Favorite actor

[bone crusher]

Who is your favorite actor? Most of these kinds of thread are top 5's or whatever, in mine you can ONLY pick one.

My fav is Denzel Washington

[Tanman19az]

I second that on Denzel. Training Day is my fav movie with him.

actor: josh hutcherson (I know he's under 20)
actress: Meryl Streep (my favourite actor/actress above all others)

[blindcat87]

Morgan Freeman without a doubt.

Chris

[Sylin]

Hugh Grant. He's charming, goofy, and has just enough talent to make his roles believable.

Oh, you can't do this to me. I have to be able to pick two....here's what I'll do, pre-1997 movies my favorite is Al Pacino. Post-1997, it's Christian Bale.

edward norton (red dragon, american history x, death to smoochy)
mathew lillard (slc punk)

Really odd ball one, but hear me out. Jack Klugman of Odd Couple TV series.
Watch him in the old Twilight Zones, The Odd Couple, Quincy, or any role he has played. His style has never changed and yet was always good. Comedy or Drama, he could do it.

Now, the likes of William Shatner, you can see how much he sucked then but today....well. We still love William Shatner.

[MasterXeus]

Hugh Jackman

It's hard to pick one though I could easily name five.

Johnny Depp

[JJ]

Christian Bale, Clive Owen - followed by Eric Bana, Russell Crowe and Jeremy Irons.

He was very underrated. He was great in 12 Angry Men, and yes, his Twilight Zone appearances were wonderful -- especially "In Praise of Pip" and "A Passage For Trumpet." He did a lot of excellent live TV in the 50's too, but since it was live rather than film, there are no high-quality copies of most of the shows. It's a shame really that he's best remembered for The Odd Couple -- fun show but he was far better than that.

Same is true of Ernest Borgnine. If you've seen "From Here To Eternity" or "Marty" you know he can really act -- but now he's mostly known for McHale's Navy and Spongebob Squarepants. A shame.
