I would prefer to poke my eyes out with blunt sticks than watch Brian Blessed!

Laim Neeson, Harvey Keitel, more obviously De Niro and Pacino.

I tell you who I can't stand Russell Crowe - His portrayal of Robin Hood was farcical . Every scene he was in was with a different accent . Laughable .
For me Anthony Hopkins and female Charlize Theron.

There is an urban legend about Laurence Olivier and Dustin Hoffman.

Hoffman was on set getting all worked up into a lather for a torture scene in Marathon Man and Olivier sauntered across and asked him what he was doing.

- I am getting into the role.

- Oh, you should try acting my dear boy!!!!

Genius!!!

Having said that I do like Hoffman as an actor.

Tom Hanks - urgh - the best movie he has been in was Toy Story - because you couldn't see him.

Totally synthetic.

Gene Hackman - great call

Albert Finney is good too - very characterful

Robin Williams has done some amazing work (and some equally truly dreadful work!!)

Which brings to mind his co-star Natalie Portman.
A better example to our young than the celebrity trash that seems to infest my television these days.
