actor meme

Comment and I will give you ten actors and ten actresses. Then post in your Livejournal with your favorite films of theirs.

actors & actresses chosen by pylarwoman for me:

Actors:

Liam Neeson - oh so many, depends on my mood! It's hard to deny the beauty and intensity of him as Oskar Schindler. But, then again, I tear up every time he plays the lonely single step-father in Love Actually. And he was such a great villain in Batman Begins.

Bradley Cooper - Haven't seen very many of his movies, just The Hangover which was fun, but I don't know if I'll ever watch it again. The first time I ever saw him was in Kitchen Confidential, another show that hardly had a chance on FOX. But he was good as the Not-Quite-Anthony-Bourdain character. He's sort of like Ryan Reynolds to me - very pretty but I feel like Hollywood wants him to be famous a bit too much and is forcing him down our throats...erm, eyeballs.

David Tennant - hm...looking at IMDB, it appears I've only seen Tennant in Harry Potter and then for the half of Hamlet that I watched. I've only seen one episode of his run of Doctor Who.

Simon Pegg - While I enjoyed Shaun of the Dead, I prefer Pegg in Hot Fuzz. I've seen more buddy cop movies than zombie movies so the humor easier for me to get.

Dylan Moran - Have to do a TV show here because Dylan is Bernard in Black Books.

Brad Pitt - Hands down Tyler Durden in Fight Club . When I think of Brad Pitt, that is the first image that pops into my head.

Colin Firth- my introduction to Colin Firth was Shakespeare in Love (I can hear andy_wolverton making a face from here), and, like Neeson, his role in Love Actually is what makes that movie so great (I mean, really it's sort of a silly movie but it's the solid cast that makes it so darn watchable!). We just saw A Single Man earlier this year and it was fantastic.

Ashton Kutcher - Not Applicable.

Tom Cruise - never been a big Tom Cruise fan but I'd have to go with either Minority Report or War of the Worlds. I feel like Spielberg was able to see the action star in Cruise by not force us to look at the pretty boy aspect as much, which is why I enjoy those movies.

Sylvester Stallone - wow...I've seen...hm...about five minutes of the newest Rocky movie, mostly looking for Milo Ventimiglia...and Judge Dredd, which I would hardly call a good movie. Sorry Sly, I promise to watch the real Rocky one day.

Actresses:

Eliza Dushku - Yeah, I'd have to go with TV here too because she will always be Faith to me (even if AD calls her Missy)

Dawn French - Vicar of Dibley! Or the voice of the one crazy lady in Coraline.

Alyssa Milano - Who? *googles* yeah, I can honestly say I've managed to not watch anything she's ever been in.

Cameron Diaz - Being John Malkovich!!!!!!!!

Katherine Heigl - Knocked Up? It's the only thing I've seen her in, she seems to pick just dreadful parts. RESPECT YOURSELF WOMAN, READ THE SCRIPT BEFORE SIGNING!

Amanda Seyfried - She'll always be Veronica Mars' dead BFF Lily to me.

Jennifer Garner - Nothing. I saw Daredevil. I never want to see Elektra. And I doubt I'll watch 'Alias' since I heard it goes downhill after the first couple seasons.

Olivia Wilde - again with the Google...I've only ever seen her on House. But I guess I will be seeing her in Tron:Legacy (unless it gets horrid reviews)

Judi Dench - Judi makes EVERY movie better. Is she in the movie? Than it's awesome because the woman never phones it in. If she's the star or just playing M, I loves her!!!

Lena Olin- okay, now you're just making up names *googles* oh, she's real...never seen her in anything though. *shrugs*

Man, I FAILED at this meme!
