Just to balance out the Actors You Can’t Stand thread, which actors/actresses do you love to watch? I’ll watch anything with Mark Strong, he’s appeared in the odd questionable movie but usually nails every role.

Debbie Benton but only in that 1978 film

David Tennant, Dame Judie, James McAvoy, Saoirse Ronan. 🙂

Amy Adams

Mia Khalifa, she’s also appeared in the odd questionable movie funnily enough!

Stephen graham
Leo de caprio
Jodie comer

All of the above so far. Emma Stone has been phenomenal in all the films I’ve seen her in too

Alan Tudyk.

Mark Sheppard.

Eliza Dushku, for entirely different reasons.

Kevin Spacey.

christoph waltz. xavier bardem. christopher walken. madds mikkleson. eva green.

Almost everyone who has ever been in a Wes Anderson movie 🙂

Samantha Morton
Stephen Graham
Paddy Considine

Some actors who seem to play great characters

Mark Rylance
Toby Jones
Stellan Skarsgård

A pre NRA Charlton Heston. Paul Newman.

Tom Hanks
Matthew McConaughey

Keely Hawes
Toby Jones
Jason Watkins

I have to admit to being a Denzel Washington fan. OK he plays a similar tough guy role in pretty much all of his films, but I’m a man of simple movie tastes.

Lassie

Kevin Spacey

Agree, despite feeling uncomfortable about him being a wrong un, he’s a brilliant actor

Rami Malek, though not in his recent Bond foray

Joaquin Phoenix

Lassie

Which one?

Jason Statham.

Margot Robbie.

Brendan Gleeson.

For different reasons, but all amazing at their jobs.

The one that had baws

Eva Green and possibly a wee bit more Eva Green. Not just because she is pleasing to the eye.

Also Gary Oldman, not quite as pleasing to the eye for my taste but very good imo.

I miss Alan Rickman, such a great voice.

Christopher Walken – even makes that cruddy Outlaws comedy watchable 😊
Colin Farrell
Niamh Algar
Lupita Nyong’o
Florence Pugh
de Niro obvs
loads

I can certainly say I’ve never seen a Denzel Washington film I didn’t enjoy. Same goes for George Clooney.

I’m currently enjoying watching Gabrielle Creevy in In My Skin. She is absolutely phenomenal.

Can’t believe I forgot to say Charlize Theron. Possibly the finest of the fine, she just seems to inhabit each role and looks / behaves completely differently. A true chameleon

Rhys Ifans
Brendon Gleeson

Donald Sutherland.

I’ll agree with some of the suggestions above. Denzel Washington, Charlize Theron, Gary Oldman, Christoph Waltz.

I do like Matt Damon, Brad Pitt, & Ryan Gosling too. Special mention for Ethan Hawke.

Michael Sheen, although that christmas on a time travelling train thing I have recently seen advertised might change my opinion.

Stephen Graham is a good shout. Tom Hardy also for me.

Philip Seymour Hoffman, Alan Rickman, both sadly cut from any further scenes.

Jackie Chan
Jeff Bridges
Keanu Reeves
Karen Gillan
Gary Oldman
Regina King
Woody Harrelson
Sigourney Weaver
Bryce Dallas Howard

Second for Keanu Reeves, mainly because he comes across as a thoroughly decent guy (from what I’ve read).

The rock, Kevin heart and what’s his face from Deadpool.

You know it’ll be shite but it will be entertaining good shite.

I like Keanu as a person and he’s made some great films, but he’s also some some terrible acting. Dracula, anyone?

Bob Odenkirk
Clint
Michelle Pfeiffer
Stephen Graham
Steve Coogan (really)
Michael Sheen

Bryan Cranston, Hal to Walter White!

Kaley Cuoco, love her comic timing.
