Christian Bale is my go to lead actor, just a phenomenal actor with a crazy range. Dude played Batman, Ken Miles, and Dick Fucking Cheney.

Favorite secondary actor goes to Walton Goggins by far. He just elevates every show or movie he's in. Uncle Baby Billy is one of the best characters to come out of this century.

Actress is probably Emma Stone, wasn't a huge fan of Poor Things but she was great in it. I mainly like her for some of her older comedy movies.

Sigourney Weaver is amazing! I think I'm gonna get a tattoo of her in alien at some point. With Jonesy OBVIOUSLY

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 1 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

She is amazing, I would love to meet her.

And that's a great choice of tattoo!

Keanu Reeves.

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 14 hours ago

I have a hard time choosing between Heath Ledger and Harry Dean Stanton.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 11 points 20 hours ago

Gary Oldman, maybe?

[–] frenchfryenjoyer@lemmings.world 1 points 13 hours ago

It's a tie between Jim Carrey and Nicolas Cage

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Right now? Pedro Pascal

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 2 points 18 hours ago

Excellent choice! He's my current favourite I'd watch him acting washing dishes

[–] Cherry@piefed.social 3 points 19 hours ago

Nicholas cage and Andrew Scott. They both make baddies that you love.

Been rewatching the wire. So a lot of these people on my mind.

Andre Royo playing bubbles is my favorite depiction of addiction put to film. His grief speech in season 5 is just gut wrenching.

Lance Reddick brought a stoic commanding presence to almost anything he was in.

Wood Harris is great in anything, big or small role.

[–] LadyButterfly@piefed.blahaj.zone 1 points 16 hours ago

I looooooved Omar he was an incredible actor.

[–] remon@ani.social 3 points 20 hours ago

Nathan Fillion.

"Who's"

I don't know if he'd be at the absolute top of the list. Hard to give that as an off-the-cuff answer. I guess Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs) would probably be up there, though. That's a role that really depended heavily on his acting to work.

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 18 hours ago

Jack Black! He might not play my favourite shows/movies/roles, bur he's a cool person

[–] vivalapivo@lemmy.today 1 points 20 hours ago

Nathan Fielder for now
