Re: Favorite Actor of ALL Time

I like Ben Gazarra a lot; I'd watch a movie just because he's in it.

 

But to pick a favorite I'd have to say Peter Strauss.

That's an interesting pick (Peter Strauss).

 

I can't recall seeing him in much, but I saw him for a few minutes just this afternoon in an old tv show called  "Streets of San Francisco" that my mother was watching.

 

I will look him up to see if I recognize something he starred in. Mom says he was good in a tv series with Nick Nolte. I am going to see if I can get a dvd of that for her; sounded like something we would enjoy watching together.

Thanks. Just looked up dvd at  Amazon.

 

Whoa!  DVD price $230. Won't be buying any time soon. Wonder if any of the retro stations will ever re-play it.

Re: Favorite Actor of ALL Time

Agree with so many actors mentioned; however I have to narrow it down to those who can do comedy AND drama with extra points as portraying great villains:

 

Robert De Niro

Jack Nicholson

Re: Favorite Actor of ALL Time

@Highlands72  I just watched The Secret Garden the other day. I have always thought Dean Stockwell (as a kid) was a terrific actor. Seems like it came naturally to him.
