Yeah, let’s for the sake of it say a personal top three of each. Living or dead, from way back to the present day. It’s a toughie because there have been so many great performers over the years, but i’m sure you could narrow those numbers down, revealing your true, genuine faves. Okay, i’ll start with my selections.

Actors
Clint Eastwood
Robert De Niro
Steve Mcqueen

Actresses
Audrey Hepburn
Madeline Kahn
Uma Thurman

I’m not at home to acting snobbery here. The acting prowess of each personal choice is not up for debate. Simply individual preferences based on your own unique tastes. You may begin.

@SuperMouse No laughing from me. I almost put Christopher Walken on my list. I also love his role in True Romance. He had a part in one of the best scenes in that film. imo

@ucme You used to. Before you became so clinical and matter of fact.
These days, I half expect to see you approach me in the street brandishing a clip-board!
Where has the real you gone?
