Good Acting no, GREAT Acting, who makes you believe?

Started by Kes12 pages

This isnt about fave actors. This is about actors that are so believable that make you think they are the character. Like they are not acting, that they are really like that.

yeah, i agree with Lawrence fishburne, he is great at making me believe...

okay then.... all the actors I listed are the ones that "make me believe" even though whn you see a movie you know its a movie hee hee

Joaquin Phoenix(probably spelt it wrong) and Halle Berry

lauranace fishburne...not really believable in his roles at times.

Never seen that movie. I chose not to cos I'd just seen a mini series with Leelee Sobiesky (sp) about Joan of Arc and I'd loved it so I didnt want to ruin it by seeing that movie plus Leelee is a great actress so I kinda thought no one could do better then that. But I might rent it now.

If you liked the mini series you will love the one with milla IMO. She gives a first class performance!

Cool

Ian McKellen
Jack Nicholson
Anthony Hopkins
Jeremy Irons(although he seems to pick shit roles lately)

I just got into Hugo Weaving. Now THAT man can ACT! I'm suprised I never got into him before now!

i officially think that viggo mortensen and tom cruise are the best actors. their level of commitment to their characters in movies and meeting the demands of a role is amazing. they are hard workers.

I think Tom Cruise is overrated.

Ed Norton, Brad Pitt, Johnny Depp, Christian Bale, Anthony Hopkins, Ian McKellen, Penelope Cruz, Naomi Watts, Emily Watson

I have to go for:
Orlando bloom - even along side Johnny depp his acting skills really shined.

Johnyy depp - amazing attitude.

Liv tyler- great with emotion.

Elijah wood - he started young and look at him now, magnificent.

billy boyd- hes so funny.

sean bean - he rocks

these really are greats.

agree with most of them.
johnny depp on the top of the list - for ALL his movies.damn he can make me cry like a baby - and i dun cry easily.just ask any of my frens(not that that's possible tho😉) that movie THE BRAVE - dammit i was bawling!!!!and the variety of roles he can play...breath-taking!!!and how he can totally MAKE up his character -pirates of the caribbean is a fine example(i'd give more but i dun think many pl wld know what movies i'm talkin abt) he's not that well known(well b4 pirates anyway) cuz his movies aren't commercialised yeah what totally brought him his fame to THAT generation was edward scissorhands but what REALLY shot him to fame was POTC -his movies aren't famous but they've got FANTASTIC quality and 1ST RATE acting by him. ALL OF THEM.and i REALLY strongly reccomend "the brave" it's not only starring him it's also BY him i just watched it twice and bawled my eyes out at it both times *sniff*

orlando -he's not there yet but getting there -i LOVE the way he portrays legolas -i prefer it even over the books' legolas.but he's not that fantastic -YET.every1 needs experience,even the best actors.we can expect a whole lot more frm him i think.

elijah -variety again - the faculty,lotr,deep impact....but then again sumtimes he looks like he's forever abt to cry😑

last night, i read an interview at cinema confidential about him. he gave such indepth/insight for the love of his work and commitment to his latest movie, the last samurai. shall i give you the link to it?

Mel Gibson.. he's an incredible actor in my mind...
And Sean Connery is also great...
and Harisson Ford
And Viggo Mortensen
And Elijah Wood
And Michael Douglas
And Sandra Bullock
And Julia Stiles ( besides... shes hot!!!!!!!)

harrison ford was so funny in hollywood homicide!

BOP> Nah, I never really liked him.
I've always considered him overrated cos he didnt do movies for a bit and was riding the glory of a few movies that did good at the box office but are nothing special.Now ad (sp) the fact that I'm starting to like Kidman and absolutly hate Penélope Cruz!!!
