Actors you've loved for as long as you can remember.

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

Alan Rickman
Tommy Lee Jones
Andy Garcia
Hugh Jackman
Ewan McGregor
Robert Carlyle
Kevin Mckidd
Jerome Flynn
David Tennant
Richard Armitage
Cary Grant

Billy Bob Thornton. He's actually pretty old now but then I am no spring chicken either. I've always thought he was hot af.

Yes! I can still remember as a child how fascinated I was watching her in that film and I've loved her work since. Introduced DC to Silence Of The Lambs when it was on telly a couple of nights ago and they were blown away by her too. Just an extraordinary actor.

Anthony Hopkins. Just the absolute master of quiet, subtle acting (ok apart from Lecter obvs, that was an aberration!)
I loved him since being a 13 year old watching International Velvet. Slightly crappy film but he's wonderful.

Wait, I forgot Liam Neeson! Spotted him (ahem decades ago) in The Bounty in his first acting role, loved him...then he was amazing as a priest in Lamb....just got better and better. At uni watching Schindler's List, the 'I could have done more' speech set off another cacophony of audience sobbing in what was an emotional experience....
Although I do find his present old action man persona quite bewildering, he's still watchable. Just when I'd given up hope I saw The Grey. Amazing!!

John Cusack. Why are his films never shown on the telly?

Cary Grant. Others come and go, but he's always Cary Grant.

Have you seen Paul Bettany in A Very British Scandal on BBC iplayer (available now)?
Just fantastic!

Kathy Burke... Ever since her incredible part in Mr Wroe's Virgins, serious historical drama about a cult rigid leader based on true story.
She was amazing, but she's fantastic in everything she does.

Yes! Yum. (Despite the fact that he was playing an utter shit 😄).

I was just going to say John Cusack and then I scrolled back

I always wonder how people revive old threads?

Sarah Lancashire. Love her. She is a national treasure.

Nobody mentioned Brad Pitt

He is my guilty pleasure 😊

YYY. A goddess.
