Who Is Your Favorite Current Actor?

[SlowwHand]

He'll probably end up making my All Time list, and that's sacred.

Mine is Johnny Depp. I'm not easily impressed by many things, but I really like watching his work.

Heath Ledger

wait, is he considered current?

Cary Elwes

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Interesting question. And nice choice with Depp.

My favorite actors tend to not to be movie stars: Chris Cooper, Delroy Lindo, and especially David Straithairn would probably be at the top of the list.

But if we're talking favorite BIG actors, I'd have to say George Clooney and Brad Pitt. Pitt's a genuinely great actor, and Clooney's very, very good at what he does, which is being a modern Cary Grant (Grant wasn't a great actor, either, but I'd sooner watch a Cary Grant movie than just about any other kind).

Pitt's a genuinely great actor,

Aside from Fight Club everything he's done in his professional career is horrendous.

He's fantastic in Seven, Twelve Monkeys, Snatch, and even an otherwise negligible film like Spy Game.

Dammit, you took my two!!

Don Cheadle.

ACK!

[Rufus T. Firefly]

Actually, I completely forgot about Ed Norton, who is God.

I don't have a favourite but several mentioned named would be on the top list.

Clooney - I agree. Not the best I've seen but very competant.

Cheadle - Very good. I put his acting mate, Philip Seymour Hoffman with him. They seem to go together.

Depp I put with DiCaprrio - Actors I don't particulary like but still respect their work/talent.

I'll add Daniel Day Lewis to the list. Aopparently his new effort (There Will Be Blood) his quite good although PT Anderson makes the chore a little easier.

Actor, or can I pick actress, too?

[Asher]

I find most actors passable in movies, I'm not overly picky.

In terms one ones that always stand out to me:
Brian Cox
Jack Nicholson
Peter O'Toole
Meryl Streep

And as discussed above, Philip Seymour Hoffman is great as is Don Cheadle.

I live in a free country. You can pick Barney the Dinosaur if you want to.
