ten of my favourite actors in no particular order

Just putting this out here step up 2 is the shit. Right this in my first blog and i'm sorta copying nath with the idea not really original but films are also a massive passion for me. I am going to be writing about my favourite actors not in order because 1. I cant hurt actors feelings and 2. There all good in there own way.  Oh I am also going to copy nath, in that I will recommend what film you should watch them in.







Edward Norton



I shall begin with a great actor and one you will all say ah its the guy from fight club, and if you don't remember then maybe the The Incredible Hulk will jot your memory. The first time I watched Edward Norton was in a film called rounders and for all those who know me know that I love poker and to make a brilliant film about it makes me feel that director's care about their work and making sure that the target audience are very happy, and I must state I was more than happy and the film is brilliant.  Soon after that he made another film that blew me away and its one of my top five films of all time AMERICAN HISTORY X, for the people who haven't watched this film watch it he gives such a powerful performance and its so believable just watch it. he's not in a great load of up and coming films but watch his space.


films you should watch : AMERICAN HISTORY X , ROUNDERS 






Karl Urban



 Next up is a kind of new actor on the scene, I mean he's been around acting for numerous of years but i'd say only the last 6 years he's been making an impact on the acting world. I have slowly grown to really like karl urban and it reinforced that like for him with his role in the remake of star trek where he played good old leonard mccoy and done a fantastic job made the character really enjoyable to watch. not many people would know that he's had what you would say unnoticable roles, such as in doom and the bourne supremacy and is probably why no one really knows who he is. he's also going to be staring in the film priest, looking forward to that.



films you should watch : pathfinder, star trek 







Djimon Hounsou

Righto my main man djimon, well what can I say there is not one of his films that I don't like ..... umm ok beauty shop fucking bollocks but apart from that well none. see the thing is, I have a problem with my favourite characters dying in almost every film I watch, maybe a couple of exceptions like gladiator where he is my favourite and lives thats enough to like him. no but thats not just why I like him so much, his performances in blood diamond and in america were just fantastic and well some of the finest acting i've seen. the only thing I have against this man, is why the fuck wasnt he in more of constantine they should definitely do a seperate film on midnite.


films you should watch : blood diamond, gladiator but really who has not seen gladiator 









Sean Bean



this is arguably my favourite actor i've always liked sean bean for as long as I can remember and he also plays my favouire film character so far to date which is boromir from the lord of the rings I shall not go to much into that just that why the fuck did he have to die evil script writers/book writers ..... cunts would of liked to of seen him in the other 2 films. back on track he also plays another favourite character odysseus and would love for them to remake the film with him lead role but chances of that are slim they need to bring out more greek mythical films. anyway back on track again, im not really a fan of sharpe and tbh not really wanted to get into it at all not my cup of tea. he's had like a 3 year spell where he got really pointless roles and its 
frustrating as a massive fan of his work, to be watching the likes of Silent hill, Equilibrium the dark and feel a little disappointed. and dont get me started on percy fukcing jackson and the lighting theif, anyway I'm always looking forward to new films he's involved in and cant wait to watch them.

films you should watch : lord of the rings fellowship, national treasure 





Jean Reno



now most of you are thinking who in God's name is this and as my mother would say he's crap why do you like him, well all I can say to that is he is not shit and is underrated. well I like jean reno mainly as a kid watching Gozilla and really liked the french dude in it that has a mini army and is really cool from then I just liked him he has mysterious side I mean the ending of Godzilla when he's on the phone now that was creepy good. The thing is i'm a massive fan of his but i havent seen his most famous film leon, yes I know its apperantly really good i shall watch it don't worry. I think he deserves more roles/ leading roles i know he does a lot of leading roles for small french films but im not really going to spend 2 hours watching subtitles its annoying. and what ever you do please jean don' t make pink pather 3 seriously.

films you should watch : ronin, Godzilla and for me leon 








Liam Neeson





well well well, sorry who are you  I sell icecream ............ 50p for a fab :O where to start well I named my guinea pig after his character in seraphim falls aka carver brilliant film aswell im not going to write a lot because if you know liam neeson then you know he is just a pure talented actor and im glad to see him doing more action films never to old 
  


films you should watch : taken, seraphim falls












Eric Bana






this man right here has grown on me a lot and I mean a lot, and if I could meet one person right now it would be him and i'd die a happy man. going back to edward norton after watching a guy in a brilliant poker film I didn't think that it could be topped and i've still not finished yet I don't want people thinking I only like people who star in poker films cause I don't, but that being said I can watch lucky you about 1000 times and still love the film and Eric's character. now the problem I have is that in my opinion he needs to get more roles, cause hello I don't know if you have seen munich, or the time traveller's wife but they are great films, and just want to say that I dislike romantic films but the time traveller's wife is the best can't see anything beating it. I could talk about this guy a long time but wanna keep the readers intrested not bored.




films you should watch : lucky you , time traveller's wife , and munich










Christian Bale









now I gather my mate nath will write a bit about  Mr Bale and will most probably be almost the same, now then where to start well for one he is  one of the most passionate and dedicated actors in are generation, some of his work he is literally mind blowing, I think he lost like 60 pounds or something for this oscar winning film the fighter which I haven't yet seen, and I think he also lost a lot of weight while shooting the film rescue dawn which is my favourite film of his. closely followed by 3:10 to yuma.




films you should watch : rescue dawn, 3:10 to yuma
















Ron Perlman









I wont write much about this man cause you just have to watch one of his films and you will understand why I like him, I watched an interview with him in and he literally told the guy " I love to work any role will do, I just love to work" he really did say that a lot must of been pissed with the guy interviewing him, just enjoyable to watch on screen.




films you should watch : hell boy and muntant chronicles
























John Turturro











last one for me, a lot of you are probably like ooooooh he looks really familiar well because he always pops up in films that you might watch on odd occasions. now I don't want to go on about my poker films all day fucking long but he if my favourite character in rounders and love his style of play plus his outlook in life in the film and his class off and on the table. but he is know for his funny side with the likes of MR DEEDS and anger management but he also plays serious roles such as secret window which he was really good in and a good watch if you want to kill 2 hours. I do enjoy seeing him in films that I give a chance and that I don't know that he's in makes a nice suprise.






films you should see : transformers, secret window.
