Who do you think are the three most "natural" screen actors.

[Cyrano]

By "natural," I mean an actor who seems like some regular human being who just wandered in off the street and got the part because it seemed to fit him.

My top three picks are: Kevin Spacey, Morgan Freeman, and Tom Hanks.

(I'm not excluding actresses. I'm just picking my personal "bests.")

Who are yours?



On edit: I don't post to the DU Lounge very often, so if this post is repetitive, stupid, or anything else annoying, please let me know.

On edit, edit: Never mind. Just found out there is an entertainment board. -- Thank you for all the help.

3. Samuel Jackson, Robert Mitchum. So what if there is an entertainment

board, its not visited as much as the lounge. You are posting it in right place. Good thread.

4. I'll take your Kevin and Morgan, and add Anthony Hopkins and Judy Dench

I know that makes four, but too bad.

[Cyrano]

16. Anthony Hopkins said that his favorite American actor is

Harrison Ford because, "He doesn't really need the lines. You know what he's thinking just by looking at his face."

5. robert duval...

best american actor. morgan freeman is pretty damn good too. ed norton is young, but he's pretty good too.

i don't get impressed by too many actresses. i find a lot of the big names to be kind of wooden.
