Your 3 favorite performances from your 10 favorite actors

Tools    





In no order as Im figuring out who my top 10 actors are as I go along.

I know who would be #1 though.

#1 Anthony Hopkins




Hopkins played Richard The Lionheart, his first role. Broke his shoulder in the jousting scene, and finished the movie, all the while going back to England every few days to do a play. He was Oliviers understudy.





I have to return some videotapes...
1. Christan Bale:
American Psycho
Fighter
and Machinst

1. Christan Bale:
American Psycho
Fighter
and Machinst
you got 2/3 correct

Wasn't a HUGE fan of his performance in teh machinist, or the movie itself.

I really liked him in his smaller movie roles like Harsh Times, Public Enemies, and the always hilarious Reign of Fire.

I'd probably say...

American Psycho
The Fighter
Harsh Times
American Hustle
TDK Trilogy
Public Enemies
The Prestige
Out of the Furnace
The Big Short
Reign of Fire
The Machinist

and much much much muuuuuuuuuch lower......

Newsies.

#3 Robert Downey Jr


Though RDJ has been able to just "phone it in" to play Tony Stark, that in itself was all it took to invigorate a falt character o the popularity of Wolverine & Spider-Man. Good luck doing that -insert any actor name here-
