Most interesting actor to watch onscreen

I would like to disagree, but I can't.

Christopher Walken perfects every single role he is in.

He's simply the best.

You know? I really really agree with you. When given great material, Bruce Willis just OWNS.

Pulp Fiction, 12 Monkeys, Sin City...He's just dead cool.

I just The Stranger on the Third Floor (1940) which many people say is the first film noir. I really enjoyed it and Peter Lorre is always fun to watch.

M, Casablanca, Arsenic and Old Lace and The Maltese Falcon are 4 great movies where he steals the scene whenever he is on camera.

I might get flamed for this, but I think Jude Law is an absolutely incredible actor. It's a shame, his personal life and his status as an uber-celebrity totally overshadow the work he's done.

People think he's a just a pretty face. But take his roles like MacGuire from Road To Perdition: yellow teeth, rough skin, long fingernails, balding. he was truly creepy and he held his own with Paul Newman and Tom Hanks. MacGuire is one of my favorite villains ever.

Daniel Day-Lewis is another one. Let me just say that Bill The Butcher IS my favorite villain of all-time.

What about Terrence Howard? I think he's incredible on screen.

James Stewart has always been a personal favorite of mine and I have yet to see a film of his where he was anything less than great. He just has that every man feel to him, which makes everything he does more real and alive. It also helped that he teamed up with Hitchcock every so often to put together a masterpiece.

Two that come immediately to mind are-
Anthony Perkins:


Though he never really had the opportunity to do much with his career, I can't help but be enchanted by the guy every time he appears on screen. Most notably, for me, in Catch-22 (1970). But I think Orson Welles' interesting attempt at an adaptation of The Trial (1962) shows how his appeal can carry an entire film.



And the other one that comes immediately to mind, don't ask me why, as this seems as arbitrary to me as I'm sure it will to anyone who reads it, is Mark Lester. Not in general, he didn't really act much, but just in Carol Reeds' Oliver! (1968).


I mean, he's absolutely mesmerizing. You can not, for one moment, take your eyes off of him.
I was at times absolutely baffled at the emotions his basic likeness brought out in me. I didn't know if I wanted to adopt this kid or marry him or what.

Of course, I agree with a few of the ones already posted as well. These are just my own two cents, I guess.

Great choice on Perkins, especially in The Trial.

I'd have to say William H. Macy. Not only does he seem to just fall into the characters he plays, but he always looks like he's having great fun playing a role. I've never seen him play a dull or unbelievable character.

it's all opinion and arbitrary, I'd say... except that that kid is strangely gorgeous. There's no debating that.

ha!! Ok, I can see where that would mitigate your response to the other kid.

Benico Del Toro, Johnny Depp, Charlize Theron, Nicolas Cage and Michael Keaton (I really like Michael Keaton)

Bleh, horrible movie, horrible performance. Worst SNL graduate since Horatio Sanz.

Yeah, no idea who Horatio Sanz is. But Anchorman's definitely Ferrell's best film in my mind.

Mickey Rourke outcooled Bruce in Sin City.
