Your favorite actor

[Arthos]

Probably Patrick Stewart, quite possibly one of the most skilled actors I have ever seen.

Indeed. And Personally NOT as Cpt. Picard. I mean, he Did Captain Ahab a few years back.........Unbelievable. He's also done a number of other classic characters expertly, and superbly. He is one of the greatest performers of our time.

 

[The Cheese]

Christopher Walken (every movie), Johnny Depp (Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, Edward Scissor Hands, Pirates of the Caribbean), Adam Sandler (Punch Drunk Love), Edward Norton (American History X, Fight Club), Brad Pitt (Seven, Fight Club), Morgan Freeman (The Shawshank Redemption), Woody Harrelson (Natural Born Killers), Jake Gyllenhaal (Donnie Darko), Keith David (Platoon, Requiem for a Dream), Jared Leto (Requiem for a Dream, Fight Club)

I'm sure there are more but this is all I can think of ATM.

What I really like to see is when an actor/actress does a performance thats unlike anything they have ever done before, and they do it well.

What?! Not one of you listed HArrison Ford? My favorite actor of all time. He has done countless great films. Indiana Jones is the role he is probably most known for.
