Sigourney Weaver is amazing! I think I'm gonna get a tattoo of her in alien at some point. With Jonesy OBVIOUSLY

[–] tankplanker@lemmy.world 1 points 56 minutes ago

She is amazing, I would love to meet her.

And that's a great choice of tattoo!

It's a tie between Jim Carrey and Nicolas Cage

[–] Coelacanth@feddit.nu 3 points 6 hours ago

I have a hard time choosing between Heath Ledger and Harry Dean Stanton.

Gary Oldman, maybe?

Excellent choice! He's my current favourite I'd watch him acting washing dishes

[–] TwoBeeSan@lemmy.world 2 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Been rewatching the wire. So a lot of these people on my mind.

Andre Royo playing bubbles is my favorite depiction of addiction put to film. His grief speech in season 5 is just gut wrenching.

Lance Reddick brought a stoic commanding presence to almost anything he was in.

Wood Harris is great in anything, big or small role.

I looooooved Omar he was an incredible actor.

Nicholas cage and Andrew Scott. They both make baddies that you love.

[–] remon@ani.social 3 points 12 hours ago

Nathan Fillion.

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 1 points 10 hours ago

Jack Black! He might not play my favourite shows/movies/roles, bur he's a cool person

"Who's"

I don't know if he'd be at the absolute top of the list. Hard to give that as an off-the-cuff answer. I guess Anthony Hopkins (The Silence of the Lambs) would probably be up there, though. That's a role that really depended heavily on his acting to work.

Nathan Fielder for now
