Thursday Thirteen 5/17



Thirteen of My Favorite Male Actors

Now, these are only 13 of my favorite actors, I have so many more. But these are actors whose movies I almost always enjoy. So, just because they're not on the list doesn't mean I don't like them!

1. Colin Firth (He played Mr. Darcy (brilliantly) twice and is oh so British and handsome)
2. Joesph Fiennes (I really enjoy the fact that he made Martin Luther pretty sexy, in Luther)
3. Johnny Depp (He's just so cool!)
4. Jimmy Stewart (Good ol' Jimmy; he is so likeable and "the common man")
5. Joaquin Pheonix (Another one who is just way cool and so talented. Plus I think he looks like my husband! Oh and I've meet his sister Rain because her band played with my husband's)
6. Will Smith (He just seems like such a normal likeable person. And he sings, dances, and is THE Fresh Prince!)
7. Christian Bale (I grew up watching Newsies, and its so awesome to see him still going!)
8. Steve Martin (I know he's more of a comedian, but I loved him in the Father of the Bride movies...so he is on my list)
9. Eddie Murphey (He made me want to snuggle with a donkey...thats great acting!)
10.Matt Damon (Good Will Hunting blew me away when I was in high school...and he was so creepy in Mr. Ripley...)
11.Ben Stiller (This guy honestly cracks me up in everything I see him in! And he reminds me of my hubby (cute and hilarious!))
12.Clive Owen (I was introduced to him in Gosford Park and he was so mysteriously intriguing; I loved it!)
13.Adam Sandler (He has completely suprised me over the past few years. He is hilarious and now that he is doing more dramatic roles he still brings that humor with him.)

I'm a big fan of Matt Damon's, too. I love the poster for Bourne Ultimatum. Just the back of his head, and yet I recognized it … him.

Ahhhh, Depp. He is truly a classic! I love me some Will Smith, too :-)

What a marvelous list! I wholeheartedly second Johnny Depp, Matt Damon, Joseph Fiennes, Jimmy Stewart, and Clive Owen.

Amy Ruttan said...

Great list. Disappointed there was no Gerard Butler on there, but he can be an acquired taste. Kudos on Colin and Clive though.

My favorite older actor was Jack Lemmon or Carey Grant.

Numbers 3 and 4 are two of my favorites. I'd also add Cary Grant and Pierce Brosnan to the list. :)

There are some of my faves on your list. I'm not a fan of Steve Martin though. Johnny Depp is great in Pirates, but i don't like him in all of his movies.
Thanks for visiting my detective TT!

Johnny Depp is an amazing actor. Hard to believe he got his start in A Nightmare On Elm Street! I really like Matt Damon's acting too. Great list!
