I know I am late to this meme; Twenty favorite Actors, but I promised Laura I would throw in my 2 cents. And besides, why should I let everyone else have all the fun? This one wasn't as hard, but that isn't to say I had many actors not on this list that I could've included. I love the work of many actors, but the 20 on this list represent the actors whose films I have most sought to see, just because they were in the film. (And I may have cheated on one or two entries by including teams- so sue me, it's my list!)So here they are, in no particular order- JC Loophole's Twenty Favorite Actors.

There's not much to say about acting but this. Never settle back on your heels. Never relax. If you relax, the audience relaxes. And always mean everything you say.

It's hard to argue with that list. You've got most of my favorites in there, but I would have included Gary Cooper, Burt Lancaster, Randolph Scott and maybe Kirk Douglas (or Richard Widmark) at the expense of Power, Poitier and Kelly. Not sure who I'd squeeze out for that last place though.
Yes, I could've added many more, especially the four you mentioned. By the way, I really enjoy reading your Film Journal site! Thanks for your comments!
