Favorite Actor...

[kc2kde]

Who is your personal favorite actor? Mine would be... the one.. the only.. Clint Eastwood! Let's see how many we can get! Everyone post your favorite!

Actually 4 come into mind....Any John Wayne film, Jimmy Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy, any Jimmy Stewart film, and George C. Scott in, Patton.

My Mother thanks you, my Father thanks you, my sister thanks you, and I thank you.

George W. Bush

Uh, whoa ... you said "OFF politics."

Male: David Caruso - Robert DeNiro - Robert Duvall - Tom Hanks (Road To Perdition!) - Al Pacino - any male with the ability to carry high drama (and some really surprise me, such as David Carridine and Peter Fonda)

Female: Linda Purl - Jaclyn Smith - And as they have matured, Yvette Mimeux (not sure of spelling) - Barbara Eden, not in her bimbo roles but as a mature actress.

Many more I can't think of right now

Clint Eastwood IS politics, he was mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea, California from 86-88, he got 72% of the vote.

[K4KWH]

James Stewart! #Not only because he was a fine actor, but because he was a fine man, USAF Executive Officer in WWII, was decorated, flew dangerous missions over Germany. He remained in the USAF Reserve and VOLUNTEERED quietly for duty during Viet Nam, flying
B52 bombing missions as a Command Pilot. I was privileged to briefly shake hands with him back in the 1980's and I have his autograph.

John Wayne, of course, Gregory Peck, and Glenn Ford.
Glenn Ford, too, remained in the US Naval Reserve for many years, retiring as a Captain (Full Col. to us landlubbers http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif ) #I tend to admire the military guys a lot.

Not an actor, but I was privileged to know Jimmy &quot;Catfish&quot; Hunter back in high school. He was a Yankee pitcher and died of Lou Gehrig's disease some years back. His wife, Helen, was in my senior class of '66. She signed my HS annual &quot;Helen Overton Hunter&quot; as she and Jimmy had married by the time the annuals were printed. All of us kids in that sleepy, little coastal town thought that was pretty neat!

There was one episode, he was wearing a Green Bay Packers hat. I'd like to know the story behind that.

I fully intended to post a favorite actor with NO mention of politics, but someone had to take a jab so all bets are off.

So in that case John Wayne gets my vote for his love of country and his public distain for the actions of his god daughter Hanoi Jane.

I don't remember the hat, but he wore a Packers T-shirt in the final episode of the series...must be a story in there somewhere!

This guy playing Mr. Evill against Austin Power. Saw the film 3 times in a week. All the mimics of his face. Rated best of my life. Mr. Evill, you are great.

[KA9VQF]

“That’s Dr. Evil thank you, I didn’t spend 8 years in evil medical school to be called Mr.”

He is the same person, Mike Meyers. Just different make up and cloths.

Surprised that no one has mentioned Fonda or Tracey.

John Wayne Will all ways be with us in mind and spirit.

I have never seen Bogie in a bad movie. &quot;Of all the gin-joints in all the towns in the world, she walks into mine!&quot; I like his generation of actors a lot more than any today. I think it's because acting is less important to movie makers than SFX.

One thing I've noticed for years: When the on-screen graphics are the worst, is where the sound effects will be the harshest (explosions, etc). The idea is to make you blink, so you don't notice.

[WA2ZDY]

I'm not a great watcher of movies, but Eastwood played such a great Dirty Harry . . . and George C Scott made Patton a very real person to this history buff.

It's interesting to see Werner Klemperer on the list of stars who served (thank you for that link ECI.) He of course played Col Klink on &quot;Hogan's Heros.&quot; His father Otto was an opera singer who brought his Jewish family here from Nazi Germany.

In fact, many of the cast members of Hogan's Heros were Jews who had managed to escape Hitler's Germany. It's an interesting story. I can't quote all the details now, but if you look it up, I'm sure it'll be easily found on the net and it's good reading for those interested.

Harrison Ford. He does incognito helo rescue's in Wyoming with his private helocopter.

Tom Hanks. Very versatile as an actor.

Sean Connery. A real class act there.



And then there is no better than The Duke. http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Arch Hall Jr. He ran the gamut from A to B.

Bogie is still my all time favorite actor. John Wayne was darned good in The Quiet Man also. Also his role in The Shootist was excellent also.

There are a lot of good actors over the years. In no particular order and leaving out many good ones also I am sure:

Duvall
Dinoro
Jimmy Stewart
Henry Fonda
George Raft and Edward G. Robinson are still the best mobsters ever.
Dustin Hoffman
Rod Stiger

And you have to give anyone who could co-star with Anna Nichole Smith and keep a straight face a large round of applause for being dang good too.

I know I left out many good actors and didn't even begin to address the females but I am out of time and need to go do some things.

Gary NØKLT

[K7KBN]

Val Kilmer in &quot;Top Secret&quot;

Shadoe Stevens in &quot;Traxx&quot;

Any of the &quot;Airplane!&quot;, &quot;Naked Gun&quot; and other movies produced and directed by Abrams and Zucker.

[W7DJM]

&quot;The Quick and the Dead&quot; was a &quot;great&quot; movie?http://www.qrz.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/confused.gif You're joking, right?


I can't pick a CURRENT favorite actor, because so many of them ARE envolved with politics that I do not agree with.


Sharon Stone, for one--who by the way was in the very stupid movie, &quot;The Quick and the Dead.&quot; It's somehow O.K. for her to make some of the very violent movies she made, and of course the vast amount of money she was paid, (what was that thing with Arnie, from Caleefoooooorneeaa?) but she just HAD to make a great big anti gun statement when she supposedly &quot;called the sheriffs and had them get all the guns out of her house, because it made her feel so unsafe.&quot; (dramatic pause.)


I don't know about the rest of you, but it seems to me that feeding the hands that are trying to bite you is mass stupidity.

I 'spose this means you are all gonna tramp downtown and see &quot;Cat Woman,&quot; two of most idiotically off center actor(eses) I know of. (Halle Berry and Sharon Stone)

Nice photo. I had a similar poster in my radiator shop until customers complained. {this was back in the early 80's}

You beat me to it Norm, Gary Cooper was one of my favorite actors. I remeber the first time I saw Sargent York, it was 1959 watched it with my Dad on a 21 inch b&amp;w Phillco, we had just upgraded from a round picture tube Admiral that my Dad purchased (I think) in 1955.
Walace Berry
Jack Lemon
Lee Remmick
Dustin Hoffman
Ward Bond
Just to name a few, I could go on and on....(but absolutly John Wayne)
