Being my favourite actor, fingers are crossed all those films do well in 2009
Speaking of favourite actors i figured id list my 10 fave's in film!
Feel free to harass me and shake your head at some entries.
After the list ill explain why they were picked.
1. Sam Worthington - Australian
2. Hugh Jackman - Australian
3. Clive Owen - English
4. Kate Mara - American
5. Guy Pearce - Australian
6. Peter Stormare - Swedish
7. Ethan Hawk - American
8. Rose Byrne - Australian
9. Robert Downey Jr - American
10. Alan Arkin - American
and so why ?
Sam gets number one because
a) i know him, hence all the bias
b) he has the talent to be the best ....
Hugh gets number two spot because he is loved by the whole world just for being Hugh, girls love him, guys love him, everyone wants to know him, and it shows in his films, even the actors around him pick up when he is on screen.
Clive Owen is probably the best male actor to come out of the UK in god knows how long, and he has the type of looks that you just know will get better with age, sort of like Sean Connery's did.
Kata Mara you may have noticed is one of only two females in the list and no its not that im sexist, nor due to her great acting, to be honest shes on there because shes probably the only female actor ive seen on screen that ive actually taken one look at and thought "I wish i knew her" ....
Guy Pearce was a no brainer for the list, after watching Memento & The Count Of Monte Cristo he was always destined to get a look in for my top 10, then he went on to make a heap of other great films and cemented his spot.
Peter Stormare is one of those actors who has talent yes but you like him in movies because he just has this creepy evil look about him that's just totally awesome for film and when he was cast as Lucifer in Constantine it was the most inspired piece of casting ever!
Ethan Hawk is really under rated, he's way more talented than his ex-wife and while im yet to see his full potential im adding him anyway, he just needs to pick better films, why is it that Keanu Reeves gets all these good films yet he cant act and Ethan gets the scraps ... altho Training Day was awesome!
Rose Byrne is probably the best Australian actor working today, id say Cate Blanchett but while shes half Australian, shes more English than Australian, but Rose is sort of trucking along in her career and is yet to see the highs of Hollywood like others on the list, but watch "The rage in placid lake" and you will see shes got the talent.
Downey Jr has always been around, yeah he chose the dark side for 10 years or so but he came back and while his fake Australian accent needs work ill give him a gold star for effort.
Finally Alan Arkin who's been in anything and everything for eon's ....
Funny Funny man and i do wish he was my boss, although if he was id just laugh
all day at work, he could tell me im fired and id still sit in the chair opposite him laughing!
Where did you get your information?
ReplyDeleteCate Blanchett is Australian, if anything half American since her father was born in Texas.
You read wikipedia too, would be nice if i knew who you were to actualy reply, however ill just comment on my own blog and see if anonymous returns.
ReplyDeleteI said Cate was half australian, i didnt say English was her other half, i said shes more english than australian because she grew up in england for most of her life even tho she was born here and has a texan dad. Russell Crowe was born in New Zealand but grew up in Australia, so hes more Australian than New Zealander ... you get the idea ....
Who's the dude on the top left? He's hot!
