Just like Megan Foxx is hot,but she can't act for nothing.

If there was person to play Joker,Hall would be perfect.

One of my favorite actors is Brad Pitt. He has made some great roles in some great movies like Fight Club, Inglorious Basterds, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Snatch etc.

Other than that I like comedy actors like Seth Rogen and Jason Segel. I have bit of a man crush on both of these guys

Pitt's best performance was in Inglorious Bastards. No one could do Lieutenant Aldo Ray better than Pitt.

I have a new actor I want to add to my list of favorites

Joe Pesci

His performance in Casino is unreal. He has got to be a little bit like that in reality, because he plays that role to an absolute T. I swear half that stuff he says has got to be impromtu. Like that scene where he get mad at his fellow gangster after he called him funny and he gets all bent out of shape.

Great scene. And that voice is unmistakable.

Top 5 actors(

)

1) Johnny Depp - does everything right in everything I've seen him in.
2) Joaquin Phoenix - Haven't seen him alot lately, but his portraying of Johnny Cash in 'Walk the line' is brilliant.
3) Morgan Freeman - has done a lot of crap lately, but movies like Shawshank, Se7en and Robin Hood just puts him up there imo.
4) Uma Thurman - About time with a woman now, huh? Just kidding. Loved her in Pulp Fiction, and she did a nice job in Kill Bill as well. AND she's bloody hot!
5) Kevin Costner - this is the hard choice, but I choose Costner for his roles in Dancing with Wolves and JFK.

Solid enough list, not my personal favourites mind. However I don't agree with number 2 at all, even though I really liked Walk The Line. And number for, for his roles in what? Not for his role in Se7en and American Beauty?

Number 4, I like Uma for her work with Tarantino. But a favourite actress would have to be Naomi Watts

Well, not just Walk The Line. He plays excellent in Gladiator, I really ended up hating his character. And he's done some decent horror-films :p

This guy, love his movies. Haven't seen one of his movies that didn't make me laugh.

He's forgettable, but a decent enough list.

1) Johnny Depp
2) Leonardo Dicaprio
3) Tom Hanks
4) Robert Deniro
5) Edward Norton
6) Russell Crowe
7) Naomi Watts

My list.

Marlon Brando - Possibly one of the most talented actors of all time.

Vivien Leigh - The beautiful Vivien Leigh is the mistress of human emotions, very expressive. She was convincingly insane in A Streetcar Named Desire. That might have had something to do with her being bipolar in real life, but that's pure talent nontheless!

Barbara Stanwyck - Nobody can touch Babsie when it comes to playing the sneering, vindictive woman!

Jack Nicholson - Has any other male actor come as close to capturing the essence of insanity on screen as Nicholson? Jacky boy is as convincing in his portayal of mental illness as Leigh.

Anthony Hopkins - Self-explanatory!

This list is prone to change. Other honourable mentions; Heath Ledger, Michelle Pfeiffer, Jim Carey, Bette Davis. Naomi Watts almost made it. Loved her in Mullholland Dr. And Monique gets a thumbs up from me for her performance in Precious as an abusive, obese, slug for a mother!
