Some actors exude warmth right away just by looking at them. There's something about the eyes or their smile which really gives you a pleasant feeling.
Just watched this brilliant actor in Monsieur Ibrahim. It's a nicely written story in general, but what especially sells it is the amount of compassion and understanding Omar Sharif shows with his eyes. He is just like a kind old man who loves nothing more than to talk to young people and tell them his stories and knowledge about life.
I could go on about what makes Gene Wilder a particular standout, but most of all it's his voice. It's so soothing and easy on the ears (except for when he's yelling of course). It almost has a lullaby-esque quality to it.
This probably comes as no surprise, but just because it's predictable doesn't mean he's not worth mentioning. Just like Wilder it's in his voice in particular which speaks to the man's endearing inner qualities. Although he dealt with a lot of psychological issues, his passion for making people laugh or cry always came through.
Ever since Carrie I've been charmed by Sissy Spacek. Nobody could have portrayed the vulnerable beauty better than her. In a world where dimples on women too often are frowned upon, it gave her smile an extra edge of cuteness.
