Since there doesn't seem to be a thread for this...
Or has my searching failed me again?

Who are your favorite actors/actresses?
What movies do you especially like their performances in?
What types of roles do you most enjoy?

Some of mine would be: (will be adding more)

Helena Bonham Carter- She does crazy roles, and I like it.
Jim Carrey- Funny and crazy...
Robert De Niro- "tuna casserole!!!"
Brad Pitt- XD. Perfection...
Bruce Willis- Especially in The Whole Nine Yards. (and so many more)
Matthew Perry- makes me laugh, also in that movie.
Johnny Depp- I've liked him in too many films~
Mel Gibson- So many good films...
Adam Sandler- Just so funny...
Drew Barrymore.
Zooey Deschanel- well... She's so cute>.<
Rachel McAdams.
Edward Norton.
Audrey Tautou.
Thierry Lhermitte- Was hot back in the 70s, and still hot for me even now. "3

I guess you could say I like disturbed characters. 🙄
And also comedic. Dramatic is also very good, but I see it so often...

Hrodulf and Bjornolfr, you will not be forgotten.

If I had a fantasy self, it'd be a tentacle monster.

I've never been that big on actors/actress'.

I agree that Jim Carrey is funny to watch. I think the first film I saw him in was Ace Venturer Pet Detective.

Whenever someone asks me if I like X actor, I usually reply "who?". Then they have to start listing films until I understand who they're talking about.

Like the guy from The Mummy and George of the Jungle.

Lose - Opposite of win, to misplace something/someone. e.g. To lose your way, to lose a fight.
Loose - Opposite of tight. e.g. To have a loose screw, to loosen a jar lid.

^ Not just scanlators, but also company documents are getting it wrong now!

Johnny Depp - Edward Scissorhands (and pretty much everything else 🤣 )
Brad Pitt - Thelma & Louise, Seven
Rachel McAdams - The Notebook and Mean Girls(funniest movie ever)
Heath Ledger - The Joker

Is TV Shows alloved too? in that case then the entire cast of How I Met Your Mother! 😀

I really like a funny(but not too goofy) character, but i usually like the villan in the movies i see too 🤣

From the top of my head:

Adam Sandler - You Don't Mess with the Zohan, The Longest Yard, Little Nicky, etc...
Jim Carrey - Yes Man, Bruce Almighty, Me, Myself & Irene, etc..
Mike Myers - Austin Powers, The Love Guru and Shrek

I guess I like people who make me laugh.

Sean Connery - 007
Harrison Ford - Indiana Jones, The Fugitive
Bruce Lee - Although there was little acting by him.
Will Smith - All his action movies.
Bruce Willis - Die Hard series
Robert Downey Jr - Iron Man, Tropic Thunder etc...
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson - The Rundown, Walking Tall
Chuck Norris - Too long a list
Sly Stallone - Rocky and Rambo
Jackie Chan - All the Hong Kong cinema, Rush Hour
Chris Tucker - Rush Hour(s)
John Travolta - Pulp Fiction
Samuel L. Jackson - SOAP, Pulp Fiction, Star Wars, Afro Samurai, Die Hard series.
Jet Li.
Action movies all day.

For television series:
Richard Dean Anderson - MacGyver, Stargate SG1
Chuck Norris - Walker, Texas Ranger
Timothy Hutton - Leverage
David Boreanaz - Angel, Bones
Emily Deschanel - Bones
Tom Cavanaugh and Eric McCormack - Trust Me

Beneath knowing, understanding
Beneath understanding, seeing
Beneath seeing, recognizing
Beneath recognizing, knowing

Jim Carry
Will Smith
Bruce Wills
Jackie Chan
Leslie Nielson
Sylvester Stallone (these Rocky movies are so awesome)

Helena Bonham Carter- She does crazy roles, and I like it.

<3!!! She is a fave of mine as well.

I really liked Christian Bale before the whole Batman fame. He was great in The Machinist and American Psycho.

Edward Norton - Fight Club and American History X

Paul Rudd - He is just too cute and funny. I like him in most of his roles.

Audrey Tautou - so adorable. I love Amelie.

I don't really know what kind of characters I like though...lol. I think it has more to do with the content of the film. I prefer to watch action and comedy films. And I love foreign films.

Al Pacino, Denzel Washington, Keanu Reeves, Vin Diesel, ... No female ones come to mind though. Guess they aren't as memorable. 😮

Clint eastwood - The Good The bad and the ugly
Bruce Willis - Pulp Fiction
Morgan Freeman - The shawshank redemption
Russel Crowe - Gladiator

Actors:

Brad Pitt: Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Ocean's 11-13, Snatch, Seven
Ton Hanks: Apollo 13, Saving Private Ryan, Forrest Gump, The Green Mile --> probably the movies more than the actor himself
Morgan Freeman: all his stuff in general, can't think of any sucky performances for him...
High Laurie: House (TV) --> only seasons 1-3, since imho seasons 4 and 5 are inferior in quality

Actresses:
Glenn Close, Rose Byrne: Damages (TV)

Weird that only two women come to mind based solely on acting ability. Other actresses that come to mind generally have a primary hotness factor involved when considering them...

I guess it's the same for me...I can't really say if some actress is good at acting when I'm primarily assessing her physical attributes 😔
