Who was your favourite actor / actress?

Re: Who was your favourite actor / actress?

Hmmm, not sure I've ever had a favourite actor or actress. My allegiences tend to be fleeting, depending variously on the date, the part played, the programme/film they are in and whether I fancy them or not!

A film I really enjoyed of Travolta's was Blow Out, a thriller from 1981. Highly recommend it.

Ah yes, all classics but Wild Hogs is a tad more recent and really, really funny!

Not seen Wild Hogs. I was thinking of Pulp Fiction, Get Shorty, Face Off, Thin Red Line etc.

Is this a Micky take? ^

John Travolta who did some cringeworthy stuff in his early career but has made some great films in the 90s onwards.

Yes indeedy! Wild Hogs, for instance...

Branny, Glynis Barber is in Eastenders atm (or have I just dreamt that?)

It's interesting to find that many actors improve as they age. I'm thinking particularly of John Travolta who did some cringeworthy stuff in his early career but has made some great films in the 90s onwards.

I know we have a few Sweeney fans on these forums so I'm guessing I'm not the only fan of John Thaw?

I did like him in many of his other roles, and have been enjoying watching 'Redcap' on DVD lately, but it's as Jack Regan that I think we saw the best of him.

The more films I see starring Johnny Depp the more I am convinced he is a fine actor. Also like Harrison ford, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, Bruce Willis, Glynis Barber, Eliza Dushku but Chris Walken is one of my faves.

I always enjoyed the talents of German born actress Nastassja Kinski......esp in "Tess" and "Paris Texas".......

Re: Who was your favourite actor / actress?

when I was about 11 I had a massive crush on Elizabeth Sladen who played and still does play Sarah Jane Smith at that time the Doctors assistant.
I must admit she still looks good for her age and it's nice to see her back in that role (probably the only thing she has done)

Re: Who was your favourite actor / actress?

I always had a thing for Harrison Ford in the late 70s and early 80s.

Malcom McDowell!

He starred in A Clockwork Orange 1971 and a little known film where he starred as a wicked German Officer - made in 1979 called The passage.

McDowell also took the lead in the 1973 film "O Lucky Man", which had some memorable music specially written by Alan Price. Other than A Clockwork Oraange, McDowell's other famous film appearance was in "If" in 1968. Both this and "O Lucky Man" were directed by Lindsay Anderson. "If" occasionally gets a TV airing, but, as far as I can see, never "O Lucky Man", which while no great shakes as a film, was good fun nonetheless.
