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.

Thetimeisnotnow · 13/08/2017 22:27

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.

andintothefire · 13/08/2017 22:29

(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.
