I quite like Tom Hanks, and that guy in Hi-Fidelity who's name escapes me for some reason.

Genearlly speaking though, I don't really have 'favourite actors/actresses'..

 

[Farbio]

i like morgan freeman and anthony hopkins

 

[prodigy]

Samuel L. Jackson
Sean Connery
Jean Reno

 

[NFS4]

"I'm a cleaner"

 

[atom]

Connery and Spacey.

 

[Yeeny]

Cuba Gooding Jr and Jim Carrey.

 

[Regine]

Prodigy,
don't scare me like that. I just glanced at your post and thought you said "Janet Reno".

 

[snow patrol]

Yep, kevin spacey is another for me. There are loads that I like, but it's hard to pick one or two favourites

 

[Balt]

Sean Connery is probably numero uno, in my opinion.

As far as pure talent goes, I think Dustin Hoffman is probably the most
underrated of actors. Just think of all the different types of roles he has played (and how well he did them). I didn't even realize he played Captain Hook (in Hook) until someone pointed it out to me. Oh and there's Rain Man too (and Tootsie for you freaks ).

His talent makes him one of my favorites.

Jon Cusack?

I KNOW you don't mean anyone else! Well, maybe Tim Robbins.


My fav have to be:

William H. Macy
Christopher Walken(dude's a hella bad ass villain)
Sean Connery
Harrison Ford
Tom Hanks
Samuel L. Jackson
Chow Yun Fat
Lawrence Fishburn
Tom Cruise. Dude. Top Gun.

Edit: Can't believe I forgot Al Pacino and Robert Deniro!

 

[Pacfanweb]

I like Pacino, Connery, Tommy Lee Jones currently.
All-time: John Wayne.

 

[pdo]

Robert Dinero
and that kid in Sixth Sense is pretty good too.

 

[najar]

Bill Clinton

Brad Pitt is quite the dedicated actor. For 12 Monkeys (most excellent film), he actually studied with psychiatrists and watched videos of schizophrenics [sp?] to get the hand gestures and behavior right.

I am also a fan of Jackie Chan, though he isn't a super actor. He is a great movie-maker.

And I feel that Tom Cruise deserves honorable mention. After watching the behind the scenes on MI:2, I was amazed at what he did in that movie.

As far as raw acting talent? hmmm... that is tough... I would have to say Jim Carey. His raw acting ability is phenominal. I have never been as amazed at a person's ability to disappear in a character as I was when I first saw Man on the Moon. Only after it was over did I remember that it was not Kaufman, but an actor. VERY convincing performance. His flexibility is astounding as well. Many good actors (spacey, deniro) can only portray a single type of character well. Carey can do about anything.
