He'd be my second favourite. Probably on the strength of The Green Mile. Awesome performance.

 

[bacon buster]

male: brad pitt (fight club)
i think he's a pretty versatile actor, who has been in some excellent movies (i hope troy is good)

female: i don't much like any female actors, for their acting ability anyway

My favourite actor(s) would have to be... Hugh Grant, Steve Martin & Ashton Kutcher.

 

[jacqui9]

Paul Newman (The Sting)

Wonderful actor. There is none better.

Sorry Loztar but I cannot Ashton Kutcher.

 

[TheWackedYak]

Actor: Ed Norton Jnr with the great Leslie Nielsen right up there.
Actress: if just on acting, probably one of the three Aussie chicks (Blanchette, Kidman, Watts) although Watts is the most boofable of the three.

 

[Pornstar]

Ed Norton

 

[Disgustipated]

Sean Penn has my vote.

 

[brassmonkey]

Male: Hugh Grant, Tom Hanks, Daniel Day Lewis, Matthew McConaughey

Female: Nicole Kidman, Shannon Elizabeth, Elizabeth Hurley (this isn't based on acting talent)

 

[NICK THE PIE MAN]

Easily Ed Norton.
Incredible and versatile.

Always been a big fan of Jack Nicholson also.

Tom Hanks, Robin Williams, Johnny Depp, Russel Crowe are all up there for me too.

Favourite actress goes to Nicole Kidman. Her expressions, maneorisms and versatility impress me.

 

[Coll_RP]

Al Pacino - The Godfather and Scarface and all his other movies

Nicole Kidman - Always plays the part perfectly

 

[Rusty Brookes]

Fave Male: Christopher Lee
Fave Female: Frances McDormand

 

[HighReeve]

Johnny Depp : Black Pearl

Sarah Michelle Gellar : Buffy
Eliza Dushku : Buffy

 

[mantis]

Edward Norton & Robert De Niro.

I don't really have a fav female actress.

I wouldn't watch a movie just because a certain actress was in it, where as I will always watch movies if the above two actors are in them, I have never been disappointed yet.

I am so glad someone nominated Frances McDormand - she is incredible.

Male Actor - Robert De Niro (pre 1995)

 

[Mr Eagle]

Ed Norton and John Cusack are the best of the younger generation. I also have a soft spot for Samuel L Jackson.

 

[Weaver]

Christopher Walken and Holly Hunter

 

[crudbucket]

SEAN CONNERY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Pieman7]

Mr Robert De Niro - own Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Cape Fear and the Untouchables on DVD.

Actress probably Heather Graham but thats more so the fact I have a thing for her.

 

[Boro]

My favourite of all time is James Stewart. Just love every movie he is in.

More recently i'd say Johnny Depp and Kate Hudson (cos I fancy her)

 

[jikost]

Jared Leto and Jennifer Connelly. Their performances in Requiem were outstanding. It is okay to base this on only one movie, right?

 

[marcuz]

Steven Seagal

 

[Portmagpies]

Eddie Murphy.

 

[noogie_da_sheep]

Male: Samuel L. Jackson...and Tom Hanks (Green Mile and Castaway...great acting there)
Female: Keira Knightley
