I rather like that Johnny Depp fellow. Splendid hat that chap wore in his last movie. Looked like something I would wear. Perhaps even carry small human girls in. Oh, and that Mia Wasikowska! Oh, she does resemble what Alice must look like by now. Alice is terribly late, you know. Naughty girl.

Johnny Depp is my favorite male actor because he's so incredibly talented! Angelina Jolie is my favorite female actress because I think she's a great actress and does so many good things for other people and nations.
In my opinion Kevin Spacey is a great actor because of how diverse his roles are. He does such a great job with his characters and brings a lot to his movies.

Actors: Johnny Depp, Bill Nighy, Christian Bale, Owen Wilson, Adam Sandler, Colin Firth, Kurt Russell, Tom Hanks, Ben Stiller, Liam Neeson.

Actresses: Cate Blanchett, Hilary Swank, Jennifer Lopez, Anne Hathaway, Keira Knightley, Anna Popplewell, Natasha Richardson, Kate Hudson, Drew Barrymore.

That's a few and I have more.

Mine:

They're my top ones.

Kate Beckinsale
Natalie Dormer
Charlie Cox

..I seriously can't think, but I'll be back.

Here are more:

Actresses:

Kate Winslet, Georgie Henley, Kate Hudson and Kelly Reilly.

Actors:

Leonardo di Caprio, Ian Sommerhalder, Johnny Depp, Orlando Bloom, Skandar Keynes, and Ben Barnes.

I admire Christian Bale's dedication and perseverance. He is, I believe, one of the greatest actors ever. You can see in every movie he's done the amount of work he's put into the role, whether is losing weight or staying in character when not filming etc.

Other Actors: Ben Barnes, Viggo Mortenson (though I still can't get over the fact he doesn't look anything like Aragorn in real life! ), Elijah Wood, Richard Dean Anderson and Kiefer Sutherland.

Actresses:
Charity Wakefield - she was stunning as Marianne in Sense and Sensibility
Ruth Wilson - fantastic Jane Eyre
Nicole Kidman, Kate Winslet, Anne Hathaway, Julie Andrews and Emma Watson.

Can't think of anyone else off the top of my head.

It's great seeing all these favorites being LotR actors! But so far, I don't think I've seen anyone mention Liv Tyler. I haven't seen her in anything except LotR, but I love Arwen!

Sean Bean is also great. He does a good job as the bad guy in National Treasure 1!

II don't think I've seen anyone mention Liv Tyler. I haven't seen her in anything except LotR, but I love Arwen!

Liv Tyler does a great job in the very fun movie That Thing You Do. She plays the girlfriend of the lead singer in a band (called the Wonders--or Oneders ) It's a great movie, and she really shows her versatility between playing a role like Faye in a comedy and then Arwen in LotR. She's not an actress who has been typecast.

Great, I accidentally x'd out my post. Will have to start all over again.
Here it goes:
Actresses:
Georgie Henley
Cate Blanchett

Actors:
Christopher Lee
William Moseley
Viggo Mortensen
Orlando Bloom (mostly as Legolas)
Hugo Weaving
James Caviezel (great performance as "Jesus" in "The Passion of the Christ"
Sean Bean
Liam Neeson
& possibly Logan Lerman

Haha am I the only one who doesn't recognize Sean Bean as the bad guy in National Treasure? I've seen that movie at least five times, but I can't see the resemblance...maybe I need to observe more. Usually when I'm watching a movie and a LOTR or Narnia actor comes up I'm like "THERE'S ELIJAH WOOD. THATS HIM! THATS HIM! YOU KNOW FRODO??!!" But I don't see Sean Bean...

oh and Mark Hamon, Matt Boomer, and Cote de Pablo. Lol in some ways I wish I was just a little bit like Ziva.

Leonardo di Caprio and James McAvoy!!!!!

Actors:
Elijah Wood (only because of Frodo)
Sean Astin (They couldn't possibly have found a Sam)
Dominic Monaghan (is that how you spell it?)
Billy Boyd (epic as Pippin)
Sean Bean (epic as Boromir and the guy in National Treasure)
Viggo Mortensen (he is Aragorn)
Orlando Bloom (mostly for Legolas, he was OK in Pirates)
John Rhys-Davies (awesomly epic as Gimli)
Ian McKellen (so amazing as Gandalf, such a great actor)
Peter Jackson (his cameos in LotR, that is )
Christopher Lee (EPIC as Saruman, great as Count Dooku)
Bernard Hill (King Théoden)
Karl Urban (Éomer)
David Wenham (Faramir)
Hugo Weaving (only because he played Elrond, though I think they could have picked someone better)
Kiran Shah (Elijah Woods's size double and Ginarrbrik)
ANDY SERKIS (without him, Gollum wouldn't exist)
FIGWIT (all true LotR fans should know who he is )
Any others in LotR I missed......
William Moseley
Skandar Keynes
Liam Neeson (Aslan and Qui-Gon Jin)
James McAvoy
Ben Barnes
Harry Gregson-Williams (as Pattertwig)
Ewan McGregor (Obi-Wan!)
