Who Are You Favourite Actors and Actresses?

[Abnegation]

There's always a paticular character that stands out in our eyes when it comes to film or in fact sitcoms. But what it takes to make a great character, is a great actor/actress. Without them, they would never come to life.
So, who is your favourite actor or actress? Fell free to name a couple of films or sitcoms in which they appeared in and how it reflects upon your judgement of their acting ability.

Well I love Johnny Depp, and it was pretty much his character Jack Sparrow who made me like him. The Pirates of the Caribbean movies were what really made people KNOW who Johnny Depp is, so I guess it's because of that. If he had never taken the role I wouldn't know or care who he is now. Plus, he plays really eccentric characters. I think a lot of people hold that against him for some reason, but if you think about it, you have to be a great actor to play such strange characters.

I also really like television actors because I watch so much TV. Jonathan Togo is the biggest one, probably. That man must be in movies someday, he's such an amazing actor, but only fans of CSI: Miami would really know that. And in my opinion (because I'm a giant fan of that show...) he doesn't get to show off his acting ability enough on the show, since he has to share screentime with so many other characters. If he ever decides to leave CSI: Miami, I REALLY hope he tries out something else so his fans aren't left with nothing. ^_^

hmm..Gabrielle Union, Matthew Mcconaughey, Owen Wilson...I can't think of many. I just watch the movie and not pay attention to the people who are playing the roles. o3o

I really can't say why I like particular actors except to say that I think they're really good actors from what I've seen and I'll consider seeing movies/tv shows that I might otherwise avoid if one of their names is attached to it.

Spoiler:

Maggie Gyllenhaal (Secretary, Stranger Than Fiction)
Jude Law (A.I., Cold Mountain)
Ron Perlman (Hellboy)
Jonathan Pryce (Brazil, The Adventures of Baron Munchausen, Pirates of the Caribbean)
Rufus Sewell (Dark City, A Knight's Tale, The Illusionist)
Patrick Stewart (Star Trek of course)
Audrey Tautou (Amélie, A Very Long Engagement, Dirty Pretty Things)
David Tennant (Doctor Who, duh)
Bruce Willis (Die Hard, The Fifth Element)

Some actors stick out to me, I have a 'connection' with some actors.
I seem to judge actors/actress(Ill refer to it as actors) by their voice and looks a lot.
I seem to like:
Ellen Paige: She is beautiful and has a great talking voice
Michelle Rodriguez: Whenever I see a film with her in it I absolutely fall in love with the character she plays. She has a nice figure, and I love her voice!
Logan Lerman: Lets not forget the greatest one here! Logan Lerman, although Im not VERY HUGE on him, I saw Lightning Thief and fell in love with the actor(not literally).

Why am I discovering all these threads now? D:

I really liked the old Johnny Depp who was in movies like Blow and I think the Secret Window. I don't really care for his newer roles like, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, Pirates of the Caribbean, and Alice in Wonderland. It just seems like he's playing the same role over and over.

I also really like Samuel L. Jackson. and Morgan Freeman. There is something so distinct about their overall appearance and voices that I really enjoy. They add a distinctness to the movies that they're in that I find so appealing.

 

[Zebeedoo]

My favourite actor has got to be Logan Lerman. He's adorable! Ever since I went to see The Lightning Theif I've fallen in love with him. <3

 

[Uecil]

Oh, no i have so many favs it's not funny. um Will Smith, Samuel L Jackson, Mike Myers, Stephen Fry, Catherin Tate, Whoopi Goldberg, Sasha Baron Cohen

My all time favorite actor has got to be David Tennant.
He is bloody amazing. ^w^
I also love the show that made him famous!
Doctor who!~
And he acts really good in Hamlet to...
And in St. Trinnians 2!
He is the best actor EVAH! >:D

And another actor I really like is Robert Downey Jr.
I've only seen him act in Iron man (I've watched the movie four times... ABSOLUTLY LOVE IT.) And he does a great job too.

I just watched some movies. I think Jim Carrey is so overrated, Adam Samdler is way better than him.

Sam Rockwell

Continues to be in some of the most important films to date, and certainly will have many good eggs in his basket in the years to come.

The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Frost / Nixon
Choke
Moon

And is in the upcoming Iron Man 2.

Clint Eastwood

He's about to enter his eightieth year of being on the planet Earth. Some of his most important work as an actor has been accomplished the past decade. I do believe his existence in Hollywood has been more good than lots. (Sorry for the misstep. I have grammar like Tom Cruise acts.)

The Good, The Bad & The Ugly
Gran Turino
Flags of Our Fathers
Letters from Iwo Jima
Million Dollar Baby

 

[Shiny]

I love Raven, Kirstie Alley, Hayden Panettiere, Queen Latifah, Anna Paquin and Milo Ventimiglia. Just so name afew.

"Clint Eastwood

Major lulz. And here I was thinking that Final Fantasy fanboys failed the most.

Anyway:

Tom Cruise
Christian Bale
Hugo Weaving

Natalie Portman

What's wrong with what I said? Or is it that Eastwood hasn't been in a comic book movie? Ugh.
