As I like to watch a good movie or series every now and then, I was wondering what my favourite actors are. As with all lists this is just a shortcut of my brain. I am already now thinking about some changes. But for now, these are my favorites.
10. Ryan Reynolds
Looking at IMDB I cannot believe that Two guys and a girl is already that old. Looking at the more recent stuff I like Ryan most in over the top action comedy’s like The Hitman’s Wife’s Bodyguard and Red Notice. He is also very funny in interviews.
9. Chris Hemsworth
When looking at IMDB I see Chris has been a busy guy so far. Only saw I few of the movies he starred in, but I’m impressed. Below the trailer from Rush. Extraction is a great one too.
8. Dwayne Johnson
Known for a lot of movies, my favorite is a serie: Ballers.
7. Matthew McConaughey
Matthew won an oscar for Dallas Buyer’s Club. The first movie I saw with Matthew was the film adaption of John Grisham’s A Time to Kill. True Detective is a great serie too.
6. Liam Neeson
Taken, Taken 2, Taken 3, I will find you and I will kill you. Need I say more?
5. Mark Wahlberg
Pretty underestimated in my opinion. Great in action movies, and also really funny in comedy’s. My favorite series Entourage is loosely based on his experiences as an upcoming moviestar. Father Stu from last year was something different, but absolutely great. Other favorites from Mark are Contraband and Ted.
4. Jason Statham
Not that long ago there were basically 3 big stars in action films: Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger and Bruce Willis. Sometimes it seems like these 3 were merged into one sublime action movie actor. Formats for a lot of movies are a lot like each other. But sometimes you just want action, and not too much thinking in a movie. Statham never disappoints.
3. Morgan Freeman
Meanwhile Freeman is older than Santa Claus but is still rockin’it. Played in 147 movies. 7 movies in the top 250 movies according to IMDB. I can sum up some of his movies. But why, we all love Morgan don’t we? And not only him as an actor, but also his voice.
2. Robert De Niro
Have not seen a decent movie with De Niro for quite some time. But with a track record like his one, there is no argue for this second place. The Godfather II, Heat, Taxi Driver, Untouchables, the guy has an endlist list of great movies. My favorite is Goodfellas.
1. Al Pacino
No further explanation, just two speeches from two favorite Pacino movies.
Damn, watching those speeching gave me goosebumps again 🙂
