Perfectly obvious thread, can't believe nobody's thought of it before - favorite actors.

Some from the older days:
-Henry Fonda
-Spencer Tracy
-Jimmy Stewart (these 3 are probably my top favs)
-Cary Grant
-Gary Cooper
-Kate Hepburn
-John Wayne
-Alec Guinness
-David Niven
-Peter Lorre
-Claude Rains

More recent:
-Paul Newman
-Robert Duvall
-Jack Lemmon
-Clint Eastwood
-Kevin Costner
-James Earl Jones
-Peter Falk
-Dustin Hoffman
-Al Pacino
-Christopher Lloyd
-Steve Martin

Well, I guess that'll do.

Oh yeah, and to protect myself...Harrison Ford.

(Please ladies, exercise some restraint when it comes to Harry, all right?) ;)

WEll you already know who my TOP favorite would be (hint: he played Indiana Jones)...

TO keep you happy Attila I won't start slobbering over him in this thread.

Another fave of mine that nobody mentioned from old movies: Humphrey Bogart!! He is so great.....

Sean Connery...that's a given. his accent is so cool.

Tom Hanks...

My favorite actor of all times, and I've mentioned this before, is Tom Hanks, but I love RObert DeNiro, Al Pacino, Sean Connery, Harrison Ford, Tommy Lee Jones, Clint Eastwood, Morgan Freeman.....................................................................................................................(infinite) I like elder actors, they seem to know their jobs, though they might fail sometimes. Of course there are many good young actors as well, but I can't really mention who i like and who i don't. Now my favorite actresses is a harder list to me. There is Maryl Streep, Queen Latifah....a few, but I can't have a list of actresses like the actors'. Now if you talk about hot actresses, BRING IT IN! (J/K)

How about Samuel L. Jackson

Sam is one of the best actors in the present time....he is such a terrific actor, he is so cool, he had such a great style

just think, in sw ep TWO for example, when sam L walks into the stadium....you just kniow 'the master is here' every film he's in, he adds so much to it ;)

Hmm...his forger was my favorite character in The Great Escape...I never saw him in anything else though, I'm afraid.

That progressive myopia...and then when the plane crashes, and he just starts walking, and the Nazis shoot him...poor man.
 
Guess. :p

#1~~Harrison Ford

I actually enjoyed all the "Rocky" films so I guess I could say Sylvester Stallone... Yeah you guy's beat me to all the others I was going to put down. Did one of you say Tom Hanks? I loved him in Apollo 13.

Because Bogart wasn't mentioned in first post, this forum should be shut down and deleted.

I am shocked, shocked to find Humphrey Bogart not mentioned in the first post!

(if anyone can think of a better quote to respond with than that, well, you have my respect)

Yes, I know Bogart's not there...he's just not a favorite of mine, that's all.
