Whoopi Goldberg improves any film. I don't know if she's a good actress. She's just fab as a presence.

Russell Tovey is v good.

Could watch James Stewart in anything.

I also love all the actors in Horrible Histories. They are all brilliant. Esp Mathew Boynton.

Sarah Lancashire
Julie Walters
Pam Ferris
Bette Midler
All make me feel happy and safe

Jamie Dornan
Tom Hardy
Ryan Reynolds
Just lovely to look at.

Elisabeth Moss. She is a brilliant actress and takes on such interesting roles that I would at least start watching almost anything she does now.

chickenfraybentos · 13/08/2017 22:28

YY to Jimmy Stewart.

Drew Barrymore and Paul Rudd. Although even he couldn't convince me to sit through Ant Man.

(Also I have met her very briefly and she was lovely for the extremely short exchange we had!)

Berrybakecake1 · 13/08/2017 22:29

Alan Rickman (very talented man)
Cate blanchett (love her )
Rowan Atkinson (weirdly)
Eva Green (my girl crush I think)
Susan Sarandon

Lee Pace (Thranduil in The Hobbit, but he's been in some really good stuff including Pushing Daisies and currently Halt and Catch Fire on Amazin Prime - both TV series. He is totally hot)

I had a real Mads Mikkleson phase which led me to interesting pastures.

I have a soft spot for Daniel Radcliffe, I like to keep up with what he's doing, and he's seems like such a lovely guy.

I also really like Keira Knightley, I know loads of people don't but again, she seems really lovely, someone who'd be a laugh to go to the pub with.

Berrybakecake1 · 13/08/2017 22:33

Ooh forgot
Maureen o'hara love her in anything. That lady had sass.
James Stewart

Tom hanks ( even the lame films)
And recently Nicole Kidman.

TheHiphopopotamus · 13/08/2017 22:33

rivertam I agree about KK. Irl, she actually seems lovely but she winds a lot of people up for some reason. Evidence of that in the other thread.

RiverTam · 13/08/2017 22:36

I haven't gone near the other thread, it seems so mean spirited!

AztecHero · 13/08/2017 22:37

Gary Oldman

Terence Stamp

Charles Dance

NormHonal · 13/08/2017 22:38

Steve Carrell

PuppyMonkey · 13/08/2017 22:39

I'll nominate Keira Knightley just because it annoys me that she always turns up in the zillion boring "actresses you hate" threads on MN.

littlepeas · 13/08/2017 22:39

Merck Streep! I can't believe I'm the first to say her!

littlepeas · 13/08/2017 22:40

Meryl! Autocorrect tried to screw me over a second time by putting me Ruth!

ASongOfRiceAndPeas · 13/08/2017 22:41

Alan Rickman
Gary Oldman
Kevin Spacey (I absolutely adore him even though I know he's done some crap films too)
Ed Harris
Matthew McConaughey (HATED him when he did rom-coms)
Carey Mulligan
Sigourney Weaver
Sally Field

I'm in my mid twenties and people think it's quite odd that I love mainly older actors.

Clayhead · 13/08/2017 22:42

Tom Burke
Lesley Sharp

Oddish · 13/08/2017 22:43

Tilda Swinton, she is fascinating in every role, I love her 😍

KurriKurri · 13/08/2017 22:44

Sophie Okonedo -I love looking at her beautiful face and she looks so warm, like she'd be a really good friend in a crisis (obviously this is in my head as I don't know her - she might be a total flake Grin)

YouTheCat · 13/08/2017 22:44

Mel Brooks.

I've got opening night tickets for Young Frankenstein in 2 weeks and am hoping he'll be there.

KurriKurri · 13/08/2017 22:45

Oh and John Simm - I think he looks interesting and a bit grumpy.

MerlinsLeftButtock · 13/08/2017 22:46

I have always just loved Claire Danes. Ever since My So Called Life in the 90s.
