Who is your favourite actor/actress

[HovaGirl]

Meryl Streep just has to be one of the greatest actresses ever. She can play anyone, of any age. Alan Rickman's voice just sends me . . .

 

[GNF on Tour]

Wilfed Zaha (bindun?)

 

[ShanklySeagull]

I can't believe there's been 43 posts and none of you have mentioned Morgan Freeman. Shawshank Redemption has to be in most peoples Top 20 films surely??

I like De Niro immensely too.

Ronnie Barker and Alan Rickman

Great shout, for both. For years I didn't comprehend and it is a bit still hard to believe that Fletch and Arkwright were played by the same man. Rickman also completely acted the socks off Kevin Costner in Robin Hood.

Another shout for Kevin Spacey too and Michael Sheen (brilliant as Blair, Clough and David Frost)

Ron Jeremy.

 

[Paskman]

Ralph Fiennes - sheer evil in Schindler's List
Christopher Walken, always brilliant

 

[Pevenseagull]

Gene Hackman and Julie Christie

off the top of my head, honourable mentions to

James Stewart, Jack Lemmon, Daniel Day Lewis
Bette Davis, Katherine Hepburne, Faye Dunaway

Robert Mitchum, Steve Buscemi, Natalie Wood

 

[Dusty_Fryer]

Michael Sheen and Sally Hawkins.

Agree with all of the above.

Personally always rate Jack Nicholson - at least when he is on form.
Also Jim Broadbent, as mentioned aabove, Brenda Blethyn and Timothy Spall.

And for old timers, Alec Guinness and sir John Gielgud. I think John Gielgud's Butler to Dudley Moore's Arthur was masterful
