Who are your favorite actors?
« on: February 03, 2012, 06:25:43 pm »
You have two choices. I'll give you two because I could never narrow it down to one. Two is infact hard enough.
I'm talking about their professional work and the characters they portray, but if you approve of or like their personality in reality thats a bonus.


My number #1


Pete Postlewaite
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000592/

I was sad to see he died recently(ish), he did a stunning job in Alien 3 and Brassed Off and in the Sharpe series.
He is not my favorite because he did many great films, he is my favorite because the few he did he did extremely well.

2#

Ian Mcklellen


I would say this is hard, but for the superb actor I am awarding this too. Sir Ian McKellen. My favorite role of his was as Chauvelin in 'The Scarlet Pimpernel'.
He did many many many other things, most notably probably is The Lord of the Rings.

Sir Anthony Hopkins

Seen here on the set of The Worlds Fastest Indian
Only actor I know of that can casually deliver a line about eating someone's brain.

Robin Williams



I adore this guy. Good Will Hunting, Mrs. Doubtfire, RV... he's my all time favorite actor, hands down.

Christian Bale, ever since I saw The Prestige, Batman Begins, and The Machinist in rapid succession, and was blown away by his transformations between those movies in such a short time frame.

Maybe people should love for the sake of loving, and not with all of these optimization conditions.

The only person who comes close is Edward Norton.

Honestly, I don't know who this is. Short search revealed he is either a protestant writer in the 17th century or someone who was in some way involved in Indiana jones, though I couldn't find where.

Intriguing, more info?

Ah. Sorry, according to Wikipedia his full name is Richard Bernard Skelton. I think Skelton might have been his actual last name, and Bernard his second, which I got switched up, thus the confusion.

Surely it's got to be Leslie Nielsen.

And don't call him Shirley.
