Favorit Actors
I did a quick search, but didnt come up with anything, so here goes. Mods, and admins...you know what you're doin.
So who's your favorite actor? I've got a few: Leonardo DiCaprio Ghassan Massoud Christian Bale (Yeah, yeah, he has a temper...) Russel Crowe (Him too...) Johnny Depp Peter O'Toole Michael Rennie () I think that's it. Anyone else?

Favorite actors
There's just no doubt these actors here are among the most gifted actors on the screen in one capacity or another 1. Tom Hanks = superior acting in almost every motion picture he starrs in 2. Matt Damon = a really cool guy 3. Scarlett Johansson = hot and intelligent 4. Robert Redford = great old school 5. Leonardi diCaprio = also a cool guy 6. Johnny Depp = wicked, mad and insanely funny 7. Brad Pitt = street smart 8. Edward Norton = awesome acting, always with a twist. 9. Colin Firth = brilliant British 10. Alan Rickman = another brilliant British 11. Kevin Costner = cunning

Edward Norton brings a different character to the screen every time he's on one. He is one of a group of actors that do not behave in a static fashion (ahem, Reeves?).

Paul Newman . I am referring to Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, in which Paul Newman and Robert Redford starred together.

Ah yeah that guy.. I can't say those old movies ever had me interested. The exception are two classics, Lawrence of Arabia from 1962 and the Bridge On the River Kwai (1957)

LOL not the actor! I have no interest in Paul Newman whatsoever
I'm saying I like the movies. And these actors.. Peter O'Toole, Alec Guiness and Omar Sharif.

Ah yes, me too. Incidentally, Alec Guinness never missed an opportunity to star in something from David Lean. So you can see him in Doctor Zhivago as well.
I don't really care all that much about Paul Newman, but I'm just saying he was better than Robert Redford. Tom Hanks is a good actor too, but saying you like him is like saying you like George Washington or Beethoven. A big DUH

I actually don't like Beethoven's music very much. He has a few nice pieces, but it's a bit... noisy I'm more into Mozart and Tchaikovsky=)

And Tchaikovsky isn't noisy, right? (1812 Overture) Have you heard his Serenade for Strings? That's my favorite work by him, ever.
It's actually the exact contemporary of the 1812 Overture. Tchaikovsky said that while he disliked writing the overture and didn't put his heart into it, he poured every ounce of his being into the Serenade. Hmm, I wonder if there will ever be a Tchaikovsky movie... But they'll probably choose someone off-kilter to play him. Benicio del Toro maybe.

Yeah, there's some loud music from him too. But it's not noice, it's majestic. He seems to be able to infuse a story into all of his works. Brilliant chap
I saw the Nutcracker this Christmas actually. Got my entire family to go lol. They all liked it=) who doesn't

Top 3:
Alan Rickman Sean Connery Michael Caine Closely followed by: Robert De Niro Liam Neeson Cary Grant Henry Fonda As far as women go... Audrey Hepburn Frances McDormand Ellen Page Natalie Portman Sigourney Weaver I'm digging Sean Biggerstaff, too, but I'll have to see some more of him before I'm completely decided. And I'm sure there are plenty I've forgotten. One is never entirely prepared to have to answer this sort of question on the spot.

+1!
Awesome screen presence. I find that most new actors/actresses are just plain average, none really impress. If I recall any talented enough to mention, I will post them up.
