Your favo[u]rite actors & actresses — Page 2

Yes I love her.  She is just so good,she puts so much emotion into every facial expression and it's just so intense.  She plays Dellen so well giving her a spirital depth and being very forgiving while at the same time making it clear that you don't want to be on the other side of her wrath.  She can be innocent and yet she doesn't come off as stupid and at the same time you can tell she is sexually attracted to Sheridan and I imagine they have a very active sex life and yet we never see a single sex scene between them. She manages to express the love she has for the man in small gestures and looks and all of these things are hard to do.  She gives her character so much depth and there is a reason she is tied with Sarah Jane Smith as my favorite female character in Sci-fi and it is down to Furlan's acting.  She is in a word,amazing.

Third vote here for Boris Karloff.  A bit of a shame he became so typecast - he could have done anything.  Although I think he enjoyed his horror niche a lot.

 But he got typecast to a genre, not to a role, so we still get lots of variety in his great performances.

His great as a working class thug in "The Body Snatcher"

as an elegant but evil gentleman in "The Black Cat"

as basically a comedy role in "The Old Dark House"

as some Egyptian dude in "The Mummy"

LOL

Count Mira Furlan as another addition to my list.

 Since when was she made a Count? Not that I'm saying she doesn't deserve it.

 Damn you, I was only one month late to making this joke.

^HAW HAW!

I’ve added Julie Christie and Jennifer Connelly to my list.

Added Erick Avari to my list.

Added Bart the Bear and Jennifer Lawrence to my list.

Michael C. Hall, Brian Cranston, David Harbour, Millie Bobby Brown, Winona Ryder and Daisy Ridley are a few actors that I have come to admire in recent times.

I would put Mark Hamill on here for his performance in TFA but he was given too much screen time and it diluted his performance a bit.

Not sure if acceptable, but I’ll allow it if you list your top five thespianic influences.

Some of my favourite actors are Simon Pegg and Nick Frost. They should put those two in more movies.

Yes, together. Simon Pegg is doing too many roles on his own and I’m missing the back-and-forth he does so well with Nick Frost. After I finish listening to the XFM shows with Gervais/Merchant/Pilkington I’m definitely going to track down Pegg and Frost’s radio stuff.

I was watching Band of Brothers again the other day for the first time in a few years and I was amazed at how minor a player he was then and the powerhouse he is today.

Added Millie Bobby Brown to my list.

I had no idea who that was until I looked her up. And now that I know who she is, and Wiki failed to answer this question…why the fuck did her parents stick her with such a terrible middle/last name combo?

They know who you are, Frink, and they want to see you suffer.

Wow, I’m suffer-famous!

Added Sarah Gadon to my list.
