10 favourite actors

[occy]

Ok - why not - time to list your 10 favourite actors - no particular order - and you can leave alan out cause we all know he is in ALL our lists LOL

for me - no order

1. Ian Hart (loved him in nearly everything Ive seen him in)
2. Ronan Vibert (lots of people say he is like Alan Rickman, I say he is diverse and endowed with his own particular talents - especially using his body when he acts)
3. David Thewlis (huge fan since I saw Naked)
4. Tony Slattery (yea english girlies - you heard right *g* - Tony is talented even if he has had a few screwed up years - extremely funny as a stand up comedian and very good dramatically)
5. Emma Thompson (quintessential british actress)
6. Stephen Fry (Look - I know - but seriously - if he wants to have kids Im have to be the vessel!)
7. Johnny Depp (look beyond the pretty boy looks and you have a wondeful actor - look at edward scissorhands!)
8. Kevin Whately (Neville in Auf Wiedershein Pet and Lewis in Inspector Morse. There is just something completely natural and vulnerable about him)
9. Richard E Grant (mrowl...hugh grant foppish without the various body tremours *g*)
10. Al Pacino (love the godfather - have two posters of it up currently LOL, loved scarface, insomnia, angels in america etc etc etc

David Tennant didnt make my top 10 cause though I think he is extremely cute - ive not seen him in enough to gauge how much I like him as an actor - definately liked him as Barty Jnr!

My minds a blank this early in the morning but ...

Harrison Ford (Always at the top of my list. My daughters gave me a life sized Han Solo cutout for Valentine's Day one year)
Sean Connery (it was hard to know where to look during Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade)
Johnny Depp (another very versatile actor, not to mention gorgeous ... and his sister used to do my nails)
I'll add my thumbs up to both Tony Slattery and Steven Fry who I loved from the Brit version of Whose Line
The entire cast of Sense & Sensibility
Jack Lemmon and Walter Matthau (wonderful together but equally wonderful on their own)
Any of the old film noir actors, especially the entire cast of Laura (my all time favorite film noir)

Oh you like Jason Isaacs too! Which is your favorite movie with him? Mine's the Harry Potter movies, where he plays sexy Lucius Malfoy, i also love Passionada and Peter Pan with him. Oh Christian Bale is a wonderful actor too, love him in Captain Corelli's Mandolin.

[candescence]

Well, Jason Isaacs just is Lucius Malfoy!! He is absolutely delicious in that role and steals the show when he is on screen. I fear if I ever see the two of them on screen together I will just pass right out! I also love him in The Patriot, and want to rent Peter Pan when I am through with my Rickman-athon!

And Christian Bale I like in Laurel Canyon, and of course in Batman Begins. Oh, and in Velvet Goldmine with Ewan...one of my favorite movies with another actor I love, Jonathan Rhys Myers.
