Great actor thread

Whatever part he played, he played it with a combination of dignity, quiet authority and humility, to the point that you forgot he was playing a part.
He was so versatile and able to play in so many genres.

Excellent in Hitchcock's Spellbound .
My favourite Peck role was that of Atticus Finch in To Kill A Mockingbird.
Again dignity, authority and humility coming to the fore.
A truly great actor.

I'll add Cary Grant to the list of great actors.

Here is a link to his site on IMDB.

One of my favorite is Ernest Borgnine

Even Steve McQueen is a great actor

Many actors is doing great in some movie and less in some others.

You don't have to pick one single favorite if you have more than one favorite. Not really a poll to rate who is the best either. This just a place to post actors that you enjoy seeing in films. So if you have twenty favorites list them just not all at once or back to back.

I see this as kind of reference maybe someone will read another's post and decide they might want to view a few films of an actor they may not have heard of or where unaware of the complete résumé of an actor. You did don't have to be hoity toity either if you like action films or comidies and that type actor feel free to post.

Jeff Bridges, he seems to get better as he gets older.

Another favorite of mine Peter Sellers. I enjoy his comedic style. I espically like the Pink Panther films and Dr.Strangelove where he played three roles impressive. Sorry about the mess the picture linking process which is breeze on PC is a pain with an android tablet.

Great actor

Another GUARANTEE of a good movie; the next one I'll be watching (Friday Night is Film-night) will be "American History X"

Just watched him in "The 25th Hour", another great movie.

Well to me Jimbuna, a great actor has to have been consistently good in a number of films covering a variety of genres.

Often nowadays, the term great is used liberally in so many walks of life, especially football.

As film stars go, McQueen and Peck were just that. Consistently good in a wide variety of films.

Of the modern era, Tom Hanks is the closest to them
