I'm thinking of their talent as an actor but I'll let you decide what makes them so watchable.

Ralph Fiennes for me.

And I've just forgotten the rest of my list.

Possibly Terence Stamp although there was an odd Italian movie he did when very young which makes me feel queasy as it is so claustrophobic.

FortSalem86 · 11/12/2022 14:17

Alan Rickman.

David Tennant. I saw him playing a nazi in the west end recently and he was mesmerising. The gap between Dr Who and something like that or Des shows incredible talent.

maresedotes · 11/12/2022 14:21

Sheridan Smith. She's so good in everything I've seen her in.

Hbh17 · 11/12/2022 14:22

Kenneth Branagh
Mark Rylance
Simon Russell Beale
Tom Hiddleston
David Tennant
Judi Dench
The late Alan Rickman
Juliet Stevenson
Tom Burke

Been lucky enough to see all of them on stage and the one thing that they all have in common is that you can't take your eyes off them.

AHelpfulHand · 11/12/2022 14:25

Sheridan smith
Reese Witherspoon

HellsBells87 · 11/12/2022 14:25

Sarah Jessica Parker. Evan Peters, amazing actor, not just because he's gorgeous. He's so versatile and believable in anything he's in.

RandomUsernameHere · 11/12/2022 14:27
