My fave actors

My not-so-normal taste in actors

Not in order unless stated otherwise

ACTORS
(based purely on acting talent alone!)

1. Steve Buscemi
   (Became a fan ever since I saw Reservoir Dogs. Mr Pink! I got a personally autographed and dedicated photo from him!!!! I can't believe he's been in over 60 films! I think I've seen about 20 of them)
2. Oliver Platt (he's cool!)
   The rest are out of order

• Matthew Lillard
  (but he always seems to play these crazy guys who are into horror movies)
• Patrick Van Horn
  (even tho' I've only seen him in Swingers, he was good!)
• John Cusack
  (I've always liked him. He's kinda cute too. I liked him in all those crappy films like "Class" and "Better Off Dead" and all!)
• Jim Carrey
  (he's versatile. I liked him best in "Liar Liar", tho' that was probably one of his "easier" roles)
• Ed Norton
  He was so good in Primal Fear. He almost makes me want to see Keeping the Faith but that Darma-chick is in it so...
• Jonny Lee Miller
  (First saw him in "Hackers." He's English. He's married!)
• Jesse Bradford
  (First saw him in "Hackers." He hasn't been in much!)
• Steve Martin
  (Is that white hair natural? At least you'll never know when he gets gray or silver or whatever!)
• Carey Elwes
  (He's English too. First saw him in, actually I can't remember! He always plays either a complete sap-"Liar Liar"/Seinfeld/"Twister"-or he's a bad guy-"Kiss the Girls." Okay, okay, so he was in "The Princess Bride"-wasn't Andre the Giant in that?! And "Robin Hood..."-I don't think I need to cmment on that one!)
• Harold Perrineau
  (He was good in Romeo & Juliet and unrecognisable in Smoke.)
• Wallace Shawn
  (He's a funny actor, plays weird characters. Has a lispy voice and is short and bald. He was in Woody Allens's Shadows and Fog.
• Joe Mantegna
  (He can be funny, mean, cool or a combination thereof!)
• Samuel L.Jackson
  (He's always good. But he was freaky with long hair in "Jackie Brown" !)
• Josh Charles
  (first saw him in DPS, he's hot but he's also pretty talented!)
• Nicholas Cage
  (It's nice to know that a semi-balding man can still be a sex symbol to some. I thought he looked good in "Face/Off" tho')
• Michael Madsen
  (he's just cool! Tho' I can't believe that he's moved to tv!)
• That guy from Boogie Nights and Happiness and he's also in The Talented Mr. Ripley.
  What's his name? He's pretty funny. He's kind of weird and 'fluffy'(?!)
  Philip Seymour!
• William H. Macy
  (He's everywhere! And he's good too.)
• Tobey Maguire
  (He's talented!)
• Jay Mohr
  (He was in go and 200 Cigarettes and a few others! He's kind of unassuming.)
• Giovanni Ribisi
  (He was in The Wonder Years! My Two Dads! Then he was in X-Files, then he became big.)
• Jon Voight
  (He's cooler than when he was young! He was in Midnight Cowboy in case u didn't know. Now he plays a lot of villians!)
• Ving Rhames
  (He was the best part of Mission Impossible!)
• Adam Arkin
  (His son is in Chicago Hope-look's the same as when Adam was young! Adam was in The Heart is a Lonely Hunter but he's like Jon Voight-cooler as he got older.)
• Jude Law
  (Only seen him in "Gattaca" but he was really good!)
  
  Now I've also seen him in The Talented Mr. Ripley for which he got nominated for Best Supporting Actor, so I'm obviously on the ball!

I also don't mind:

