Who's Your Favorite Actor?

Do you put comedians on best actor lists? Owen Wilson is funny as hell, but I would not say he is a great actor.

Brad Pitt was good in Ocean's 11 and Fight Club.

I also think that Kevin Spacey is great.

All time I think you would have to put Paul Neuman and Charleston Heston on the list.

Ya, he is great at what he does, and I will go see a movie if he is in it. He was also really good in Behind Enemy Lines, so he doesn't only do comedies. I don't think they have to be a serious actor just to be a great actor.

If by "favorite" you mean who brings the highest level of intensity to his role, then my favorite is John Malkovich, who narrowly edges Anthony Hopkins. And I won't get pissed at anyone who says I have it backwards. These two exemplify indifference to self in subservience to the role at hand.

There are a slew of others I enjoy: Nicholson, Freeman, Ed Harris, Willis, Hanks, Gossett Jr., Eastwood, Poitier...the list goes on and on.

You need to rent "Blackadder" (Brit comedy series) featuring Rowan Atkinson, but also with Hugh Laurie. I'd choose "Blackadder III" for Laurie's best involvement.

Just to show his breadth, also try the showings of Jeeves and Wooster. Laurie is very talented.
