Actors. Can't live with 'em can't live without them.

I love watching movies, as you can very well see. Well, here is my list of favorite male actors (dead or alive). I could care less. They are talents from around the world, and I truly respect them. Not just for their good looks, but that always helps. :)
First choice.

None other than one of the best actors this world has ever known, James Dean. He is super-talented, dashingly good looking, complete rebel, and amazingly gifted in the arts. He succeeded in the movie industry, with only showing three films in his short career. That's unheard of today. He worked on projects he wanted to, and created films on the side. He first learned how to act on stage, but then it transformed into his film career. His work also can also relate to many generations, which not every actor can say they have done. Everyone is still trying to figure out his death, his future in acting, his mystique, and every little detail of his life. And he died over fiftey years ago. He'd be almost 80 if he was still alive. He will always be remembered, and I truly love your work. Your a major inspiration, and I can't answer why, it just is.

International actor. Yes, from France (one of my favorite film cultures). His name is Gaspard Ulliel. Super-talented French actor that is still breaking into the American film. Only 24 years old, and has been in top-rated films. Pretty cool...huh? I'd think so, and also gorgeously handsome.


Part model, part actor. The first film I saw him in was Paris Je T'aime in the Le Marsaile district with the fantastic Gus Van Sant directing. Then I saw A Very Long Engagement, especially with a love of Jean's film Amelie. I loved his 5 and a half minutes soliloquy in Paris, I Love You, and was obsessed ever since. Still need to see the rest of his films, he is just that kind of actor. You love him and will see everything, including the crappy movies too. He is known to be a shy guy, and dreams of being a director, with amazing taste in directors and actors. Which only makes him even more appealing to girls like me. *a girlish grin and laughter ensue this actors name...


Okay, this man I love. Emile Hirsch. Heck ya!

From his role in The Emporer's Club, to his talented job in Into the Wild. Seeing Lords of Dogtown, Milk, and Alpha Dog all helped me see his huge gift he has. He can play any character, from a gay rights activist, to a wannabe-gangster, to a man living in the wild because he wants to, to a young prep school kid, to a skateboarder. Not every mid-20's American actor can say that. I love every work I've seen.He has also said he will never do a teen comedy. I applaud you, Emile. Insert group of people clapping their hands. Great acting, can't wait to see more!

Ok, the classic "chick-flick"...The Notebook. Ryan Gosling.














From not even noticing his great job in Remember the Titans as Allan, to now seeing Half Nelson, he always keeps me guessing. From his Academy Award nominated acting in Half Nelson, to his controversial role in The Believer (which will be forever engraved in my brain of his amazing acting in this indie film), to his hilariously entertaining Lars and The Real Girl. He can play just about anything, and do it with a deep-ness, and prove that this boy from Canada can act. Ryan was fantastic in The Notebook, but girls (and guys...) please see the rest of his films, they are all fantastic and he breaks whatever typecast you call him.

I'll have the next six or seven up soon. Too tired to keep on writing, I need some new wordings, and more time to figure out the rest. Please see their other films, especially the ones I mentioned. Or see them if you haven't.
