For me there are a few who I've loved in just about everything they've done since the 70s/80s/90s and still do. Some of mine:

Kevin Costner ❤️
Tom Hanks
Cate Blanchett
Kevin Bacon
Meryl Street
Harrison Ford

Christian Bale has been my favorite actor since I was 10 when I saw Empire of the Sun.
I also love Kirsten Dunst, she’s never afraid to look ugly for an authentic portrayal, and she refused to lose weight for a role after having her babies 🤗

Funderthighs · 05/09/2023 05:26

It’s Steve Martin for me. He’s vastly underrated.

GorgeousLadyofWrestling · 05/09/2023 06:37

Yes Steve Martin!

Christian Slater for me 🥰 Not just because he’s lovely but he’s such a good actor and has been in so many good films outside of the mainstream.

Gere, rather 😂.

NannyGythaOgg · 05/09/2023 22:50

David McCallum from Man from U.N.C.L.E. as a kid through to NCIS as an (older adult). Maybe not the best actor in the world but he's stayed with me

SerafinasGoose · 05/09/2023 22:51

Doris Day all the way.

Agree Steve Martin has been making me howl with laughter for decades.
Bill Paterson and Juliet Stevenson since Truly Madly Deeply.
I've adored Paul Bettany since A Knight's Tale in about 2000. He just hasn't met me yet.

Stanley Tucci
Sandra Bullock

A couple I learned later- Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman. For years I had no idea who they were. They're so different in every film, I didn't realise it was the same actor.

Absolutely. He can convey so much without moving a muscle or saying a word. Brilliant, brilliant actor.
