Coolest actor ever?

[Ezteq]

there are quite a few absoloute dude monets shared by many actors heres a few of mine:

clint eastwood in heartbreak ridge where he faces the swede, classic! also the entire good the bad and the ugly.

christopher walken in basically everything, a guy that i used to work with was from new york and he was sat having a smoke and christopher walken just came up to him and started eating a sandwich...this guy (vinnie) said it was the scariest/freakiest moment of his life having christopher walken eat a sandwich at him lol

dennis hopper in true romance when he's about to die

bruce willis as john mcclaine in all the die hards

samuel l jackson in pulp fiction

robert shaw in jaws

marv from sin city :worthy:

mel gibson as mad max

sigourney weaver in the loader in aliens

keria knightly in domino was very cool

and harrison ford in that bit in indianna jones where the dudes all like HAAARRAAAAGH with the sword and he just shoots him

i never thought it was possible to eat a sandwich AT someone but now i realise that if it is possible at all then its only possible for christopher walken to eat a sandwich at somebody!

 

[Ezteq]

aye you shoulda seen us when vinnie was telling this story we were all pissing ourselves and there was no question of this being untrue becuase tbh who could make that up?

 

[Lamp]

I like Robert de Niro & Al Paccino too

 

[Dreamor]

Robert Shaw / Bruce Willis / Robert Duvall / John Travolta

Mel Gibson... upto about 3-4 years ago (Patriot was probably his last good film)

Forest Whitaker is another good actor, done some great films

Voted Samuel L Jackson, but if I thought about it more... probably Clint Eastwood as I own more of his films.

 

[leviathane]

Clint or Bruce Willis.

 

[Amanita]

Actors I think are great:

James Garner
Sigourney Weaver
Donald Sutherland (Don't be giving me those negative waves man!)
Johnny Depp!
Katharine Hepburn
Robert Picardo
Ewan McGreggor

... argh I just keep thinking of them

Actors that have the "cool" factor

Mel Gibson
Bruce Willis
Samuel L. Jackson
Harrison Ford
Bill Pullman
Kate Mulgrew (just cause I was a Janeway fangirl)

... argh, too many of them too!

 

[Vasconcelos]

Well, for me, cooll actor stands for something different than great actor.
Clint is no doubt the "c00lest" and hes also a good actor, but i think hes not in the same league than the likes of DeNiro, Pacino, etc... those are well known for their versatility, while Clint was a bit stuck on the same style of character (the two words man, rude, honest, etc...)

There are 3 actors i like a lot (beside THE CLINT ofc ), both of them underrated from my pov: Christian Bale + Edward Norton + Daniel Day Lewis

 

[Dahakon]

Steve Buscemi, or Christian Bale, but from that list will have to be Sammy L

EDIT: and why has no one mentioned Morgan Freeman yet?!?! (ty to Ezteq for reminding me with the Shawshank Redemption thread)

 

[Aile]

Pure Coolness?

Robet Downy Jr in Kiss Kiss Bang Bang takes some beating!
Gerard Butler chomping an apple in The 300
John Cusack in Grosse Point Blank
And obviously Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseu!

"opinions are like assholes, everyones got one!!!!"

 

[Mikah75]

[Elkie]

How anyone can leave 'Steve Mcqueen' out of that list is beyond me...

 

[Lethul]

[collegien]

Far too many great actors to single out 1 or even a few some great names mentioned already some that havent :

Paul Newman

Jean Reno
Tom Cruise ... yeah a bit crazy irl but does well in most roles.
Joe Pesci
Jack Nicoolson
Kirk Douglas
Matt Damon
Vincent Cassel
Keanu Reaves
Jack Black
George Clooney
Ben Stiller
Daniel Craig
Jason Statham
Eddie Murphy as Donkey in Shrek!
Mike Myers as Austin Powers "cool baby yeah"

This list was brought to you today by the Childrens Television Workshop the number 7 and the letter M
oh and my Missus

 

[kirennia]

Keanu Reaves

Disagreed with a few of them but each to their own. This choice however...how. Just how :/ One of the worst high paid actors I've ever seen. In fact, I can't think of a single top end actor worse then him off the top of my head. Even Hugh Grant is better then Keanu-I-have-no-emotions-Reeves...

I would like to point out at this stage that any names that people disagree with were picked by the Wife


I will accept praise for any you like tho



errrm what a bout Robert Carlisle and Gary Oldman

and Charlie Slater from Eastenders

 

[Cerb]

Depp, Bale, Norton and day lewis for me

 

[Billargh]

I really pity people who think Jack Black is half decent. Ben Stiller > all

Oh god AND Eddie Murphy in the same list

 

[Hawkwind]

All bow before the king of cool comedy!:worthy::worthy::worthy:

 

[Bahumat]

Christopher Walken is very cool. Not sure of my favourite though, far too many!

 

[Olgaline]

abit hard to define imo who's the "coolest/best" actor
personally I have a handfull of actors all depending on wich genre we'r talking about thriller, comedy, action, drama, ect and so on...

f.exp Al pachino and Christopher Walken now both really great cool actors, but i wouldnt exactly put them in a comedy with Jack black and Jim carry..hmm and then again..come to think of it...well....

 

[tris-]

does he look like a bitch?

THEN WHY DID YOU TRY TO FUCK HIM LIKE A BITCH?

 

[Lamp]

Keanu Reaves is an appalling, wooden actor. Jason Statham ! ROFL. He's just a cockney twat who can't act for shit, and should have stuck to making Guy Ritchie movies.

 

[collegien]

I refer the honorable poster to the answer i gave some time ago.


err Jimmy Cagney ?






Jamie Eason ?
