Idris Elba.

Michael Sheen, yes! What on earth he was doing with Kate Beckinsale I'll never understand.

Loved him even as Tony Blair. Brought some class to the Twilight series.

RandomDent · 13/08/2017 23:01

I have never disliked anything I have seen Steve Buschemi in.

Graphista · 13/08/2017 23:01

Yes Steve buscemi in some excellent productions

scrabbler3 · 13/08/2017 23:01

Fair enough EastMids

I really like Jack P Shepard and would like to see him in something other than Corrie. I also think that Kym Marsh is talented - she was wonderful in her stillbirth storyline.

Thought Harry Styles was very natural in Dunkirk. Would like to see him in sonething else.

Ruth Jones. Liked her in East is East, as Nessa, and as a mum in that Christmas special drama she did a few years ago. Would watch her in a "serious" role if she ever did one.

pieceofpurplesky · 13/08/2017 23:03

Tatiana Maseleny

affectionincoldclimate · 13/08/2017 23:07

Cate Blanchett - just in love with her ever since I saw her in Elizabeth. That face would command a thousand ships
Kevin Spacey - he is always in full possession of his character in any move or series - Spacey disappears and the character takes over
Elizabeth Moss - she has an uncanny ability to convey universal humanity so that Everything I see her in, she becomes my guide to that world - Mad Men and Handmaid's Tale in particular
Jeremy Irons - he comes across as a bit of a tit in interviews but as an actor, he commands the screen

Ceto · 13/08/2017 23:19

Ian Richardson. As with Alan Rickman, it's mainly down to the voice.

JaneJeffer · 13/08/2017 23:23

Harrison Ford

SerfTerf · 13/08/2017 23:26

@Ceto I've rewatched the original Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy this week; Ian Richardson, Alec Guinness AND Michael Jayson, It's a voice appreciator's delight Smile

thebigbluedustbin · 13/08/2017 23:29

Allison Janney, but that's not weird because she is brilliant.

Welshwabbit · 13/08/2017 23:34

Kristin Scott Thomas. I will watch her in anything, even when she's doing a crap American accent. The fact that she's decided to do loads of theatre in London in the last few years is a source of great joy to me.

I will also give anything featuring Sarah Parish a whirl.

EmmyInTheSticks · 13/08/2017 23:39

Hayden Christensen.

I've watched nearly all his films.

He was a crush I had in my youth and as other ones faded I still feel a bit dippy about him.

PookieSnackenberger · 13/08/2017 23:41

Richard Ayoade

I bloody love him I do [heart]

kittensarecute · 13/08/2017 23:46

Miranda Richardson - my absolute idol. There's nothing I wouldn't watch her in.

ILoveMillhousesDad · 13/08/2017 23:48

Oh yes. Add spacey to my list

AgadorSpartacus · 13/08/2017 23:48

Michael Sheen.
Most definitely.

and not just because I'd leave DH in a heartbeat if Michael knocked on my door Smile

I think he's an acting god.

weeder · 13/08/2017 23:49

Lindsay Duncan, Roger Allam and Cumberbatch.

pandarific · 13/08/2017 23:50

Tamsin Grieg. I want to be her when I grow up.