• John Travolta
  (tho' he's always playing the same character! ie. a bit of a "loveable rogue." Y'know, a bad guy but with a sense of humour, so you can't hate him entirely or an cool offbeat guy with a sense of humour. eg. Face/Off, Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty etc etc)
• Andrew McCarthy
  (same type of deal as John Cusack. Has a reputation for being aloof tho')
• Will Smith
  (I liked Fresh Prince of Bel Air! It was corny! I knew he'd be big after I saw "Bad Boys." Now look at him!)
• Antonio Banderas
  (I used to think he was pretty hot. Mainly cos he played Armand, who seems like he should be pretty hot. He looks so much like Melanie Griffith, it's scary! She is so vulgar, I think.)
• James Spader
  (He seems pretty intelligent)
• Jeremy London
  (After I saw "Mallrats" Which one of them is in Party Of Five?! They're twins, donchaknow!)
• Jon Lovitz
  (He's pretty funny)
• Dana Carvey
  (He's funny. I remember the first time I saw him in "Moving House" {at least that's what I think it was called! Not exactly a hit or anything. But it's pretty funny} He played this schizophrenic guy and at the end he starts singing a round robin of "Row row row your boat" with all his different characters! Kills me!)
• Martin Short
  (He's just cool. He is the creator of Ed Grimley!)

OLD/DEAD

1. Peter Lorre
   (I used a picture of him for the actors link. I just think he's such a weird little guy. He's got charisma! That whiny "yes master" voice! The eyes! Why is it that he just seems to epitomise the Igor character in those classic horror movies? Did he ever play such a character? I had a dream where I was a famous director and I had just finished shooting for the day. The two principle actors were Alfred Hitchcock and Peter Lorre{some of you more learned would know that P.Lorre worked with Al on a number of occasions} because I was a huge fan of both of theirs {which I am}. Anyway, I ask each of them for their autograph. Hitchcock was calm and signs, "Al Hitch" but Peter Lorre was apparently a huge fan of mine and seemed shocked, "you want MY autograph?!" he says in that whiny Steve Urkel-esque way. What a crack-up!)
2. Vincent Price
   (He's a legend, isn't he? I reckon he must've been a really good sport too. Like, he was in Edward Scissorhands, need I say more?! But he also did the voiceover for Jacko's Thriller! I like his accent too-that oldschool half-English-half-American accent that a lot of them had. Eg. Grace Kelly, James Stewart, James Mason and all.)

• Cary Grant
  (He's was considered a sex symbol and romantic leading man and all but he's really good at the comedy roles-"Charade", "Arsenic & Old Lace" etc)
• Sidney Poitier
  (I love his manner of speech, sounds dignified. But I think he couldn't speak English or something when he first came to America! Hey! They also did a take on him in South Park!)
• Donald O'Conner
  (I think he was the best in Singin' in the Rain. He's got an infectious smile and enthusiasm! He was kinda sweet and cute too.)
• Danny Kaye
  (Apparently I used to have an obsession with him at some stage. The only film I remember is "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" Did he also play Hans Christian Anderson or something?)
• James Cagney
  ("Top o' the world, ma!" It's still amazing to think that he's also such a great dancer and singer! Did he ever say "you doity rat?" or is that attributed to Bogart?)
• James Mason
  (That accent again! I liked that movie where he plays a butler but he's also a spy. Based on a true story!!)

ACTRESSES

1. Julianne Moore
   (I became a fan after seeing "Assassins"-she was so cool!)
2. Jennifer Tilly
   (I think I first saw her in "Bullets Over Broadway" even tho' she's been in quite a few films. I also liked her in "Liar Liar")
3. Dianne Wiest
   (She's great. I love the way she squints her eyes. She has such a sweet sounding voice too. I first remember her in "Parenthood" I always get confused with that and "Father of the Bride," namely cos S.Martin is in both of 'em and they're comedies and they're about families and couples and stuff)
4. Natalie Portman
   (reluctantly so, cos how can it be allowed that one person can possess beauty, talent, maturity, fame AND fortune! It's just not fair. But I didn't really like her in "Leon" In Japanese I'd call her character "namaiki" and a bit of a pain in the ass!)

