Who are your top favorite male actors and why? email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies7 months ago

There are many great male actors still around today, but my top three favorites are Tom Hanks, Denzel Washington, and Sean Connery. They play many different characters equally well. I admire them for that ability, that versatility.

Who are your favorite male actors and what is it that makes them your favorites?

Good question, for me I would pick Johnny Depp, Leonardo Dicaprio and Tom Hanks, all of them because I love there unusual choices, they pick movie choices for themselves and not always for what the public wants, I like that thinking and I love there various roles.

I agree! These are all great actors and pick great scripts. Depp is as unique in his real life as he is on screen. Thank you for responding: )

Although he is by no means the best actor in the world I do like Robert Downey Jr. His comic ability is brilliant but he can play it straight as well and some of my favourite films featuring him see him showing some great acting ability. Probably my favourite film of his has to be "Chaplin" but then I also like "Iron Man", "Zodiac" and "Only You" which all show different sides to him.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

When you say Downey shows different sides to himself and his ability as an actor in each role, well that is one of the things that makes any actor stand above the rest...that adaptability. Thank you for responding:)

Ahhhh! To choose three?! I choose mine based on the one thing I loved them in. So my list is completely biased on one thing.

James Spader (Boston Legal/Stargate)
David Hewlett (Stargate: Atlantis)
David Duchovny (X-Files)

Sadly I love them... but only in one or two things. They are never in good movies...:( They might have one or two... alright movies but they are never Mulder/Rodney/Alan for reals.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

Interesting choices and good ones. What is the one thing about each that made you choose them? That would also be interesting to know: )

Gerard Butler: I like the roles he chooses and he's hot.
Denis Leary: Funny and sexy
Johnny Depp: Versatile actor, odd roles, cute.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

I like that you are very definite about why you chose these three men. Some actors really do just stand above the rest to each of us.: )

Karen


myLot reputation of 89/100. thelastwolf113 (3089)   ranked 11 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

Yes, well, the hotness/fantasy factor helps with the first two. Gerry's accent and smoking body goes a long way. Denis makes me laugh and that's hot. (It's why I married my husband, love humor.) And all three are really good actors. I'm sure there's plenty of others but with these three I will watch anything they're in.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

I tend to do the same with actors I love...watch everything they make!

My top 3 actors are ... Robert De Niro... Al Pacino... & Bruce Willis...

Robert De Niro... for his versatility
Al Pacino... great facial expresion when acting
Bruce Willis... the only believable action superstars among the BIG 3 (Arnie, Sly & Him) & is a great comic too!


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

Great choices, and I love that you know what exactly makes them great to you. Thank you for your input.: )

wooww.. that's a very hard question I haven't got a favorite actor. But these three actors would be on my top ten list:

Eddie Murphy - versatile actor and extremely hilarious!
Harrison Ford - now who wants to mess with Indianan Jones eh?rasp
John Travolta - grease lighting go!


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

Great choices. I remember watching Barbara Walters interview Eddie Murphy before he became quite so famous. She said he was someone to watch, and she bet that soon, he would be a household word, and sure enough, she was right.

The only actor I really like that I canthink of at the mommentis Rob Pattinson. xD
He may not be the most talented guy, but I just have the hugest crush on him.
I first came acrost him in a small part in the 4th Harry Potter movie- then I recognized him when the first Twilight previews came out. xD


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

There are so many reasons why we pick our favorites, so heck, why not a crush? Thank you for responding: )

there's so many of them. lol
if i pick three it will be will smith, nicholas cage, and yeah, denzel washington. very versatile actors.
but i can also state the rest that i can remember:
harrison ford, sylvester stallone, john travolta (great when he plays a villain. hehehe), robert redford, tom hanks, pierce brosnan, sean connery, vin diesel, and kevin costner (i find his eyes very very sexy).


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

I have seen many movies with each of these actors, and have to agree with you; all are good! Thank you for responding: )

Hugh Jackman because he is just so darn cute and he is a well rounded actor. He sings, dances, does comedy, he can do live performances as well as movies. He is what I call an old fashion actor. Ewan McGregor, because he plays such interesting roles. Johnny Depp is always excellent in whatever he is end. Even if the movie is bad, his performance is good.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

These are good choices...and of them all, I pick Depp for his uniqueness and his versatility. Thank you for sharing your choices.

I like Tom Hanks a lot. His films touch me like anything. I have watched 'Forrest Gump' for numerable times and yet to get enough of him. I also like oldies like Jack Nicholson, Sean Connery, Michael Doglas. I like Jude Law in 'Holiday'.


myLot reputation of 100/100. PeacefulWmn9 (3027)   ranked 91 out of 11,484 in watching movies  7 months ago

There are so many good actors that it is hard to decide which are the best. All of the ones you've mentioned have such merit. I, too, love the movie Forrest Gump. It covers so much history in such a unique way.
