Is there a theme running here?? Just thinking of male actors here.
Anthony Hopkins, Robin Williams, Most of the old actors like Gregory Peck, Dirk Bogarde etc.
Female - Audrey Hepburn. Bette Davis, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Judi Dench, Jodie Foster, Marion Cotillard, Katy segal.
What about actors we find over rated? for me it's Micheal Caine. He's been in some good films but he's the same character in every single one of them. I don't think he's bad as such, he is just kind of 'meh' for me. The critics bow down to him and say he's so wonderful at acting but I can't see it. What do I know though?
Julia Roberts - in
Julia Roberts - in everything
Robert Downey Jnr - in everything especially as Iron Man though
