Favourite actors and actresses

Too many, really.

Actors, Christopher Lee, by a long shot, but I also have a huge soft spot for vastly underrated character actors like John Lithgow & Rene Auberjonois (the latter actually having suffered by playing Odo, compared to what he can really do). I also like the following

Jack Lemmon
Cary Grant
James Stewart
Sir Alec Guinness

- in fact many of the classic actors. Currently, George Clooney & (at times) Russell Crowe are the only two who come close to that old school adaptability of acting. I also like genre actors like Ron Perlman, who have made a living out of playing below the radar characters in movies.

Actresses (again, I'm very old school with my tastes)

Julie Christie
Shirley MacLaine
Katherine Hepburn
Deborah Kerr

Modern actresses - not much to choose from, but Julia Roberts would certainly have had a lot better roles back in the 60's. Helen Mirren, of course, is a national institution. Cate Blanchett showed with that pretentious Dylan flick she's adaptable & talented as any out there. Imelda Staunton is a wonderfully kooky bird, who deserves better parts.

Other than that, it's the fit ones I like!


Why pick a definitive favourite when you have so much quality to choose from?
 
It doesn't necessarily have to be one favourite, but in my case it happens to be one actor and one actress.

Tim Roth is fucking phenomenal, he's played all sorts of roles in all sorts of movies... particularly kicked ass in The Deceiver and The Legend of 1900, yet the dude barely recieves any recognition from movie "critics". He's like the unknown girl getting paid 25$ to perform the craziest, most extreme forms of sexuality, while high-profile sluts get paid millions for boring normal sex.
