actors & actresses chosen by![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
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 hearandy_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!

Date: 2010-06-24 03:35 am (UTC)Jennifer Garner -- Haven't liked a whole lot, but 13 Going on 30 is one of my favs to watch multiple times. The Thriller scene is epically awesome. I also really enjoyed Catch & Release. (I never watched Alias more than a couple episodes here and there. She was raised in WV and went to High School with Sam from True Blood. haha. So I feel inclined to TRY whatever she is in. Yes, this means I watched Elektra. It actually wasn't AS bad as I thought it was going to be. I honestly could not even finish Daredevil.) Also I didn't even remember that she was in "Dead Man's Walk" until looking her up on IMDB. I loved that mini-series, but more for Johnny Lee Miller (was never hotter than when I watched that in '96) and David Arquette who had great chemistry. Now I want to watch it again to see if it is as good as I remember it being. *sigh*
Colin Firth -- *see icon* That is all.
Tom Cruise -- The only movie I have ever liked him in was Tropic Thunder. True story. I do want to see this Night and Day movie with Cameron Diaz though.
