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.

Love him.

Also Gene Hackman who retired from acting a few years back. Sensational actor.

Even in a crap film Hackman is brilliant, that scene in the bar in French Connection when they shake those guys down was mostly improvised.
