Fanlistings: Actors (Male)
Johnny Depp
Magnetic on screen, and able to bring depth to any character, and he's particularly great at intense, often slightly quirky roles - Edward Scissorhands, Ichabod Crane (Sleepy Hollow), Agent Sands (Once Upon a Time in Mexico).
Ian McKellen
For my 21st birthday treat, I saw Ian McKellen in Ibsen's Enemy of the People at the National Theatre. Wonderful on both stage and screen, and I also admire his advocacy of gay rights in recent years.
Laurence Olivier
One of the all-time greats. His Hamlet was probably the most influential portrayal of that character for me (my favourite play), and I also love the dark and brooding intensity in Rebecca and other films.
David Tennant
An excellent actor, he's become my favourite Doctor Who. I also saw him on stage with the Royal Shakespeare Company as a simply wonderful Hamlet.
Hugo Weaving
I've sought out his films since seeing him in Lord of the Rings. An excellent and versatile actor; I admire his willingness to take on less conventional roles (eg Tick in Priscilla, Queen of the Desert). And he's into animal rights too :)
Elijah Wood
I'm a fan of Elijah primarily for his portrayal of Frodo in Lord of the Rings, always one of my favourite characters. I was impressed by the talent shown in earlier films too, like The Ice Storm and Deep Impact.
