Hey, you beat me to Jason Statham.
Man, that guy is supercool.
I've been a fan since "Lock, Stock" and "Snatch", and he keeps getting better. He would have been my first choice for Bond, and he was in the running for a while.
Just watch him in Transporter: all action!
And in Crank, where he downs a box of viagra to keep himself "on his feet"....

I was thinking of adding Jason Statham to my list too. He is very cool and likable, and I've liked him since his appearances in the early Guy Richie movies too.
Right now, there's not a lot of guys that draw me to the movies. I'd probably go with Clive Owen. I have a list of guys who I think are great like Daniel Day-Lewis and Sean Penn, but they don't always draw me out. All-time, it's Humphrey Bogart: no contest.
Wow you guys have all named great actors!!! Its hard for me to narrow it down to one,
I love Kurt Russel.
Some others I enjoy are Depp, Willis ,Costner ( I love the Postman and Waterworld)
I love Kim Bassinger too, but for other reasons!

I definitely have a top ten, but the #1 spot on that list is Denzel Washington. Not many actors can play a good guy or a dirt bag as convincingly as Denzel.

One thing's for sure --TRAINING DAY is one my top movies of all-time---
and the GANGSTER flick he was in----he did a great job with---altho'
I thought the movie was just "good" not "great" like TDAY.

So dead actors apply, too, huh?
Hmmmm.
Makes it so much harder.
Karloff would definitely be scoring high in my book.
He could play gentle and vicious effortlessly.
My posthumous vote goes to Uncle Boris!
PS: followed closely by Peter Cushing, Chris Lee, Vincent Price,....

Eastwood for me. When ol' Clint passes, I think we should have a national day of mourning. And I am not kidding.
Other than that, I can't really think of any actor who will get me to watch a movie no matter the subject. Almost everyone on your lists is somone whose work I have enjoyed, though.
I guess my pick would be Gary Oldman. I really like Keitel, but for the most part you know what the role is going to be when he's cast. Smoke was a nice alternate role for Harvey.
