Liam Neeson. All his movies are entertaining.

Jennifer Lawrence. Same reason, plus she's a hell of a bloody good actress!

 

[Sol Tee Nutz]

Christopher Walken, because he is damn good.

 

[joelcairo]

Living: Jack Nicholson (but I agree STN: Walken IS damn good also), Salma Hayek

Dead: Humphrey Bogart, Ingrid Bergman

Avoid at all costs: Matthew McConaghey, Dennis Quaid

Jack Nicholson and De Niro are my choices. Liam Neeson is not bad either. Ed Harris is also quite good. Have a lot of respect for Geoffrey Rush, Javier Bardem, George C Scott, Tommy Lee Jones, Joe Pesci, Robert Duvall, Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, Daniel Day Lewis...Gee, this is a fricccking long list, almost all of Hollywood is there !!! I should have named those I hate, would have been more simple !!

As far as women go, well I'd say Winona Ryder, Renée Zellweiger, Uma Thurman, Rachel Weisz, Kathy Bates, Cate Blanchett, Susan Sarandon

It's difficult to just name one or two; there's a lot of good talent...

I agree. C'est étrange, pas d'acteurs ou d'actrices du Québec. Du moins jusqu'à présent ;-)

Gilbert Sicotte est merveilleux.

It's hard to choose and for me it's based more on how much I enjoyed their roles and movies.

Ladies: Gong Li. Fabulous in many historic drama: Red Sorghum; The Emperor & the Assassin; Geisha; Curse of the Golden Flower (more an action than historic)

Men: Edward Norton. A good actor and I like the way he can look both badass and wimpy/goofy (American History X, Death to Smoochie and Fight Club)

Special mention to Malcolm McDowell for his main roles in Caligula and the Clockwork Orange.

Québécois: Luc Picard (1839), Alexis Martin et Pierre Lebeau (les deux très bons ensemble dans ''Matroni et Moi'' et Lebeau j'ai aussi vu au théatre jouer Macbeth et dans 'Odyssée)

Anne-Marie Cadieux dans le film ''No'' et dans le rôle d'Elizabeth 1ere au théatre.

Thats a hard choice to choose one. Thing is i like action movies and i NOT looking for a "superb acting performance" if i can say. When it comes to male actors, its hard to pass over my childhood action heroes like Van Damme or Schwarzanegger.... But at the moment, one dude im really looking forward to any movie he makes... Scott Adkins... aka Yuri Boyka from Undisputed...

When it comes to female actress... Well Kate Beckinsale of underworld is an easy choice... lol or i could say i have a major crush on Amber Heard (she is just too beautifull really) but if i get to involve talent as well and all... Jessica Biel seem to be a good choice since she did many different stuff and i can't forget about Lady Dragon Cynthia Rothrock... she has a special place for me...

Then there is TV actors... and well its just too hard to pick one... i mean some actors did some of my favorite movies... while others they did didn't got me exited at all. But it means they have acting range... Me im not ashame to say i like action movies... or silly teen comedies...

Raymond Bouchard est excellent aussi... Rémy Girard... Michel Côté

J'aime beaucoup Michel Côté.

La plupart des acteurs et actrices d'ici et d'ailleurs qui me touchent profondément ne sont pas des vedettes.

Je dois dire que j'ai beaucoup apprécié la série Breaking Bad. Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul et le merveilleux Jonathan Banks m'ont donné des frissons.

My favorite female actress is Reese Witherspoon. I am surprised to say this but after several years of sampling her art I have concluded that she has tremendous range and the ability to make me laugh. In the dark comedy Freeway Reese plays a white trash runaway abducted by a serial killer played by Kiefer Sutherland. In another dark comedy "ElectionShe plays a preppy, over-achieving, goody two shoes. My least favorite is the chick flick Legally Blond where she plays a Valley girl co-ed. She was outstanding as June Carter in the Drama Walk the Line.

My favorite Male lead is probably Leonardo DiCaprio for probably the same reasons as Reese Witherspoon...from the Autistic kid in Gilbert Grape to Jordan Belfort in the Wolf of Wall Street, Leonardo always keeps me entertained. WOWS was probably the longest movie I have ever sat through and I didn't want it to end.

For comedies I really like Jonah Hill and Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, Vince Vaughn and the Wilson brothers.

Belle scène, dialogues savoureux, touchant Gabriel Arcand. Un classique ;-)

Robin Williams.

Now that I think of it, I haven't actually seen that many of his movies. My favorite is ''One Hour Photo''. A great psychological drama.

I would also add Philip Seymour Hoffman (Boogie nights, Big Lebowsky, Happiness). In all those movies he plays interesting variations on the theme of awkward, sexually repressed character.

Also Frances McDormand as Chief Gundersson in Fargo, my Top 1 movie.
