Who is your most and lease favorite Actor or Actress ?

Well, he is a habitual heel.
He is 91 and retired from movies. Clint Eastwood is about to come out with yet another movie and he is in his 90s. I loved Newman, McQueen, Beatty, Nicholson, Brando and their movies in the 60s through the 80s. It was The time if the anti-hero.
These days I've moved on to Chris Pratt, Denzel Washington, Brad Pitt and Matt Damon. I try to see all of their stuff.
Looking forward to Hanks playing the Colonel in the upcoming Elvis biopic. 2022 release.
Hard to nail that down because I like so many movies
Favorite
Kurt Russell; followed by Sandra Bullock, Sam L Jackson, and Ryan Reynolds
Worst
Jennifer Lopez; followed by Matthew Perry and Amber Heard.
Feel dirty only naming a few of my favorites. There's at least 20 actors/actresses that are all around the same level for me.
I didn't realize until I looked at his Wikipedia entry he has been retired frim acting since 2004.
People in Santa Fe can't stand him. He is unapproachable but puts himself out there. Probably just wants to be left alone.
Agreed…but I did like Cage in those National Treasure movies and The Rock with Sean Connery. My wife hates Willis but I like him as well.
People probably wouldn't like me either if I was famous.
Agreed. I think Tom Hanks is the Jimmy Stewart of this generation. They may not be the most versatile actors ever, but they both play the all-American everyman good-guy about as well as can be done.
I'm also a big fan of Robert Duvall - he's another that plays pretty much the same character every time, but I like that character. Denzel Washington hits a lot of home runs as well.
As far as the _best_ current actor (not necessarily my favorite), I've got to go with Daniel Day Lewis.
Favorite supporting/character actor: Christopher Walken
Least Favorite: I don't understand why Ben Affleck is a star. His "it factor" escapes me.
I can't believe more people don't have Hanoi Jane Fonda as least favorite. Only was an actress because of her dad Henry Fonda who was a great actor. She was terrible. Anyone ever watch Barbarella? One of the worst acting jobs of all time. Henry carried her through On Golden Pond, and she still stunk it up.
dude, if you think Jonah Hill and Seth Rogen are interchangeable, you need to watch more Jonah Hill movies. He was absolutely outstanding in “The Wolf of Wall Street” and “Moneyball”. Probably deserved Oscars for both. Seth Rogen wouldn’t have pulled off either of those roles. Jonah Hill is an excellent actor who doesn’t get a ton of great roles because, honestly, he’s nothing to look at. But he’s a far better actor than Seth Rogen.
Robin Williams was a very underrated actor. A great one that hasn’t been mentioned yet. I like a good Mel Gibson movie too….even if in real life he’s crazy.
Hard to argue with Tom Hanks either.
I don’t know if I HATE an actor/actress, but I never thought much of Val Kilmer.

Lord only knows how much I despite Hanoi Jane.

I tell ya another one is Timothy Olyphant . He seems to kinda play the same character in every show but I love pretty much every show he’s in . “Justified” and “Deadwood” were two of my all time favorites. Speaking of Justified another great under the radar actor is Walton Goggins . Anybody that can go from playing a badass hillbilly gangster to a transvestite hooker (Venus on Sons of Anarchy) is a pretty versatile actor .
Favorite:
Tom Hanks
No-talent hack that only has a job because of Hollywood nepotism:
Bryce Dallas Howard

Favorite Male: Tom Hanks, Denzel, Tom Hardy
Favorite Female: Emma Stone, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron
Favorite Female: Emma Stone, Natalie Portman, Charlize Theron
Favorites: Edward Everett Horton, Victor McLaglen, and Walter Brennan (first actor to get three Academy Awards)
If you don't know McLaglen, his story is legendary. Fought heavy weight champ Jack Jackson in boxing, was Provost Marshall of Baghdad during WWI, won best actor for The Informer, and was probably the only actor John Ford favored even more than John Wayne.
Least favorite: most of current day actors except maybe a few nice guys like Chris Pratt.

Lyle Lovett's song One-Eyed Fiona is clearly about Julia Roberts (her real middle name is Fiona)
Fiona Lyrics
Way down yonder on the bayouThere lives a little girl-o
Skin so pale
Six feet high
Skinny as a rail
Just one eye
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
Her daddy gone to heaven
Her mama won't like you
Her brother he's crazy
He just might bite you
Her sister she's pretty
But she just won't do
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
Oh you can say she gonna love you
Because you made a little voodoo
Oh but what they didn't tell you
Is it ain't up to you dude
You better not cross her
You try to boss her
Then you better duck Mister
Here come a cup and saucer
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
She's the one-eyed Fiona
So if you're going to the bayou
Man I'll tell you all I know
She's got skin so pale
She's six feet high
And she'll look right through you
With just one eye
So you haven't seen The French Connection? He stars in that movie and got the Best Actor Academy Award for his starring role.
Favorite - Philip Seymour Hoffman
Least - this is more difficult bc there are a ton of bad actors out there. Sean Penn is a stellar actor and there are folks on here saying he’s their least favorite. So it seems that the criteria for least favorite is someone very famous who you don’t like. I’ll have to give this one some more thought.

He's OK. But he's definitely done some not so great movies. He was really good in Frailty and Dallas Buyer Club.
He was also really good in HBO's True Detective (Season 1).
I love Christian Bale as much as I despise David Schwimmer. And Nicholas Cage is terrible but needs the money so he takes every role he can get.
As far as a versatile and talented actresses it's hard to beat Kathy Bates. I've seen her in a lot of different roles and she was excellent in all of them.
Saw this Gene Hackman article today.He is alive and well.

You know Goggins is an excellent clogger, right? Grew up doing some form of river dance. A TV clip from him dancing and singing "Ain't Misbehaving". I crack up every time I hear the line "running through the house with a pickle in my mouth".
