Who's your favorite contemporary mathematician? Based on whatever; personality, accomplishments, etc. By contemporary I'm looking at mid 20th century onwards.

John Conway reminds me of Jared Harris as Professor Moriarty.

Edward Witten
Newton da Costa.

Turing, Godel, Church. In that order. I like Conway cause he is a grumpy old man.
Terence Tao
