Ryan Reynolds isn't a good actor. But I like him. Benedict Cumberbatch, however, is a very fine actor and does not deserve to be on anyone's "turd" list. Unless he personally took a shit on you. Then, I'll allow it.

Re: Who's Your Favorite (and Least Favorite) Actor?
Benedict Cumberbatch? Really? I think I've only seen him mentioned once for any kind of shitty behavior. And he apologized and clarified his comments immediately and I haven't seen much else from him or about him. But I also go out of my way to keep a safe distance between myself and celebrity gossip. Maybe he is shitty. That would suck, but he's still a good actor.tragabigzanda wrote:The gossip rags paint him as sort of a shit, so it must be true.durdencommatyler wrote:Ryan Reynolds isn't a good actor.

And if we can make excuses and say the same about Mel fucking Gibson, then I'm sure we can cut Cumberbatch some slack too.

How about Tom Hiddleston in his place? I can go with that

Well, it has to do with his persona...his whole artist scheme, him wanting to be a somehow respected actor...you are too late for that kid. You are nor Pitt nor Depp. Fuck off, you got jobs because you have blonde hair and blue eyes. Thats it.durdencommatyler wrote:I'm not sure I have strong feelings either way about Michael Pitt. What do you hate so much about him, TVG?
Im happy he cant lead a movie because he is irritating to me.

Re: Who's Your Favorite (and Least Favorite) Actor?
it would be hard for me to come up with an all time favorite list, but i would say in college (2001-2005) was when my film horizons really started expanding...so i'd say my favorites since that time are in no particular order:
brendan gleeson
steve buscemi
nic cage
gary oldman
john turturro
tom hardy
oscar isaac
richard jenkins
phillip seymour hoffman
matt damon
i'm sure there's at least 5 or 6 others i could put right up there with them
least favorite, i'm not sure...i'll have to think about that one
