(Sorry I'm old fashioned and can't get used to calling females "actors")

Charleze Theron - Beautiful, talented actress, versatile. Brilliant in many different roles... and did I mention beautiful?

 
I commend your taste chops.

Kate Blanchett:

At first glance for me attractive, but not beautiful. But to see her acting and her personality (eg the Denton interview) - 11/10.

Smashing Lady - Brilliant actress.

Why thankyou.

Just noticed my favourite actress Zooey, is also on my very much treasured and loved favourite label Merge Records. Maybe there is something in that.

The label is from your land, of the tar heels Wayne. Out of Durham and formerly Chapel Hill.

 
I would have to say Eric Bana and agree Cate Blanchette.

Eric Bana needs to do more comedy. His last good one was The Nugget.

Yeah Bana is pretty good isn't he. Good Aussie story too.

He was excellent in Troy. Made Pitt look like a goose.

Needs to work on his American accent a little though.

Agree with Theron. Nice.

Juliet Binoche doesn't get enough work.

Keanu Reeves, now there's an actor!
 
Im sorry fellas, but there is no one better then...

Scarlett Johansson

Meryl Streep - great actor, can do any accent, can get inside a character.

The late Paul Newman. Especially with Elizabeth Taylor in that old Tennessee Williams classic "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof".

Can't stand Nicole Kidman, or Tom Cruise.
 
Always been a fan on Jack, what a tallented individual....

Also notice Danny Devito, he cracks me up!

De Niro is also very special. Found this pick from early day in Taxi....

When the guy says "You", and shakes his finger, very memorable!

Dustin Hoffman, Death of a Salesman and Marathon Man, both 2 of my favorite flicks,







 
Ok, now I am over my love potion, male actor, Johnny Depp without any close rival.

He is good. Can't see him as Shantaram though. Bloody hilarious in the Pirates movies.

I'm in two minds about Clint Eastwood. Doesn't he just play himself? Those movies with the orangutan were pretty good.
 
I agree Kennas, Depp is very talented.

I heard maybe he will drop the Aussie accent for Shamtaram.
But in actual fact he should try to sound more like a Kiwi to stick closer to the book. I just hope the book isnt too mangled to make it more consumable for North American audiences.

Be interesting to see if the Director requires him to speak Marahti. She should require him to sound like a Kiwi. Big book so I hope they dont cut out the shadier sides of the racketeering business or how they will deal with the Sapna issue especially after the Mumbai attacks.

Depp seems to be able to handle a British accent pretty well and also Pirate. So sounding Aussie or Kiwi, he shouldnt be too far off.
 
Al Pacino



Morgan Freeman



Robin Williams



Denzel Washington

Geoffry Rush, Eric Bana and Cate are just Brilliant!
