Pretty simple really...who are your favourite actors and actresses? Would you go and see a film, or buy a DVD, purely because it's got them in it?

Actresses, I don't give a strawberry float about. None of them really bother/impress me, although Jennifer Connelly is good. Attractive to boot. I have a bit of soft spot for Keira Knightley as well.

As for actors...I've got three favourites really.

1) Russell Crowe. Some of my favourite films have old Russ in them. Gladiator, LA Confidential, A Beautiful Mind..even his lesser films, like Master and Commander and Cinerella Man, I enjoyed a lot. Still haven't seen American Gangster, but I've ordered Body of Lies, so that's on the way.

2) Leonardo DiCaprio. Disliked him for no good reason after Titantic, but then saw some great performances; The Beach, The Departed, Blood Money, etc, the latter being one of my favourite films. Very good actor.

3) Morgan Freeman. Just superb. A very talented actor. There aren't any particular films that spring to mind, apart from The Shawshank Redemption, but he's a very talented guy. A film always seems at least a little bit better with him in it.

Robert De Niro and Morgan Freeman very close to being up there as well.

Your faves?

Sonny Chiba - Without a doubt the finest actor working in martial arts movies today.

strawberry float knows. I was just quoting from True Romance.

Ah, should've got that. But a quick check of iMDB shows that he is appearing in the odd few things. Most recently? The Fast And The Furious: Tokyo Drift.

Kevin Spacey & Kate Winslet.

Sigourney Weaver.

For me, an actor has to capture and hold one's attention; he or she has to have 'presence'.

Anthony Hopkins
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Kevin Spacey

I can't think of a single female actor who has the same kind of impact as any of the above.

Meryl Streep is actually a really good actress, so I guess I'll say her.
