Fave Actor: Johnny Depp

Favorite Movies with Him:

Edward Scissorhands

Christopher Lee can make any role good. He was outstanding in Star Wars, Lord of the Rings and The Man With The Golden Gun.
Samuel Jackson can play pretty much any role well, too. He was great in Pulp Fiction. And pretty much everything else he was in.
Daniel Craig, despite having a relatively short career so far, is great. Layer Cake was great, as was Casino Royale. Can't wait for more Bonds from him.

It's a sad fact that I have seen (and own) more Hugh Grant films than any other actor XD
About a Boy, Love Actually and Bridget Jones's are some favs.

I have also seen a lot of Julia Roberts films, Pretty Woman is a fave, although her characters tend to be the same and there is something about the way she acts taht i dislike...

I love Audrey Tautou in the film Amelie though, and Kate Winslet in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Jim Carrey is also good IMO because even though he plays a lot of goofballs, he can pull off serious roles too such as in Eternal Sunshine.
 
Al Pacino.
Jack Nicholson
Robert deniro
Arnold shwartzenegger (if i spelt that right i am SO impressed with myself)
Robert Carlyle (ok so i KNOW i spelt that wrong)
Bruce Willis - I so loved him in die hard
And Jim Carey just cracks me up

Iv always loved Michelle Pfieffer (sp again) esp since batman returns
And Sarah Michelle Geller (only for buffy tho)
Oh James Marsters *drools* I love him
 
I saw this done on another forum awhile back and I never did get around to making this thread like I had hoped to! Now I finally am! I was watching a movie tonight that has my all time favorite actor in it and decided, hey! I'll go ahead and make this thread now! xD So anyway, tell me, who is your favorite actor and actress and why are they your favorite? Don't just post one-liners of who's your favorite with no reason because I'll just delete your post. So tell me, who is it!?

Actor: Johnny Depp
Why? Because he's the most versatile actor I have ever seen. He's amazing with all of the different roles he can play and pull each and every one of them off with no problem what-so-ever. I have never seen a flaw in this man's acting. From Captain Jack Sparrow, to Edward Scissorhands, to Willy Wonka to Ichabod Crane to Sweeney Todd, it's amazing what this man can do. Even after all the fame he's acquired in his lifetime, he's still laid back, fun and doesn't let it go to his head like some do. Not to mention he's super hot, but that's just an added bonus xD

Actress: Angelina Jolie
Why? This woman is just an awesome actress IMO. I loved watching her as Lara Croft in the Tomb Raider movies. Absolutely amazing. Plus one of my personal favorite movies of hers is Mr and Mrs Smith with both her and Brad Pitt. The woman has style in the acting business and I really admire her.

edit: I didn't realize this thread already existed. I merged them.
 
Favorite Actors:

Johnny Depp - what can I say, he's good eye candy and one hell of a good actor. Jack Sparrow is an amazing character, especially all the quirky mannerisms he has, but there are other fantastic characters Depp has done too; Ichabod Crane in Sleepy Hollow and Sir James Barrie in Finding Neverland (which was superb) being the first to come to mind.

Christian Bale - haven't seen many of his movies, but he's definitely the perfect actor for Batman. And his role in American Psycho, amazing. "HEY PAUL!" Not to mention he's got one helluva body <.<

Will Smith - freaking love this guy. He's been great in every movie I've seen, from comedies like Men In Black and Wild Wild West to dramas like The Pursuit of Happyness. And who can forget the Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire? Pure win.

Takeshi Kitano - amazing actor. I first saw him in the movie Kikujiro, where he's a hardass gambler having to look after a little kid who wants to find his mom. Couple other of my favorites were Hana-Bi, where he's an ex-cop, and Zatoichi, where he's a blind swordsman (and totally not a hardass, he's more like your nice old grandpa in it).

Favorite Actresses:

None. I honestly don't have any.
 
...let's see.

I'm a fan of many actors/actresses. Tom Hanks, Robert De' Niro, Johnny Depp...

At the moment, I'm going with Johnny Depp for my favorite actor. The man is a genius. Ever since I saw him as Jack Sparrow, I've loved him. He did an amazing job as Sweeney Todd as well.

As for my favorite actress...hmm. I'll go with...uh...

Well, I don't have a favorite actress. None stand out to me as being better than the others.
 
Favorite Actor: Jensen Ackles
ive got to say i love this guy, even tho hes not a big movie star yet, hes one of the best tv actors ive ever seen. the humor that he incorperates into his scenes and his lightheartedness makes him a delite to watch. (sry for my spelling) he can portray lots of different people and is very good at making his emotions believable. not to mention hes smokin hott, so if u havent scene supernatural on the cw, go watch it!

fav actress: reese witherspoon
after seeing her in legally blonde, she became my favorite actress. whether shes portraying a character not too serious such as elle woods, or a more serious character such as in walk the line, she always finds a way to pull it off. everytime i watch one of her movies i say, yep another good one. she just nos how to act, plain and simple
 
favorite actors- johnny depp- he is very good as jack sparrow but also as edward scissor hands and ichabod crane.
christian bale- american pyscho, batman begins and the one about the pow
robert de niro- he is great in raging bull and taxi driver, he is intense. also he is great in goodfellas

i cant think of any actresses atm
 
My favorite actress and actor are fairly unknown I think

Ben Browder. - I just think he is soooo good in Farscape. Plus he's in Stargate SG-1

My fav actress be Claudia Black. - Yes the actress that plays Vala Mal Doran - stargate, one of the characters that dies in Pitch Black, voice actor of a char in Steel Angel Kurumi and is also in farscape
 
ahh

Johnny Depp, though i actually haven't seen any of the Pirates movies. All his work with Burton amazes me though.

Beat Takeshi (Takeshi Kitano): Sure there is Zatoichi, and a whole other crap load of great, but for his preformance in battle royal, i cannot forget him.

Chris Patton- an american Anime voice actor, i think he's the best in his field.

Tomokazu Sugita- japanese voice actor, i think he is the best (relatively) new talent there is.
 
Favourite Actors:
Jonny Depp: He's good in everything I've seen him in. Pirates, Corpse Bride, Chocoat, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,
Robert de Niro: Loved him in Stardust! And he was good in Meet the Parents/Fockers.
Hugh Grant: He always plays the same role though... I own Love Actually, About A Boy, Notting Hill, 4 Weddings, Mickey Blue Eyes, Bridget Jones, Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason, American Dreamz, Two Weeks Notice...

Favourite Actresses:
... I dunno if I have any, actually. :unsure: Oooh! Kate Winslet! I've liked her in the films I've seen (Titanic and The Holiday).
