5 Fav Actors


I had a discussion on set with a coworker last week about what can qualify someone as being a great actor. There are many different parameters and exclusively deciding on the particulars, as we concluded, usually comes down to opinion.

SO, just for the hell of it, seeing as this is a completely subjective question, I'd like to see who everyones favorite top five actors are. If you are an avid TV or movie watcher, this changes constantly, so just list your current favorites in the comment section.

Coming up soon, I will ask who the top five favorite actresses are, so prepare for that as well. JV's post about "Inside the Actors Studio" led to my thinking of this, as I think it was one of the best posts yet.

    Robert Downey Jr.
    Nathan Fillion
    Jack Black
    Geoffrey Rush
    Jackie Chan

    Hon mention/secret #1 spot- Bruce Willis (because of Fifth Element)

    For actresses, 'cuz we gotta get some lady love in here, i'd have to say:

    Mary-Louise Parker,
    Ellen Page,
    Tina Fey,
    Buffy Summers/Veronica Mars (Because Sarah Michelle Geller and Kristen Bell are sort of inter-changable as their characters in my mind. And I have to include them on this list, if not as themselves, than as their alter-egos.)
    Summer Glau

    Hon Mention/secret #1 spot- Michelle Rodriguez (for always being in movies that I'm into and for playing the same BAMF so well)
