Plainview1981 Posted March 27, 2007 Report Share Posted March 27, 2007 That you've seen them in. Obviousally, it doesn't make sense to list somebody that you've seen play in one movie. But what actors/Actresses are good to great in all of the movies you've seen them in. Here is my list: Harvey Keitel Lynn Whitfield(She was good in Silverado and great in Eye's Bayou) Morgan Freeman Gene Hackman Christian Bale Kevin Spacey Samuel Jackson Ray Liotta Joaquin Phoenix L. Fishburne Glenn Ford (Really intense actor from back in the day) Paul Newman Steve McQueen Gary Oldman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottt Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 Jack Lemmon is the greatest actor ever. He could do it all. Drama (Glengarry Glen Ross) to comedy (Odd Couple and Some Like it Hot) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Premium Member Diesel Posted March 28, 2007 Premium Member Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 1. Gene Hackman. 2. Gary Oldman. 3. That guy from CSI NY. 4. That guy from the matrix 1 who also was a Saprano. 5. Robert DiNero 6. Jeremy Irons 7. Anthony Hopkins 8. Kathy Bates 9. Ben Kingsly 10. Denzel Washington 11. Sean Penn 12. Tom Hanks.... about Hanks.. I remember watching him in Bosom Buddies and he was what he was supposed to be.. then in Appollo 13, Philadelphia, and that movie with him on the Island... Dude is really nice. I don't have many women up here, but one who's getting my respect is Hilary Swank. I remember her in Karate Kid... She's coming a long way.

bird_dirt Posted March 28, 2007 Report Share Posted March 28, 2007 i'd add Forest Whitaker. i like morgan freeman and samuel jackson in their movies, but they both seem to play pretty much the same characters in everything they do. they're not bad, they just haven't shown much range, imo.

Whitaker is a good one. I didn't factor in them playing the same roles because they're good at what they do. Jackson plays different characters in Eve's Bayou and from what I've heard he is some different in Black Snake Moan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was watching the special features of Shaft and she seems way different in real life than the characters she plays. She's real upbeat and had short blonde hair. Looked like a punk rocker type of girl. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyMcClure Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Check out Lena Olin. She's the mom on Alias, I think. I know her from movies. Watch Romeo is Bleeding. It's probably my favorite Oldman movie. It's got Gary, Olin, Will Patton, Roy Scheider(Jaws), It also has Annabella Sciorra and Julliette Lewis. Gary plays a womanizing cop who is turning over names of informants to the mob in Chicago. He's a slimy guy, but you feel for him in the end. Lena Olin is way sexy in this role. Weird, too! Also has James Cromwell and an actor that needs to be on this list as well. Michael Wincott. He's an english actor as well. (He was the bad guy in The Crow) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
