Please use this thread to discuss your favourite actors and actresses.

 

My favourite actor is Elijah Wood. His performances are both delicate and thought-provoking. He has a gentle charisma that gives him sufficient stage presence to hold his own against legendary heavyweights such as Sir Ian McKellen and Sean Bean. He also has very expressive eyes that he uses to great effect.

I also admire Susan Sarandon. She is an intelligent actress who successfully conveys the strength and convictions of her characters.

Jennifer Lawrence, Colin Firth, and Helena Bonham Carter are my current favorites. All are incredibly talented actors.

[QUOTE="dave123321"]Hey lai, have you watched Maniac yet?

Dave, due to copyright laws I am not allowed to discuss Maniac until June 21. And HeeweeRus, I am impressed by your excellent preferences for actors.

Please use this thread to discuss your favourite actors and actresses.

 

My favourite actor is Elijah Wood. His performances are both delicate and thought-provoking. He has a gentle charisma that gives him sufficient stage presence to hold his own against legendary heavyweights such as Sir Ian McKellen and Sean Bean. He also has very expressive eyes that he uses to great effect.

But is he an objectivist?

It is doubtful that he has studied Objectivist literature, however in an expansive sense he is an objectivist because he is a man of ability who exploits his skills and talents for his own personal gain. He is a main of integrity who does not compromise his artistic convictions. That is why he has mostly focused on independent films since his work in Lord of the Rings.

Elijah is an excellent actor. If you think a movie is bad just because it is not high budget then you are ignorant. There are countless high budget major motion pictures that are terrible and only make a profit due to extensive advertising and ignorant consumers.

I really feel he was one of the weaker performances, which is unfortunate considering he was the lead.
