Anita says:
Funny thing, opinions... Some of the above posts leave me totally baffled. And - not a single one name beyond Hollywood?

Gerard Philipe
Marcello Mastroianni
Robert De Niro (younger version)
Al Pacino (ditto)
Jean-Paul Belmondo

Is somebody of TV allowed? Perhaps not as the best, but as personal favourite?
Tom Ward

What about actresses?
Monica Vitti
Claudia Cardinale
Debra Winger

Best TV actress ever Amanda Tapping.

Suppose I should add at least one female, so possibly exchange Depp for Jodie Foster?

Ian: Pete Postlethwaite: Great actor; Just getting established when the Man above decided to deprive us of another worthy human. Johnny Depp: Crap. Why? Plays the same character in all his movies. Can't act, just "pretends" (with the help of the make-up artists)

Tywin Seasword says:
1. Viggo Mortensen
2. Ed Harris
3. Russell Crowe (Not recently)
4. Samuel L. Jackson
5. Tom Hanks
6. Gary Oldman

(Not in that order, but those are my favourite, P.S Ever Since Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, Johnnie Depp has been playing basically the exact same potrayal of characters usually wonky, sort of crazy characters with a heart of gold)

Least favourite actor's

Ryan Reynolds
Chris Evans
Shia Labeouf
Bruce Willis (has just became desperate for work)
Ben Affleck (although will forgive him for his direction of The Town)

LOL @ Spin - good call on Mr Depp, I know he's a bit (ahem!) ropey but I need a quirky actor and am a bit ashamed to admit I do actually like his films (The last Pirates film aside, shocking that was!). At least I didnt put Keanu Reeves in there!! lol
