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?

Hi my name is Freakazoid3. I don't care what it is you say, because you are wrong if you don't agree with me. Orlando Bloom is married, and he can't even do his own complex stunts so if you like him, no worries, i HATE him with a PASSION! No, no not Orlando Bloom.
Sean Astin is Very cute, especially in The Lord of the Rings and in The Goonies, but the GREATEST actor in the world is Viggo Mortensen.
"Who is he?" do you ask? Well, he is the divorced actor to Exene Cervenka, and the father to Henry Mortensen who is 16 years young (hea, look at that, he's my age!).
Viggo is a published poet, painter, photogropher, writer, and much more.
Viggo divorced Ecene in 1997 (and I don't blame him after seeing a picture), but still manages to be a wonderful father, and hard working actor. The only reason that he went to film L.O.T.R. last minute was because his son told him it was the chance of the lifetime! Otherwise, Viggo would have spent the 3 years that Peter Jackson spent filming L.O.T.R. with his son, Henry.
I'll let you all do the math to find out the year Viggo was born, but his son is 16, it is the year 2004, and Viggo is about 29 years older than both me, and his son. I hope that you are good at math to figure out what year Viggo was born!

Freak...
Just because you do not like a certain celebrity, in this case it is Orlando Bloom, that is no reason to blast out how much you think he is a terrible actor. What you should have done was to not even mention his name, since he is not your favorite, but rather just mention Viggo.

And also, Viggo was born in October of 1958.

My favourite actor is Giovanni Ribisi because he gets into the mind of the person he portrays and acts really well. Also Joaquin Phoenix is a good actor too.

Johnny Depp beause he picks the movies that he's intrested in instead of jumping from movie-2-movie.

My favorite actress is Sanaa Lathan cause she keeps it real.

Why do you think Lindsay Lohan is a goo actress?

I like Lindsay better. She's a better actress. She's a better singer. She seems nicer, and isn't all ditzy.

I don't like either of them, but if I had to choose, I would deifnately say Amanda, I really don't like Hilary at all!

Definatly Amanda. I mean, I don't like Hilary at all, so Amanda wins hands-down.

I'm not a fan of either, but if I had to choose, Amanda. At least she's kinda funny, and knows how to act.

Personally, I have to disagree with all of you. Amanda is just plain annoying to me. Hilary at least makes me laugh, so I have to say Hilary.

Hilary Duff and Amanda Bynes are a couple of my role models. They both are totally great actresses. Hilary seems to have more of a girly side, while Amanda on the other hand seems to have a comedic side. Amanda's movie, What A Girl Wants was a great success! Along with Hilary's movies, Casper Meets Wendy, The Lizzie McGuire Movie along with Cheaper By The Dozen. Both Girls Have Had Their Own Television Programs. Many young girls and myself look up to these girls. Amanda Bynes and Hilary Duff have both made a major impact to everyone everywhere! They must feel proud to be role models to so many girls! They both are beautiful, talented actresses, who will probably be around for a while. So, in this Post, Amanda or Hilary? Both girls win. There's no way to choose between these 2 awesome teens!

I hate Hilary, no offense to all Hilary fans. I don't like her because I love Lindsay Lohan and Hilary told her security people to tell Lindsay to go away in Hilary's primiere of Cheaper By The Dozen! That is just plain mean. She's jealous because Lindsay makes more success than her. Hilary doesn't even use her own hair color! She's a brunette. That girl would never be my role model! Anyway, I'm not a big Amanda fan either, but at least she didn't tell any of her security people to tell another girl who is more popular and definetly prettier than her to go away in her movie premiere.

I personally don't like her. She seems very stuck up. And, no offense to anyone who adores her, but she can't act, or sing. Her acting is a little fake. And her singing...you can definately tell it's computer generated. I just don't like her.

I agree with 3sCompany. Hilary (is it spelled Hillary or Hilary?) Duff is really stuck up. And i really think it's true that her acting is really fake. In the Lizzie McGuire Movie, for example, her acting and singing was really fake.

I agree with Malamute and 3'scompany, however i haven't seen her act so i can't judge that.But i do think she is a pretty girl but i think that her sudden rush with stardom has gone to her head. I've heard several of her songs and i didn't really like any of them. Did any one else hear what happened with her contract with disney? If so do you know the details? Thanks ~Amber~
