favorite Favorite Actors

Will Smith, DeNiro, Al Pacino, Brad Pitt, Jackie Chan, Johnny Depp, Edward Norton, Matt Damon, George Clooney, Robin Williams, Harrison Ford, Samuel L. Jackson, Ewan McGregor, Sean Connery, Natalie Portman, Emma Watson, Pauley Perette, Hayden Panettiere
 
Christian Bale, Edward Norton, John Cusack, Al Pacino (Frank Slade alone would put him in my list), really like Joaqin Phoenix, i'd always liked Heath Ledger but never more than that until his Joker just blew me away, Anthony Hopkins, Cuba Gooding Jnr, Bruce Willis, I'd have loved to have seen where Brandon Lee's career went after The Crow, Clint Eastwood, Steve Buscemi, big fan of Kevin Costner (guess i'm the only one?), Johnny Depp, Mr De Niro, Sean Connery (just having the moxie to tell the world you think its okay to slap a woman if she gets out of line when your a major movie star, brave brave man lol - disclaimer...i dont think its okay to hit women but i love that he doesn't care :P ), Ewan McGregor

I can be pretty influenced by one great performance, if an actor can really move me with a role i could watch over and over again i couldn't much care what other turkey's they've done.

As far as actresses go i'm not too sure, funny people rarely ask you for your favourite actress. I really like everything i've seen Rachael McAdams in, Scarlett Johansson does it for me but that may nothing to do with her acting skill, Thandie Newtons good too.

If i had to say a favourite it'd prob be Christian Bale overall, everything from Empire of the Sun to American Psycho to Dark Knight he can't miss for my particular taste.

In certain circles among the industry, the term 'actor' is genderless. I've always been annoyed at the term 'actress'...

It annoys me when people say, 'she's a great actress.' To me, it should be, 'she's a great actor.'

This is another topic for another thread...It's just interesting to me, because I've had several discussions with actors about this...

Sarah...back on topic...you'll notice I threw in a relatively equal ratio of male and female actors.

lol - it annoys me a bit too - for whatever reason 'actress' seems diminutive to 'actor' to me... to me actor is a person who acts - genderless, however ironically, since it is something that many people differeniate, I do label myself an actress on my website for that very reason....

Yes, it's true that it differentiates. I'll give it that. But for the most part, if I don't have to differentiate, I'll use 'actor' to describe both male and female.
 
Correct, it is genderless. The actor is the one who acts. Just like the actor of a crime is the person committing the crime.

But yeah, let's not get derailed :)
