Johnny Depp.

Because of the eccentric strange wonderful characters he plays and he plays them so well but some actors have 1 identity and never leave their comfort zone but Depp can play other characters such as John Dillinger brilliantly well as well.

Di Caprio

Such a brilliant actor, he's one of the first actors I saw and liked. As a child I loved The Titanic, from an early age I always thought that the true events of the Titanic combined with a story of love was great, really gripping to watch and my favourite childhood film. And since then I've loved a lot of his work, Catch Me If You Can, I thought was a brilliant film. And he seems to have developed a working relationship with Martin Scorsese and I'm really looking forward to seeing Shutter Island.

What about you good people?

You ROBBED me out! Dammit.

I agree with Dustin Hoffman though, I loved him especially in I Heart Huckabees, I wanted to reach out and hug him.

Also Anthony Stewart Head, aka Giles from buffy for those who don't know. He's very sexy, not because of his looks but he really knows how to work it?

Tim Curry of course, the man is epic.

Jimmy Stewart too

Oddly enough...I find myself agreeing with this.

John Malkovich - the accent, and his SNL opener should seal the deal, but his roles in ConAir and Burn After Reading are some of my favorites.

Javier Bardem (sp?) - I've only seen him in No Country, but thats good enough for me.

Heath Ledger - Joker. Done.

Robert Downey Jr. - Saw him in Serlock this weekend and he killed it. Speaking of which, Jude Law was great too.

This is just some of the many.

You have to see him in The Sea Inside, spanish movie by Amenabàr. I've seen 4 of his films, all good, but in this one he's incredible (so is the movie btw).

He acted in a lot of films by Almodovar too, well he's a big actor in Spain, so there's a lot where that came from.

Seems just as comfortable appearing in a light comedy like Alfie as he is in an action film like Zulu or a bleak thriller like Get Carter.
Seeing him in a film is like putting on a comfortable well worn pair of trainers. And he's willing to help out new directors with smaller budgets get a step up the ladder as he showed with Harry Brown.... and he's still as good as ever.

I'll have to agree with this one, never seen him do unjustice to any role. I have a horrible habbit of pre-deciding wether a film is going to be good or not by wether or not it has this man acting in them :p

Just wondering what people think of this lad, he's player John Lennon in Nowhere Boy and starred in Kick Ass..

Aaron Johnson.

He's just 19, I think he has got some real potential.

Nicholas Cage-His tone and attitude are pretty much the same in every movie. Good actor though.
