Question: Why is it when you think of a favorite actress, it feels different... like lesser quality, or quality in a different way perhaps?

Fassbender, even though he's been starring in lots of capeshit and video game movies lately.

I never paid attention to this guy but I started following him after Drive and he's pretty good

>>63435456
his shit is starting to feel repetitive, he range and its limits are starting to become obvious.

>>63435471
Yeah, he is great, what is up with him taking shit roles?

Van Damme has a TV pilot coming up
Hope it takes off
>>
>>63435180
Christopher Walken if he didn't retire yet.
Otherwise Michael Faßßbender and Clive Owen.

>>63435511
I like GOOSE too, but what are his other roles than whatever Refn puts him in? I think he played in some romantic comedy or something?
>>
>>63435438
Presumably most of us are men and male actors resonate with us more. Theres no shame in that
>>
>>63435526
>Yeah, he is great, what is up with him taking shit roles?

amassing "fuck you" money

>>63435697

Also, fewer and less interesting lead roles for women.

I would say its a combination of that and the leading roles women tend to land probably wouldn't interest much of /tv/ so they go by fairly unnoticed here.
>>
>>63435180
I have lots of actors that I like, but I'm not sure if I have one single favorite.

Who /LiamNeeson/ here though?

Shieeet, looks like I am way behind.

On a side note, I've seen Jackie Chan's Chinese Incident (or was it Tokyo Incident) where he acted and not made sick stunts and he was good. Think more things like that should be made.

It's really hard, but any of these:
Eva Green
Frog
Emily Blunt

Ewan McGregor (if you haven't seen Cassandra's Dream, do so promptly)
Oscar Isaac (I was on the fence, but AMVY sold me)
Ryan Gosling
Based Jake

Honorable mention to any classic actors, but I think maybe only one is left.

Memes aside, I really do think James McAvoy is great, just haven't seen him in anything that "clicked" for me.
Honorable mention to Colin Farrel & Mommy as well.
People have mentioned Bale a lot, but he only shines when a director directs him, however when they do, he's uncanny.

For shits, Sean Penn and Diane Keaton are my least favorite. They fucking suck. At least Jane Fonda could act.

Speaking of, Timothy Olyphant is really damn good. Too bad he missed out on movie roles/won't get any artsy shit now.