• Heather Graham
  (I first saw her in Swingers and she was pretty cute. Then I noticed that she was in Scream 2 but she didn't really stand out there. Now she's pretty much everywhere!
• Meg Tilly
  (Do they have any Asian blood? Cos they both look like they have some Asian facial features.)
• Ashey Judd
  (A very short but impressive performance in Smoke)
• Reese Witherspoon
  (I've only seen her in Fear and Freeway(she's great! hilarious). Damn! She's only 22! She's pregnant! She's getting married!)
• Christina Ricci She's kind of an indie figure isn't she?
• Alyson Hannigan Well, I like her Willow character and she was funny in "American Pie".
• Joan Cusack She's funny.
• Mira Sorvino
  (Isn't she glad she didn't end up looking any more like her father! She must have the most well proportioned body on the planet. I'm jealous)
• Cameron Diaz
  (Kind of reluctantly cos she has everything going for her! But she seems like a really nice person too-damnit!)
• Annette Bening
  (I've hardly seen any of her films but she was just great in American Beauty! Man, she has stick legs!)
• Stockard Channing
  (She's like a 'stayer'. And she's always so good!)
• Patricia Arquette
  (She is kind of weird but cool.)
• Lili Taylor
  (A big indie actress. She's very talented! And she's always so different!)
• Ileana Douglas
  (Another indie actress! Does her own thing.)
• Frances McDormand
  (Yet another indie actress! Oscar winner too.)
• Jennifer Beals
  (Can you believe she was ever in Flashdance!? She's been in a lot of independent films lately. I think she's cool!)
• Rose McGowan
  (I'll forgive her for going out with that freak Marilyn Manson! Bur she must do something about her taste in clothes!!)
• Minnie Driver
  (Kind of divided on this one. She's kind of cool but she seems to have some issues. "Heinz Tomato Ketchup-some of it has issies"!)
• Marisa Tomei
  (In "Four Rooms" only-I didn't even recognise her! That's probably a sign of any really good performance. Like Danny DeVito in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest"-I still can't believe it was him!)

OLD/DEAD

1. Geraldine Paige
   (I think I've only seen her in "Whatever Happended to Aunt Alice"-she was terrific!! "It's pronounced 'likyur'!" -phonetically spelt, mind you)

• Audrey Hepburn
• Grace Kelly

  
  

  HOT GUYS

  1. Paul Newman
     (When he was young. He looked like one of those Greek God statues! Doesn't that guy on the American Express credit cards/traveller's cheques look like him so bad??!! Has anyone else noticed that?)
  2. Josh Charles
     (A fan ever since DPS!!! He's still my ideal kind of guy, Knox, that is. I don't know much about JC at all really)
  • Keanu Reeves
    (I used to be totally obsessed with him, but I'm not anymore. I even got "Mrs. Keanu" embroidered onto my Year 12 jersey-small print!)
  • William McNamara
    (He was hot in "Copycat"!!! I haven't seen him in anything else)
  • Carey Elwes
    (I used to pronounce it "yuwuls" but I think it's, um, the way it's spelt! He was hot when he was all angry in Kiss the Girls)
  • Jesse Bradford
    (He was hot in Romeo & Juliet tho' I'm sure e'one focused on Leo's non-existent bare-at-least-it's-not-hairy chest. He was cool in Hackers too. He hasn't been in much!)
  • Vince Vaughn
    (Swingers! He was excellent. I hope he has a little bit of Trent in him. Not a good look in The Lost World or Psycho)

  
  

  HOT GALS

  
  (from an admiring perspective)
  1. Elizabeth Taylor
     (When she was young! I think a lot of women considered "beautiful" today have a look that is more to do with personal taste-y'know, a face might be "Beautiful" to one person and "ordinary" to another. Whereas, in Liz' case, I'd say everyone would consider her to be gorgeous regardless of whether you like her type of face or not. Do y'know what I mean?!)
  2. Grace Kelly
     (Well, you can't really go wrong with her Noble blood and all. I also think women back then wore much more gorgeous fashion. Like, they knew how to dress! Now it's the looks-like-a-rag-but-costs-a-fortune-cos-it's-designer-shit look. Like what was that pink thing Gwyneth wore?! That was pathetic. It looked like a slip you wear to bed. Blanchett's was ok but I didn't think it needed that much praise. I'm insulted. I watch a lot of Japanese TV and believe me, the fashion is much more elaborate and it's not by any famous designer-it's more design than designer!)
  • Kahara(?) Norika
  • Audrey Hepburn
    (Yay! She was flat chested! hahaha!)
  • Julianne Moore
  • Heather Graham
  • Natalie Portman
  • Ashley Judd
  • Winona Ryder
  • Lara Flynn Boyle (but now she's too skinny!)
  • Jane Fonda (She was so gorgeous when she was young-she still looks pretty good!)
