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

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

Rylance and Branagh absolutely stole Dunkirk; and they pretty much stood in one place and didn't move for the duration of the film. Sheer acting personality.

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.

Heathers was the film that made me fall in love with Christian Slater. Oh to be a teenager again.
