    With the passing of Sir Sean Connery, one of my favorites, it got me to thinking of who everybody's favorite actor is.

    In no particular order my tops are Connery, Morgan Freeman, Denzel Washington, Robert DeNiro, Harrison Ford and Samuel L. Jackson.

    Mine wouldn't be A listers in most people's opinions....I like actors like Tim Roth, John Turturro, Helena Bonham Carter, Viggo Mortensen, Gary Oldman....John Goodman.. Don Cheadle.and my favorite probably ever was Phillip Seymour Hoffman or Sam Rockwell....the actors who make small independent films work

    You said “actor” so I assumed you were looking at make leads. I have a bunch of favorite actresses, many of whom have already been listed. Susan Sarandon and Maggie Smith would be a couple of suggestions.
