[bmac]

and as far as actresses are concerned, they always seem like sluts to me, so I generally hate them.

Looking over some actresses I like, I find that Natalie Portman, Meryl Streep, Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews, and Kate Hudson aren't exactly "sluts" to me. In fact, most actresses aren't sluts to me, I just don't have a favorite. There are a select few who are risque and love to party too much, and due to that, they get more publicity and give actresses a bad name. Is this why you hate all female actors?

</feminist rant> :o

I just see enough actresses who seems to enjoy showing off their breasts etc. a bit too much. you know, the ones who make millions as "actresses", but still can't act to save their life! the sell their bodies, not their talent. I know I'm generalizing, but that's ok.

While that may be true, it's usually just at red carpet things, and unless you have a very high neckline, it's kind of hard to cover those things up for some people haha. I guess it's just a difference of opinion, but I see plenty of female celebrities who aren't relying on their bodies to make them famous...they rely on their talent. Men don't have this problem, so it isn't fair that you can say most actresses are famous/make money only because they show off their bodies. Sorry if I seem like I'm arguing, just bringing up some points for people to think about..not trying to start a fight :)

[BloodDrift]

I like the guy who plays Hurley in Lost

[LarsA81]

Actor: Johnny Depp
Don't know about the actresses...

Lars.

[Simen]

Johny Depp rules. He was so extremely funny on "Pirates of the Carribean"!

[Trollface]

Johny Depp, Samuel L. Jackson, Robin Williams, Mel Gibson

[IronGuardian]

I saw Anne Hathaway tonight in Devil Wears Prada. I rather quite liked her.

[Jared]

John Wayne by far.
There are definately better actors, but none are as great as John Wayne

[Rami Airola]

Here's a list I wrote nearly two years ago. I could drop few names out of the list but naah... won't do it.


GABRIELLE ANWAR
I watched the 1993 version of The Body Snatchers and got very interested...
Things to Do in Denver When You're Dead is also great.

PATRICIA ARQUETTE
She was in one of my childhood's favourite movies, Nightmare on Elm Street 3.
I used to have a thing for her... Yeah, I was about 9 years old back then.
Don't ask why this movie was one of my favourites.
Don't ask why I liked her.
By the way, her teeth are attractive. Weird, huh?

BRUCE CAMPBELL
Ash battling against the army of darkness.
This guy really does have a great sense of situation comedy.
His appearances in Hercules and Xena proves it.

ANDY GARCIA
If I was gay, I'd cover my walls with his posters.
Since I'm not gay, I don't have the guts to do so.
(I need to do something very masculine and straight stuff after writing this...
You know, real men can't say anything good about the looks of other men without being all gay and weird)

SHERYL LEE
Laura Palmer in Twin Peaks -Fire Walk with Me.....
She's fantastic when she's acting a hysteric and freaked out character.

VESA-MATTI LOIRI
Uuno Turhapuro.
My favourite from Finnish actors.
He has such a great skill to time and rhythm what he's saying perfectly.
He is maybe the best comedian I know.

BILL MURRAY
He's the best in acting self-centered and arrogant characters.
Funny guy.

VINCENT PRICE
When I was just about 6 years old, whenever I heard his name I thought the word horror and whenever I heard the word horror I thought Vincent Price.
Quite impressive.
He is Horror.

KURT RUSSELL
Ignore the old Disney stuff and you'll have the most entertaining actor alive.
Well, those Disney films were quite entertaining also... so... well... uh...
Kurt is the man.
The Thing, Big Trouble in Little China, Escape from New York, Escape from L.A., Dark Blue.........
I adore his overdone portrayal of Snake Plissken.

RAY WISE
Leland Palmer. What more could I say...

[Sutekh]

I'll be a biaeed Aussie here and go for Cate Blanchett. Classically trained (check her out in Elizabeth), discerning in choosing roles, and above all, that chameleonic ability to disappear into her character. The fact that she doesn't hang out in the Hollywood star system is a bonus -and doesn't hurt her work, either!

[Candi]

My favorite actors would be Mel Gibson and Johnny Depp...

Favorite actress would be Reese Witherspoon....

[RycheNNole]

Cary Grant
Harrison Ford
Ewan McGregor

Debbie Reynolds
Mary Stuart Masterson
Reese Witherspoon

[stepcousin]

Ive always liked Robin Williams since Mork & Mindy. Jim Carrey and Mel G. are a few more I like.

Fave Actress, probably Sandra Bullock 'cuz she's good at just about any type role and she is never in the tabloids except for maybe in some dress at the Oscars or something. To me thats a big deal, I am so sick of all those women and guys plastered on the front of the tabloids(you know most of whom Im talkin' about.).

[phylum lepidoptera]

Ed Norton
Christian Bale
Kevin Spacey
Russell Crowe
Guy Pierce


Natalie Portman(I think that's her name)
Jennifer Connelly

Man...how did I forget Jennifer Connelly? Her attractiveness is forever etched on the inside of my retinas. :cool: :electric: :headbang:

[godsrockess]

I think Anthony Hopkins is the greatest actor of all time.

[Nemo]

Ellen Burstyn

Just for her performance in Requiem

http://youtube.com/watch?v=yHCVHqty5QE [10 minutes long total] (doesnt really get to her dialogue until 1:58 and to her dramatic performance at 4:50)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=i3OK0KgXjmk [4 minutes] (ONLY her super dramatic performance that almost got her an award)

http://youtube.com/watch?v=_OokobNB6IY [10 minute long]- Ellen Burstyn's performance progression through the whole movie (no dialogue, only music; but you can see her range, if you want; SPOILER I guess)

[mrsbates]

Marlon Brando, Geogre Raft, whatshisname the guy who was in the Maritx and Elrond, Humphrey Bogart
