Hollywood’s most talented.. in my eyes ;)

Whenever I watch a good actor/actress doing what they do best in a movie my mind can’t help but try to put them in a list. My list is a bit short and not in any particular order:

1.      Sean Penn (His character in “I am Sam” is just unbelievably believable).

2.      Anthony Hopkins (reads each script 250 times before filming) can you believe that?

3.      Colin Farrell (something about him makes me forget how good he is until I watch his next movie).

4.      Johnny  Depp (No I am not only talking about Jack Sparrow in pirates of the Caribbean but all of his other movies).

5.      Mel Gibson (He can make any movie watchable).

6.      Angelina Jolie (Although I feel her image of being a beautiful Hollywood woman tends to cover the fact that she is a very good actor. I also admire her endless charity work).

7.      Kevin Spacey (Have you seen “The Usual Suspects”?).

8.      Leonardo DiCaprio ( He was born an actor, if you don’t agree, check out “The Basketball Diaries”).

9.      Edward Norton

10.  Giovanni Ribisi

11.  All Malcolm in the Middle cast. (I don’t think it has to do with the directing because the series was directed by 15 different directors so it has to be the cast).

12.  Christian Bale (according to IMDb ‘dropped an amazing 63 pounds for his role as the emaciated insomniac Trevor Reznik in the film “The Machinist” (2004) with only a single vitamin consultation with a nutritionist to guide him. For the most part, he only ate salads and apples, chewed gum, smoked cigarettes, and drank nonfat lattes.’) What do you want more from an actor?

So who’s your favorite actor?
