Who Is Your All Time Favorite Actor/Actress?

Modern Actor, this dude. RIP. From James Brown to Jackie Robinson to Black Panther, just nailed it.

Growing up, it was this dude. Best action star of all time from Conan to Terminator.

Or this guy. Always great to watch in any role.

Actress, probably her. They say Merryl Streep nails every role, I think it’s this lady instead.

I have to put them in categories of old and new.

Old:

Bob Hope
Errol Flynn
Cary Grant

Mae West
Donna Reed
Bette Davis (I never thought her acting was particularly good, but I find her compelling to watch)

New:

Anthony Hopkins
Will Smith
Gene Hackman
Denzel

Margot Robbie

I have to admit, modern female actresses annoy me for some reason.

Sorry I forgot a few.

Burt Lancaster
Christian Bale
Samuel L Jackson
Rooney Mara
 
Of the young actresses I really liked Jennifer Lawrence but she seems to have fallen off a cliff; really terrible choices of roles the last 5 years or so.
Emilia Clarke impressed me incredibly with Game of Thrones.

Gotta be blunt not many young actors impress me; outside of Matt Damon (should have won the Oscar for the Martian)

did you like the movie rounders? I thought that it was an alright movie
 
James Cagney anyone?! Maybe too old school. There are so many great great actors, but it usually helps if the movie is iconic as well.

I looked at again not long ago; wow was he young but the talent was there to see.

Its like looking at the early film of all great actors- you can see it.

I thought it was a good plot. I don't actually know, but it seemed realistic for how things might go for a card player/cheaters like that
 
A lot of great ones in this thread. Here's a couple I haven't seen on other lists. I think they are amongst the best working today.

Cillian Murphy

Elisabeth Moss
 
...When I was very young...I liked the actor Tyrone Powers....But people pointed the finger at me and made fun of it!...But I didn't care!...The End
