sonic Youth) and Esther Balint

"boy you just a stupid bitch
and girl you just a no good dick"

[swag]

63. Reading the question another way,

[stanwyck]

64. Frances McDormand, Sean Penn

and many already mentioned.

[maveric]

65. De Niro, Chris Cooper, Steve Buscemi, Thora Birch...

To name a few.

[Lannes]

66. The legends get all the attention

So Ill name some relatively new faces.Mos Def and Scarlett Johansson.

[Liberalynn]

67. Julian Mcmahon for actor

Jill Hennessy for actress.

I watch TV far more than I go to the movies so that's why my choices are small screen based.

All though I am going to go see Julian in the Fantastic Four as Dr. Doom this summer and will go see him in any future films. I wish he would go for the romantic comedy for a change though. I want him as a hero, for his next film choice. His bad boys with a tender side are really fun to watch but it would just be cool to see him play a complete true blue for a change.
