Favourite Acor and Actress

[ian]

Just thought Id start a thread on who peoples favourite actors and actresses are.
Well one of my favourite male actors is Al Pacino, he was cool back from the Scarface and Godfather days.
And favourite female actress is, well not for her acting ability, but Joanna Bacalso is nice, saw her in a disney movie called "Snow Dogs"

I like characters rather than actors... but Mike Myers is in a lot of stuff I like. Can't think of a favourite actress... there's just so much talent to choose from

Mine is... let me see... Can't think of any coz they're acting, and wouldn't know them in real life except for Grace Jones - but I can't stand her acting as she is wierd both on-screen and off-screen {sorry sistah! but you know this - I've told you a quadrillion times as it is already}...

actress:

i think julia stilles and kirsten dunst have great potential.

actor:

for some reason, i can often times relate to the roles played by freddy prince jr. that doesn't make him a favorite though, although i do enjoy his films. i don't know, but i have always admired shawn conery. also, sylverster stellon seems to be pretty cool in person.

John Travulta is one of my favs. I like just about all of the main actors/actresses in Ocean's Eleven, too.

Emilio Estevez when he played in a movie with his father. I don't know what its title actually. I think, "maximum Overdrive" or something, and then when he played in Young Guns.

And Julia Roberts, esp. in "erin Brokovich".

 

[AainaA]

Ah.. Julia Roberts and that guy in Pretty Woman they were good, but you tend to like these actors/actresses by the way they look or even by the way they react to a certain given situation, but does that make them really good "actors/actresses"?

hmmm

 

[Chroder]

I think it's the whole package. If I know if someone is a total ass, then I probably won't like the movie/role they're playing then if I was oblivious to their real personality.

 

[AainaA]

but they're pretty good in disguising their personalities non Chroder?

 

[Chroder]

True. Like Russell Crowe I heard is a complete ass, but he plays good parts.

 

[ian]

I wouldnt say Russel Crowe is a complete ass, he just sometimes likes to drink and get involved in punch ups. He is actually rather down to earth and not snobbish like a lot of movie stars, plays/watches football, plays in a band at local pubs and clubs, that is when he is not getting paid mega bucks to act in blockbusters.
And of course he is from Australia, so he has to be ok.

 

[[tab]]

Actually he's from New Zealand... we just claimed him. Ditto for Sam Neill.

 

[ian]

yeah well he lives in Coffs Harbour and near garden island, so he is Australian, so is Mel Gibson and same for the brothers Gibb, from the Bee Gees, I dont worry about little technicalities like where they were born

 

[AainaA]

which means that if i decide to bribe the aussie gov in giving me a residency, i could be aussie too? hmmm so chroder whatcha waiting for

 

[zkiller]

as far as comedy goes, my vote for best actor/comedian goes to jack black!

 

[[tab]]

[AainaA]

[zkiller]

[AainaA]
