Re: Your top ten actors; whom are they?In no particular order.
Michael Fassbender (Especially his preformance in Hunger)
Sam Rockewell (Severely underrated actor)
Damien Lewis
David Harewood
Leonardo Dicaprio (I think he showed his ability in blood diamond and catch me if you can)
Stephen Graham
Paddy Considine
Sean Bean (He gets less credit than he desereves I think)
Ashley Walters
Kenneth Branagh (Goes without saying I suppose)
There are others, but these are the ones I particularly like atm.Last edited by Foghorn Leghorn; 08-04-2012 at 18:03. -

Re: Your top ten actors; whom are they?It's irrelevant how many of his films I've seen, I haven't seen all of them but enough to go by to make a judgement. The point still remains of how every one of your complaints are simply invalid, he may not have a range of voices to the degree of the likes of Christopher Lee for example yet he certainly doesn't have a monotone voice. One facial expression is just gross exaggeration (almost sounds racist as well).(Original post by abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz)

I wouldn't say it was highly appropriate for him to be featured in a top 10 actors list, nevertheless he'd probably make it in the top 10 martial art actors list and it isn't completely out of the ordinary to consider him a good actor. -

Re: Your top ten actors; whom are they?Daniel Day Lewis in Gangs of New York
Tom Hardy in well just everything he's in, he's brilliant.
Heath Ledger in Batman and The Knights Tale
Zooey Deschanel (spelling) in A Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy
Toby Kebbel in RocknRolla

so..... i don't consider crouch an amazing football player but he scored a bloody good goal against city. Does that make him an amazing footballer because of one goal? a handful of goals? no it doesn't
and lol how my comment was almost racist.... so only chinese people can have one facial expression now? lol at PC gone mad
top 10 martial arts actors yes.... but that's because there really aren't that many martial arts actors -
