Top Ten Favorite Actors

So now I am going to do a post of my top ten most favorite actors. Ross did not like my actress post, he did not agree with anything I said in it. But that is ok, I still love him. So here goes:

10. Ashton Kutcher
What a stud! But that is not how he made the list. I actually enjoy the characters he plays in movies he's been in. I especially liked his parts in The Guardian and Cheaper By The Dozen. Ya, he is definitely not my all time favorite actor, but was able to make it to number 10. Here's a quote from this guy: "I'll probably never be the best actor in Hollywood, but I hope to be the hardest working."

9. Harrison Ford
Han Solo, Indana Jones, what a spectacular actor! Those would be my favorite movies that he is in. And he was such a hunk back in the day. But again, that is not why he made the list. He is just an outstanding actor, if I do say so myself. And I do! He's done a lot of incredible movies and I think he is awesome sauce. Here's a Harrison Ford quote: "Whoever had the bright idea of putting Indiana Jones in a leather jacket and a fedora in the jungle ought to be dragged into the street and shot."


8. Tom Hanks
Mr. Hanks, someone that I have noticed a lot of people really love. I have to say I am on that list, though I'm not a fanatic. From Forest Gump to the Davinci Code, this guy can play almost any part, in my opinion. And that's really all I have to say about this awesome dude. But here's a quote: "If you're funny, if there's something that makes you laugh, then every day's going to be okay."

7. Liam Neeson
Aslan! Qui-Gon Jinn! That one guy in Batman Begins! And even Jean Valjean! Oh, and also the dad in Taken! Holy cow, this guy is amazing. I absolutely love his work and he pretty much kicks butt. He takes every part he gets and basically rocks the world with it. Yes, indeed. And here is a quote: "I never did think of myself as handsome--terribly attractive, yes, but not handsome."

6. Alan Rickman
Snape, Snape, Severus Snape. And my, what a fantastic Snape he is! I absolutely love this guy. He's awesome. I totally freaking love when he is that guy, Alex, in Galaxy Quest. Awesome movie. Yes. And he's even the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood. Anyway, I think he is awesome sauce. Here's a quote: "I do take my work seriously and the way to do that is not to take yourself too seriously."

5. Will Smith
Will Smith kicks butt, 'nuff said. I love that he can play a variety of characters. From I Am Legend to Hitch, holy cow he's amazing. And really funny and really good at what he does. I actually won a Will Smith Look-Alike Contest once. I was dressed as Hancock. And I've never seen the movie, but my roommate had. I guess I'm good at pretending to be black. Here's a Will Smith quote: "I really believe that a man and a woman together, raising a family, is the purest form of happiness we can experience."

4. James Marsden
This man has a nice smile, no? And I love his versatility with film! And he can sing. I think he was absolutely phenomenal in Enchanted! I freaking love that movie. But Ross doesn't, but I don't care. Anyway, this actor rocks my socks. And here's a quote from him: "If you're an attractive guy, everyone thinks you're successful just because of the way you look. I hate that."

3. Hugh Jackman
Wolverine!!! And kick butt awesome and a very attractive man. I recently saw Kate and Leopold, loved Mr. Jackman in that movie! He's got style. I also love him in the Prestige. Great movie. I just totally love his talent, and he sure does have talent! And here's a quote: "Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely
satisfying."

2. Ewan Mcgreggor
Did you know that his name is actually pronounced "you-an?" ya, I didn't. It's amazing what you can learn on IMDB. Holy cow, this guy is probably the most handsome actor out there! And is fantastic with a light saber. I am so amazed by his work! I mean Big Fish, Star Wars, Moulin Rouge, The Island; he's kind of amazing. This guy is a very talented man. I wish I could meet him one day. Here's a quote from him: "I've been waiting nearly twenty years to have my own light saber. Nothing's cooler than being a Jedi Knight."

1. Michael Caine
I FREAKING LOVE THIS ACTOR! I think the first movie I ever saw him in was the Muppet Christmas Carol. I sure loved that movie! And now he's in all of these fantastic films. The Prestige, Batman, Secondhand Lions, even Inception. He is by far my favorite actor of all time. He was born in 1933, and I hope he doesn't die anytime soon, I will surely miss him. I love his accent, and he has such an impressive talent for acting. He's great. Here's a quote: "Be like a duck, my mother used to tell me. Remain calm on the surface and paddle like hell underneath."

  1. Good choices. I agree on Tom Hanks (Love him), Ewan McGreggor (though I did know how it is pronounced because my good friend was/is obsessed with him), Michael Caine (Secondhand Lions is an all-time fav of mine), Will Smith (that one seems like a no-brainer really) and Alan Rickman (you should watch Quigley Down Under and Hitch-hiker's Guide) and Liam Neeson. Haven't seen their works that are R (except I'll admit Schindler's List which was gripping) but I LOVE the stuff I have seen. See- validation comes in many forms- sometimes on blogs.
