Yes, you read it right - other actors! Shocked

Besides the lovely Mr Rickman, which other actors and actresses do you admire (read: appreciate the work of and/or drool over!)? Here's a choice few of my own faves...

- Dwight Schultz (the man is a mad genius! I met him last year too - he's very nice!)
- Dirk Benedict (because you can't have Dwight without Dirk! I met him as well. He has very soft hands... Smile

)
- David Wenham (yum!)
- Nigel Hawthorne
- Juliet Stevenson
- James Spader
- William Shatner (LOL!!!)
- Matt McKenzie (that VOICE!)
- John DiMaggio
- Vincent Price (Apparently Alan has been compared to him but can't see the link himself... I think I can. Sort of.)
- Christopher Lee (I love Hammer etc!)
- Peter Cushing (see above!)
- Ian McKellan
- Emma Thompson
- John Barrowman (he's so funny!)
- Nathan Lane (ditto)

Opinions, anyone?

Besides Alan I like Andy Garcia and Dennis Quaid. Apart from the wonderful way these men tell stories they are good to look at. I like cinema therefore there are a lot of other actors I enjoy.
My favourite actress is Emma Thompson

I admire Emma Thompson a great deal too... In fact, I named one of my cats after her!

I also like Nicole Kidman, Sigourney Weaver, and Annette O'Toole (although she's not in a lot these days... I think she's highly underrated.) I also always liked Stockard Channing (will always love her Rizzo). I might take some flack for this, but I just loved Molly Ringwald when I was a teenager. She was my absolute fave back in the days of leg warmers and Reaganomics, LOL!! Laughing

I actually just wrote a Ringwald retrospective for the mag I write for. I thought it was one of my best articles ever. I really want to write about Alan but I've already done a review on Snowcake, so I don't want overkill... Wink

I just love Emma Thompson! In fact, my ex used to call me Emma, cause he thought I looked like her! I didn´t hate that!

I really like Cate Blanchett, Sigourney Weaver, Stellan Skarsgård, Peter Stormare (Go Sweden!), John Cusack and Hugh Laurie (Love him SO MUCH in Sense and Sensibility! All great actors.

I don't think I would be too offended by that!! The only person I've ever been told I look like is Sarah Ferguson!! And that was when I was thinner and she wasn't!! (not sure what that means?) I used to have long hair, and ours is the same color (I think that's what it was)

I think that means no man notices the finer shades of thin or thinner when there is long red hair to gaze at. Rolling Eyes

I don't know...with red hair, people either love it or hate it, and there are quite a few haters out there!! You won't believe how many people come into our Labor and Deilvery saying "I hope my baby doesn't have red hair!" Confused

@ Nora: What rubbish! I would adopt the Weasley Twins straight away.

My hair is not dyed ruby-red because I have a pale compexion to go with my grey-blue eyes and ash-blonde hair. But if I dared, i would.
