My two favorite Actors are Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. I own almost all their films...yes even purchased some really bad ones which were only produced on VHS...I converted to DVD.

Sean Connery is a classic actor.. had some very well done movies. A quick check of IMBD says his last movie was in 2003 The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen

Yeah... he's been out of action for a while. I guess the age might be catching up with him, not sure. One of my favorite movies he played in is Medicine Man. But there were not many that I did not think he was splendid.

Ed Norton is one of my favorites...
I'm going to go outlier here and say Tom Cruise. Controversial public figure... but he gets some great roles.
Also a huge fan of the great late Alan Rickman (who played one of the greatest villains ever: Hans Gruber)

I'll add a vote for Tom Cruise. He has made some spectacular movies.
And 7-1/2 years later he’s added a few more.
Favorite actress would be Jodie Foster.

Keanu Reeves is appealing on so many levels. Part of it for me is the fact that he's (apparently) a genuinely friendly, down-to-earth person when it comes to how he behaves in public. Of course, you don't know someone until you know them... but he comes across as a good one.
@JStewart, Jody Foster is fantastic. She's plays a great 'intelligent and sophisticated character that has vulnerabilities but inner strength.' Lots of fun to watch.

I agree and find she can make an otherwise questionable movie/show worth watching. A most recent example being HBOs True Detective Season 4. All of which is perhaps why her career spans almost 50 years at this point.

There are way too many to have a favorite but the two that always stand out for me is Al Pacino and Robert De Niro. Females I like Meryl Streep, Sydney Sweeney and Mia Goth they can do it all especially drama.

Tom Cruise and Val Kilmer for sure. I also seem to like Brad Pitt in whatever he does. Ana de Armas and Rebecca Ferguson would be up there for actresses.
Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer had some solid films early on.
