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.

On page 1 of 1 pages. 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- deborelli A lot of people like Sanjaya. He has a few different fansites. His official fansite is www.dazeoffire.com. There is a lot going on with him. He has moved to LA and is in talks with MTV to have a show with his sister Shyamali. He is working on an album. He was on the news a few nights ago in LA, and he was on the Idol Wrap show on the TV Guide channel last week. He is going to appear at a charity event hosted by Jordin Sparks. Dazeoffire.com is a great place to keep up with his career. He's written a lot of blogs over there. Reply #1. Jan 26 08, 12:37 AM Delete - Edit Roni11 I'd say his 15 minutes are up... Reply #2.

Jan 26 08, 11:42 AM Delete - Edit fungirl111 How can you even call him a celebrity? And no I don't like him. I really cant believe that he actually thought he was a good singer Reply #4. Jan 26 08, 1:06 PM Delete - Edit lesley153 Deborelli, yours was an interesting and informative post. trivialvr, if you're not going to write an interesting and informative post, you can't sulk, or try to score points, when somebody else does. Sanjaya seems to have a lot of fans but methinks they aren't interested in his singing ability. This is probably my favourite Sanjaya clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lAT27LhkQ-4 Reply #5. Jan 26 08, 1:28 PM Delete - Edit callie_ross I know some people do, but I hear more criticism of him than good things being said. I, for one, don't really care for him or his singing. I found him to be a very annoying person. I don't know why! Reply #6. Jan 26 08, 2:41 PM Delete - Edit lesley153 I have a theory, callie: it could be because he's a very annoying person. He can sing but chooses not to. America's answer to Chico. Reply #7. Jan 26 08, 2:56 PM Delete - Edit Roni11 Lesley- That video was hillarious, I think the most interesting thing is the guy in it is a better performer pretending to be Sanjaya than Sanjaya is really performing as himself. Reply #8. Jan 26 08, 3:08 PM Delete - Edit lesley153 Thanks, Roni, I'm glad you liked it. Actually, I'm delighted that you looked at it. I suspect that a lot of people would have taken it at face value - a serious favourite - and not bothered to click it. And that would be a great shame. I'll know better next time. Reply #9. Jan 26 08, 3:12 PM Delete - Edit just4witchypoo I feel sorry for the boy...I think he thinks he can really sing. Reply #10. Jan 26 08, 3:44 PM Delete - Edit trivialvr I refuse to watch that movie.

Posted by: fabulosity20 Subject: Johnny Depp Date: Jan 18 08 Ok. I'm practically in love with Johnny. Do you think he looks good as a pirate or just his regular self. Pirate for me definitely. PS Loved him in Pirates by the way. haha (edit) (delete) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8 replies. On page 1 of 1 pages. 1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- cmt101 its funny, because i really like him in Pirates of the Caribbean, but i think he looks older and less desirable in real life Reply #1. Jan 18 08, 8:06 PM Delete - Edit catlady5 Johnny Depp is an actor that can do anything he makes his mind up to. As a pirate, WOW! He was funny, adorable and I loved the way he spoke. The best scene, I thought, was as he pulled up to the dock and his boat was sinking, he steps off like nothing was wrong. Great! Most of the other movies I did like except for one, that was just to far out there, Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Couldn't handle that. I think the first one I saw him in was Edward Scissorhands. I still cry any time I see that movie. His talent just goes on and on. I think he looks good in costume or not. I just wish he would get rid of the cigaretts. Reply #2. Jan 18 08, 8:16 PM Delete - Edit looby_lucifer I disagree... The man smokes, so what? There are people in this world that rape/ murder/ destroy in the name of whatever God is hip at the time.... But going at someone for smoking a Cig???? Ugh... It's self inflicted, let a person damage themselves! Get some perspective on life, it isn't harming you. Reply #3. Jan 18 08, 8:34 PM Delete - Edit slinkycat I love him! Wonderful versatile actor.I agree about Edward Scissorhands,I cried too!But Captain Jack stole my heart. But deep down I think he is a genuine really nice guy,you never seem to hear bad press or scandal about him. Reply #4. Jan 18 08, 8:56 PM Delete - Edit slytherinwitch I adore him in Edward Scissorhands...still have not seen Pirates. I know...what am I waiting for? He was good in 21 Jump Street, too. Reply #5. Jan 18 08, 9:39 PM Delete - Edit callie_ross Looby_Lucifer, that verbal attack on Catlady5 was quite uncalled for! She is entitled to her opinion as well as you are. I'll never understand why people on these boards have to bash others for having different opinions than themselves! Anyway, back to the subject of this thread. Johnny Depp is a very talented actor and he is not a bad looking guy. He's not the best looking but he's not ugly, either! :) Reply #6. Jan 18 08, 10:23 PM Delete - Edit keith_urban_91 I think he's a good actor, one of my favorite actors. He played his best roll, in my opinion, in Pirates Of The Caribbean III: At Worlds End. I did watch Edwaqard Scissorhands though, and that movie just made me sad. Reply #7. Jan 25 08, 10:33 PM Delete - Edit fontenilles "The Man Who Cried" is possibly my favourite of his films. Not sure how to rate his looks - prefer blondes myself :-) Robin Reply #8. Jan 25 08, 11:09 PM Delete - Edit Reply #244. Jan 27 08, 4:53 PM |

Why has the Sanjaya thread been amalgamated with this one? Sanjaya is a (sort of) singer. At least he's not a good singer, but he was a participant in American Idol. Reply #245. Jan 27 08, 5:22 PM |

Johnny Depp is definitely my favorite actor. I am addicted to Sweeney Todd and love him in every movie. Plus he is very very good looking. I might be a tiny bit obsessed. Reply #246. Jan 27 08, 5:40 PM |

Charles Bronson has always been my favourite actor. I love action packed movies and I started watching his when I was a lot younger. I love James Bond movies, Stallone, Schwartzenegger, Norris, Cruise and Willis to name a few. Reply #249. Feb 02 08, 3:52 AM |

My fav actor is Vincent D'Onofrio, he's just incredible and no matter what the part he plays it to perfection. He's great as Robert 'Bobby' Goren in Criminal Intent. He can handcuff me anyday ;-) For me, Vincent's the total package :-) Reply #251. Feb 06 08, 10:39 PM |

Jimmy Stewart-"It's a Wonderful Life" is my very favorite movie of all time, and I never saw it until I was in my 30's! Every time I find something I've been looking for "ZuZu's Petals!" comes out of my mouth. "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance", "Harvey", "The Shootist", just to name a few. What a wonderful actor. What a wonderful life! Reply #252. Feb 09 08, 12:22 AM |

I think I've answered this thread before but I have tried to go back and find it and can't. While I'm currently hot for Clive Owen ("Closer" hooked me, and I've been smitten ever since), watching Jimmy Stewart in "It's a Wonderful Life" was probably my most moving "movie" experience, and I have to watch it every Christmas season. I would recommend "The Man who Shot Liberty Valance", "Harvey", "Mr. Smith goes to Washington" or any of his other movies-and don't be afraid of the black & white ones! I really enjoyed his appearances on "The Tonight Show" with Johnny Carson. Honorable mention: Tom Cruise for "Born on the Fourth of July"-he really should have won the Oscar for that performance. Tom Hanks-he's given us so many great characters, it's hard to choose a favorite. Jeff Bridges one of my favorites since "Starman". Reply #253. Feb 11 08, 9:49 PM |
