There seems to be a lot of 'what's your favourite...' threads right now so hey, why not one more? There's f**k all else going on in the General Star Wars Forum anyway. So, of all the actors in the Star Wars movies, who's your favourite? I don't just mean talent wise, I mean as a person. Who do you respect or admire the most? Who would you most like as a buddy? etc.
After watching loads of star wars related documentaries and reading loads of books, I would have to say Mark Hamill. He seems to be the most level headed and well adjusted of them all, and he seems to me to have a lot of integrity in regard to his art. Plus, despite what people think, He is a very good actor.

Sir Alec Guinness. After all, his name is an anagram for "Genuine Class," minus the "sir" part, of course. And I would love to hang with him save for the whole being dead thing.

Yeah, Alec is my second choice. Kev, By the way, I'm only messing with you in all the other threads. The off topic section is like a playground and I'm just playing, but over here in the Star Wars discussion, let's talk. So, why Ian McD? What is it about him? I can't say I've seen many interviews etc to get a clear picture of what he is like as a person.

To be honest, I think the brit actors are way better than the American actors in the Star Wars saga.
Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford, yes they are excellent.

by the way Matt, be quiet.

Kevin you stole that from the Simpsons, the episode "Lisa's rival".

I think that Warwick Davis seems like a genuinely nice person.

I like Peter Cushing as well.

In the Star Wars Universe:
1. Harrison Ford
2. Alec Guinness
3. Ewan Mcgregor

In the Hollywood Universe:
(males)
1. Edward Norton
2. Samuel L. Jackson
3. Collin Ferrell
(female)
Natalie Portman

I find it sorta comical 2 of my favorite actors in the real world have appeared in the Star Wars universe and they aren't my favorite actors while in the Star Wars universe. Show's George's directional ability I think from the PT.

Never saw that episode. I actually read it online and, if it came from the Simpsons, they didn't give it credit either.

Personally I think Harrison Ford comes across as a bit of a dick in interviews, but as an actor he's great.
