Most interesting actor to watch onscreen

Benicio Del Toro is definitely the most interesting actor to watch onscreen. Every single role he's ever taken on has been totally individual and he makes a character what it is. It's not often you get an actor who can play so many movie roles differently and with such intrigue. Let's face it, all his character's are so memorable and he basically out-acts anybody he's in a movie with. Any one agree or get where im coming from?

(Yes i am aware i have just posted this discussion topic in the wrong frickin forum!)

Benecios good, even if he hits the cocaine hard, but I prefer Jack Nicholson.

true. jack's characters are always memorable i suppose, but i wouldn't sleep with him, unlike benicio!

Is this suppose to be who you'd sleep with or who was the most interesting to watch?


As far as the title of your thead goes...there are quite a few actors who are interesting to watch onscreen...not just one to take THE most title.

For now...here's a few...

Meryl Streep
The Hours (2002), The Bridges of Madison County (1995), Sophie's Choice (1982)

Emma Thompson
Love Actually (2003), Sense and Sensibility (1995), Much Ado About Nothing (1993).

Bill Murray
Lost in Translation (2003), What About Bob? (1991), Scrooged (1988), Ghost Busters (1984), Tootsie (1982), Caddyshack (1980)

Johnny Depp
Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl (2003), Ed Wood (1994), Edward Scissorhands (1990)

Alan Rickman
Love Actually (2003), Hary Potter Series, Galaxy Quest (1999), Sense and Sensibility (1995), Truly Madly Deeply (1991).


And there are many from the classic era that are far more fasinating to watch than the actors of today, like...

Bette Davis
All About Eve (1950), The Little Foxes(1941), Jezebel (1938).

and so on....

There must be one who's every performance catches your attention?

Gary Oldman, never ceases to amaze me.

Those two i Love Actually? R U takin the piss?

Are you asking if Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman are both in Love Actually? Yes, they are and they play a married couple.

Could you please explain "R U takin the piss?" I'm not sure what U R saying.

i was commenting on the fact that u thought those two played good memorable roles in Love Actually which i think is total bull!

Del Toro is good… but definitely not the most or only interesting actor to watch onscreen… others have already been listed but I would add Johnny Depp, Daniel Day-Lewis, Robin Williams, Robert de Niro, and Tom Hanks… just to name a few of the more interesting male actors…

And you would sleep with Del Toro based on what? His looks? The characters he has portrayed?


I sincerely hope you are not another newbie who thinks that their opinion is the only one that matters and that anyone else’s is bull…

Thanks Cait...and I completely agree.

Carissima...everyone is entitled to their own opinion as you are yours. So you don’t agree with me...so what? That doesn’t make my opinion bull. Please...don’t insult me again.

Klaus Kinski

Come on! Christopher Walken!

I sincerely apologize to you all, im sorry if you thought i only cared about my own opinion, sometimes i get a bit carried away. I do respect all your opinions and shall contain my excitement about BDT!

Sorry guys.

xxxxxxxx

Thank you Carissima. I really appreciate your apology. We all can get excited about actors/actress we like, so don’t feel like you have to contain your excited about BDT. I just didn’t think this was a thread dedicated soley to him, and that you were honestly asking who we all felt was fasnating to watch. If you wanted to have a thread exclusively about him, you can always make another one and title it more clearly. There are plenty of threads people have made to talk about a certain actor or director.

Thanks again and no hard feelings Carissima.

Listen guys, sorry if i confused anybody, but yes, this thread is about the actor of your choice, so go ahead.

I agree with both of those Alan Rickman also makes an excellent baddie (Die Hard and Prince of Thieves).

I could not agree more
