I don't know, man.

She's like the porn star for guys who are angry at women.

She's doesn't even have that good of a rack for a porn star, with the amount of porn available on the internet you can do better than that Bullockist.

**Bullockist**

I admire her fortitude and ability to act .

To be fair I shouldn't be judging as I'm probably am into more lame, embarrassing and/or ridiculous stuff when it comes to porn.

**Bullockist**

Meh, enjoy your kinks, unless your into shame as a kink. In which case be shamed all you want.

Why is liking Sasha Grey "women hating" , are women liking dominatrix stuff man hating?

**Monster Rain**

Nah, I just wonder where the demand for the sort of anger that seems to be taken out on Sasha comes from.

**Bullockist**

I think it's a kind of power thing, much like dripping wax on someone , or whipping someone ect.

**Muhr**

Philip Seymour-Hoffman. Or that geezer that stumbles into things all the time and screams nonsense at coppers just because he can....what's his name, now?....That's it!....Kate Beckinsale! WELL fit!

**Kovnik Obama**

No favourites, but right now I'm apparently going through a Sam Neill phase.

Watched In the Mouth of Madness two days ago, Event Horizon yesterday, and I'm downloading Hunt for Red October right now...

Kinda wondering why all the movies he's been in since Jurassic Park 2 seems to be worse and worse...

She's got an amazing lower backside, tho. And is one of the few ''actresses'' in the industry who apparently got taste when it comes to lingerie.

But I dislike how vocal she is. And that's usually not something I dislike...

**Ensis Ferrae**

There are very few actors out there that I will outright watch a movie simply because they are in it.. but here goes:

Michael Caine
Clint Eastwood
Paul Newman
Sean Connery
Anthony Hopkins
Bruce Willis

As for actresses, I really can't point to a few, because many have bad roles (or rather, roles they shoulda said no to), or roles that just didnt quite fit their actual abilities.
But one of my current faves is:

Amy Adams... I have a bit of a thing for redheads.

**PredaKhaine**

Favourite actors...I can't actually think of any.
I do have a favourite voice actor - Frank Welker. If you don't know who he is (and everyone should) look him up. Cos he's in almost EVERYTHING. Remember that cartoon you watched as a kid? He's in that too.
http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0919798/

Untill 2011, he was the highest grossing actor in hollywood. But Samuel L. Jackson has overtaken him now.

**d3m01iti0n**

I dont know Sasha Gray but Claire Dames is always interesting.

**rodgers37**

I could list quite a few, but I suppose thats agains the rules

Actor: Danny Dyer (he's hilarious)
Actress: Dianna Agron (She's perfect)

**BaconUprising**

I personally find sasha grey as ugly as hell but that's just me... I tend to prefer female actors over male. I just think they play more interesting roles. With a few exceptions of course.

Really? I mean... really? She'd try to seduce you and you'd throw bricks at her?

I get that beauty is (partly) subjective, and that she might not make your top 10, but still... I feel she should be a solid 9 in just about anyone's book.

Oh well...

She's has a nice face but has a gakky rack, so she's not a 9 something like a 7 or maybe an 8.

**Wyrmalla**

Adrien Brody. I raise you one smexy fether.

And I've actually found him to be quite a committed actor in his films. He was rather good in the Darjeeling Limited, were of course he was fighting off Owen Wilson for Best Nose in the Academy Awards that year...

Its a toss up between him and Sam Rockwell for me. He only wins out because, whilst I probably enjoy Rockwell more, Adrien doesn't comes across as being a nicer person. =P

**BaconUprising**

If sasha grey started trying to seduce me I would throw a rock at her

**Ouze**

Since we're in a favorite Actor/Actress thread, I think I might take a moment with you all, and remember all those That Guy actors who never, ever get to be on these lists.

I recognised Danny Trejo from that list and the face of the guy two after him but apart from that....

**Ouze**

Yeah, that list is pre-Machete (2007 to be exact), I think he's actually a recognizable name now.

**BaconUprising**

Yeah my favourite Saoires Ronan isn't that well known.

If you had said least favorite actors I could have named quite a few more. The past couple of years has really brought some atrocities to the big screen.

So, so true...

I had almost tried to like Mila Jovovich since there aren't that many physical action type actresses out there... Then I found out what a total hyper jumped-up diva-b she is.

However, my one cousin had a super time hanging out with Russel Crowe when Cinderella Man was being filmed. (my cousin was an extra)
He also told me that Oded Fehr is litterly Mr.Super-Nice Guy, and even jokingly apologised for shooting him again and again all night! (from when my cousin was a zombie in Res Evil 2)

I also had a blast hanging out with a couple of the actors from the LotR films during a convention while working as an Outrider at the GW area of the event. Craig Parker (Haldir) is a pretty funny guy, and a couple of us got him hooked into the Space Wolves novel series!
Best moment though was when Craig overheard about how I love swords, and actually asked to spar a bit to see if I was any good!

Oded Fehr is an awesome actor. He made Resident Evil 2 and 3 the best of the group, easily. He also did a great job in the Mummy movie, and was even fun in Deuce Bigalo (terribly movie, his acting was good).

Favorite actors, definitely Ryan Reynolds and Samuel L. Jackson. Favorite actress? It's gotta be Mila Kunis or Natalie Portman. Probably Mila, as Natalie didn't do such a hot job in SW3...

Oded was top notch for sure, but to be fair, Ian Glen was tops in Res Evil 3 as that villan you simply love to hate, but can't help yourself from secretly rooting for him!

The scene where Dr.Isaacs realised the 'SUD' Zombie is about to go postal, slowly walks out of the containment chamber, locks it tight, then watches his two assistants get torn to shreds and then finishes the scene with a look of utter disgust and that little tug on his collar!
He took 'absolute cliche' and turned into epic bad@$$ery!

It was just too bad that movie was his first actual time involving make-up prosthetics... (2-3 hours or so to turn him into the Tyrant, then another pain-filled hour or two to get him out of the crap!)

I think she's going to be a seriously big name in a few years, if she doesn't Lohan it up somehow.

Well I suppose I lied there as. She is very well know and has played a lot of major roles. I agree with what you said and I think that's what I meant, she has a MASSIVE potential career ahead of her much bigger than it is now. Although Hanna, the lovely bones, atonement and the way back is a pretty dam good starting point!

+1 to the above except Dog Soldiers, Attack of the Werewolves (haven't seen them, so can't comment) and Critters. I take it you mean the original 1986 version of Transformers rather than Bayformers? And I like the Sandler version too ^_^

I also quite like:

Kill Bill
Serenity
Battle Royale
The Usual Suspects
UHF
Dragnet

**The_mini_painter**

I don't really have a favourite actor so here are my top 3:
-Robert Downey JR
-Gary Oldman
-Liam Neeson

Actress would have to be Scarlett Johansson.
