Your Top 10 Favorite Actors

Re: Your Top 10 Favorite Actors

Kudos for Jason Bateman but there's more wood in that list then my trousers.

Re: Your Top 10 Favorite Actors

I also like Bruce Willis and Justin Timberlake, but they can't beat Jason Bateman. :D

Re: Your Top 10 Favorite Actors

Remember I said favorite, not best. (#3 isn't better thhan #7 for instance)

10.
Hugh Laurie (Best Role: House M.D.)

Seriously, I mean he's friggin' House.

9.
Ron Perlman (Best role: Hellboy)

Genius casting of a bad ass character. And to anyone that has seen the made for TV movie Despertion, this guy is scary *****.

8.
Heath Ledger (Best role: The Dark Knight)
http://www.batman-movie-buzz.com/upl...r-d3xjfbwm.jpg
Yes, I'll admit it, wasn't a big fan even after he died. That all changed after seeing TDK, I mean he seriously owned the role.

7.
Al Pacino (Best role: too many to count)
http://images.askmen.com/galleries/m...-picture-2.jpg
Any man that can make screaming an actual form of dialouge into everyone of his movies deserves a spot.

6.
Robert DeNiro (Best role: even more than Pacino's to count)
http://images.askmen.com/galleries/m...-picture-2.jpg
Is there a more iconic actor around? Team him up with Scorcese and you've got a great movie. Yes, better than Pacino.

5.
Harrison Ford (Best Role: Indiana Jones)
http://www.news.com.au/common/imaged...5769612,00.jpg
At the beginning of the year I had seen NONE of the Indiana Jones movies. But after a long discussion with John McClane and Yoda threatening to ban me, I watched all of them. I've seen all of them about 5 times.

4. Jimmy Stewart (Best Role: It's a Wonderful Life)
http://www.nndb.com/people/659/00002...rt-3-sized.jpg
It's a Christmas tradition to watch IAWL at my house, great movie. It's why I'm sad I didn't put much thought into my top 100 films.

3.
Seth Green (Best role: Robot Chicken)
http://gaygamer.net/images/sethgreen.jpg
I know I've lost a little respect with this one, but hear me out. Seth Green is just a Star Wars geek who made it big, now he has his own highly rated fan loved Tv show where he pretty much does any skit he wants. That's good to me.

2.
Edward Norton (Best Role: American History X)
http://www.latinoreview.com/news/ima...ted_Veil_5.jpg
Has any new actor exploded on the scene and get like a bajillion awards in 5 years? Thought not.

1.
Aaron Eckhart (Best role: The Dark Knight)
http://images.eonline.com/eol_images...ron.092706.jpg
Seriously, I mean Heath owned the Dark Knight, but any man who can make the rom-com No Reservations enjoyable, plus everything I've seen with him in it deserves the top spot.

Re: Your Top 10 Favorite Actors

Honorable Mention
Kevin Smith (Anything he's directed)
http://www.comicbookmovie.com/images...evin-Smith.jpg
The only reason that he's not on the list is because I consider him a better writer than actor.

I was actually really surprised that he ended up as my #1. He's just so popular that it's gotten to the point where I think a lot of people dissmiss his incredible acting because their sick of all the press he gets, ya know? But I started thinking and I have loved him in literally everything I've seen him in.
Thelma and Luise- couldn't have found a more perfect man for the part, True Romance- my favorite stoner, made me laugh out loud in every scene he was in, Interview with the Vampire, Se7en, Sleepers, Fight Club, Snatch, Ocean's 11, Babel, The Assasination of Jesse James by the Coward Robert Ford, Burn After Reading, even his guest spot on "Friends" was one of my favorit episodes. The list just keeps going.

Re: Your Top 10 Favorite Actors

Random order (as it's too hard for me to have them in a certain order):

Shia LaBeouf,
Denzel Washington,
Michael Biehn,
Viggo Mortensen,
Chevy Chase,
Will Smith,

David Carradine,
Elijah Wood.

Re: Your Top 10 Favorite Actors

you get big ups for this one - I'm not sure why I like him so much, but I'm def a fan as well.

EDIT: I take that back. He always did the really good terrifying bad guy, but when he showed up in Spy Kids movies and did the scary but crying uncle bit, it was cute, and I liked that he doesnt take himself so seriously that he cant poke fun at his own "bad boy" image. Also, I can never forget the "I'm a MexiCAN,"in Once Upon a Time In Mexico.

A madly pursuit it seems to be, really. Some actors are brilliantly talented and some movies are wonderfully built up. Still my own list will be a painfully limited one. I still love to watch a few of the films named in the list. Please look at the list:

1. Laurence Olivier
Othello of Stuart Burge

2. Richard Burton
Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? of Mike Nichols

3. Charlie Chaplin
Limelight of Charlie Chaplin

4. Montgomery Clift
The Misfits of John Huston

5. Alec Guinness
The Bridge on the River Kwai of David Lean
6. Soumitra Chattopadhyay
Apur Samsar of Satyajit Ray
7. Mel Gibson
The Road Warrior of George Miller

8. Charelton Heston
Ben-Hur of William Wyle

9. Paul Newman
The color of Money of Martin Scorese

10. Benoît Magimel
La Pianiste of Michael Haneke

10. Steve Buchemi
9. Marlon Brando
8. Jim Carrey
7. Humphrey Bogart
6. Robert De Niro
5. Clark Gable
4. Jack Nicholson
3. Gene Hackman
2. Vinnie Jones
and the number 1 is....

1. Nick Nolte
