Favorite Actors
Original post

Philip Seymour Hoffman - I love his versatility as an actor. He can pull off the funny rolls like when he played Sandy Lyle in 'Along Came Polly', I love the sharted scene and the clearing his throat scene and especially the basketball scene (Rain drop, old school, WHITE CHOCOLATE.) I also like him in 'The Big Lebowski' and 'Twister.' Of course, what he is known for most are his powerful performances. Of course we all know he won Best Actor for 'Capote.' He also did a wonderufl job in 'Love Liza'; '25th Hour'; 'Magnolia'; and 'Red Dragon.' A great actor.
Brian Cox - In my opinion, Brian Cox is the man. Every movie he's in is great because of him, basically. I loved his roles in 'X2'; 'Troy'; 'Super Troopers'; 'Manhunter'; and I really enjoyed his rendition of Hermann Göring in the tv series 'Nuremburg.'
Edward Norton - Of course, another favorite. What can be said? 'Red Dragon'; 'Fight Club'; '25th Hour'; and my personal favorite 'American History X'.
Those are just three among many. Arnold, Chris Lee, Mel Gibson, Jeff Bridges, Ian McKellen, Jack Nicholson. I could go on, but you get the picture.

I've somewhat recently become a pretty big fan of Steve Carell. I first got a taste of his acting in Bruce Almighty and Anchorman. I really 'fell in love" with his acting when I started watching NBC's "The Office." I love that show. Watching it right now actually. I further enjoyed his performances in The 40 Year Old Virgin, Little Miss Sunshine, and Dan in Real Life, among others.

Matt Damon is pretty good. His role in the Bourne trilogy is quite amazing.

(Jason Statham impression, with thick british accent, disgusted look on face)one of my fav actors is Jason Statham, he's a fuckin' badass, and his accent is enough to kick ass in a movie, he doesn't even need to beat people up, his accent does it for him  also one of my other fav actors is Christian Bale, he was great in all movies i've seen him: Equilibrium(the look on his face when he listens to Beethoven is priceless), The Prestige(great performance, if you seen the movie you know what i'm talking about), and of course Batman Begins. Can't wait to see The Dark Knight! only 3 days or so remaining! Written by Clintagräm on 16.04.2008 at 06:28 i haven't paid attention to Good Will Hunting, but the spoof in Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back is pretty awesome! "Well... i guess you're not that good, Will Hunting.. ha ha ha ha!!" Written by [user id=32596] on 10.05.2008 at 18:27 haven't seen any of Gallo's flicks, but i agree Ebert is a bit of an asshole.

Edward Norton is my No1 actor. Actually, the only one who managed to catch my attention. I dont know exactly why, but I really like his acting and all... No matter does he act some idiot or an ass kicking dude, he does it just perfect...

Hmm, among my very favorite i would have to put in Bruce Willis, Brad Pitt (he's great in movies like Se7en, 12 monkeys and Fight Club), Jack Nicholson of course, Anthony Hopkins because of his role of Hannibal Lecter, and that's all i can think of at the moment.

Big list I have, but I'll to make it short: Supporting the original poster - Edward Norton, great actor, he can do pretty much any kind of acting. Bruce Willis, Sir. Anthony Hopkins, Sharlize Theron, Nicole Kidman, Denzel Washington ohh.. I could go one.. lol I'd like to add the little Dakota Fanning from War of the Worlds. At her age, she's already showing great acting skills and devotion to the job. IMO she's better than some well known actors out there.

I gotta go with Brad Pitt. He played one of the greatest crazy people of all time in 12 Monkeys, and his roles in Se7en and Fight Club were also perfect.

I actually haven't seen Snatch :/ I forgot to mention Kevin Spacey. He's awesome in Se7en and The Usual Suspects, which I just saw today.

I am sorry but I didn't get the conversation Cal and Marcel had. Is Morgan Freeman a lame actor? Speaking about Eastern Promises, Mortensen was praised for his ability to speak Russian with almost no accent. When it comes to films in English, the "Russian" characters always speak some sort of unintelligible gibberish which sounds more like Serbo-Croatian than Russian. Mortensen did a good job avoiding that... unlike Müller-Stahl and Cassel. For example, I found it very hilarious that Scarlett Johansson's character was presented as "Russian" in the Avengers' film. No Russian would speak the language like that. I wonder why they never think of finding proper vocal coaches who'd be native speakers. Then again, given the fact that Mortensen himself is tri-lingual and also speaks some additional languages, it's no wonder he had a pretty genuine Russian accent in that film.
