Subject: Who's Your Favorite Actor/Actress & Why?

Posted by: juniorthejaws
Date: Mar 07 04

My favorite actor is Sidney Poitier. I have read his biography "Measure of a Man," which tells of his family's arrival in Florida and how he tried to obtain acting roles, but was told that he needed to learn how to speak first. Poitier is probably best remembered for portraying Mark Thackerary in "To Sir, With Love." Everytime this movie is on I watch it. Sidney is mesmerizing as Thackerary and how he teaches his students, even though they make his life hell on wheels, and how he finally wins their approval and friendship. It also shows how he teaches them to love their selves and to respect each other and how anything and everything in life can be yours if you try and want it bad enough.

Who is your favorite actor/actress and why?

My favorite actress is Angelina Jolie in "Laura Croft Tomb Raider" because she was so strong and very good in that movie.

Subject: Who is Chuck Norris?
Date: Oct 23 07
I saw a thread like this awhile ago and thought it was pretty good. Who is Chuck Norris?
I'll start.

The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
Chuck Norris doesn't wear a watch. He decides what time it is.

silentdogood Guns don't kill people. Chuck Norris kills people.

There is no theory of evolution. Just a list of animals Chuck Norris allows to live.

I should point out that I have it on good authority that Chuck Norris is NOT a funtrivia member so he will never read these posts.

I recently watched on HBO on Demand "Regarding Henry" with Harrison Ford.

Every time I see that film, I realise what a talented actor Ford truly is.

I have seen most everything that he has appeared in, and has improved so much in his acting over the years.

Such an amazing talent!

My favourite actress is Julia Roberts. I love her movies athey are all good movies. She also uses a quote that I use as well I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn't matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.

I don't have a favorite actor really, but if I had to choose it would be Owen and Luke Wilson. They are so funny and they are pretty down to earth.

My favorite actresses are Scarlett Johannssen, Jessica Alba, and Katherine Heigl. They all seem so nice. And they are the ones that you never seen getting drunk or anything. They are also very good at acting.

Humphrey Bogart - just an ordinary bloke with an
extraordinary talent.He could portray the ' ordinary Joe'
with passion - not like many of today's plastic,impossible
characters.Without CGI and FX,not many of todays actors
bring a 'presence' to the screen.One major exception to
that - Robert De Nero.A true genius!

Melody. Shes trying to become a star. I chose her because shes indepentent and following her dreams. I want to support her in all ways because her music can be an inspiration to people.

She was utterly beautiful in the Pirates movies. Haven't seen Atonement - will be interesting to see her flex her acting muscles.
