    This is an absolute no-brainer.



    Without question, my favorite actor is John Wilkes Booth

    Joaquin Phoenix- joker
    Daniel Day Lewis - everything he does
    Russell Crowe- gladiator
    Leo DiCaprio- basketball diaries
    Ryan Gosling - Drive
    Jessica Chastain - zero dark thirty
    Charlize Theron - young adult
    Joseph Gordon levitt - inception
    I could go on and on and on but that wouldn’t leave me any room to return later with more goodies....

    @Motorsheen - Hm, I’ve not seen anything he’s in. I’ll have to give him a shot.

    @forestfreek

    Yeah, he's kind of a 'one hit' wonder.

    John Wilkes Booth got the best roles...... because he had the best head shots.

    I've enjoyed every movie I've seen Leonardo Dicaprio in.

    One stand-out is Claire Danes in Homeland. Love that she played a deeply flawed woman and so convincingly

    I’ve tried watching her in other movies.. like this one movie where she’s a mom of a gender-fluid child, and I just couldn’t get into it. It was too weird to see Carrie in that role

    Why is jeff goldblum so dreamy? I don’t understand my own reaction to him. His individual features are meh but as a whole he is off the charts hot

    I want to believe it is an attitude or persona he exudes as opposed to his physical features that makes him attractive to a lot of people. I mostly enjoy nearly every role he's in, although I admit, he gets type-cast as "wise cracking science-y math dude" a lot, mostly because of Jurassic Park (and the Malcolm in the book wasn't described as NEARLY as attractive, lol).
