We've discussed actors we don't like, now lets give props (no pun intended) to those we do like/love to see on screen. I love these actors:
Queen Latifah (Jersey Girl too!) Two of my all time favorite shows starred The Queen. Living Single and The Equalizer.
Joe Morton, loved him in Eureka and everything else I've seen him in.
Tom Selleck (hooked me in Magnum, intrigued me in Jesse Stone and love him in Blue Bloods. That smile gets me every time.
Keith David, my cousin who is a magnificent stage and voice actor, as well as prolific film and T.V. actor.

One of my favorites is Noomi Rapace. From the Dragon Tattoo movies (the real Swedish ones, not the awful American remakes) to Icelandic Lamb farmer to the upcoming Apple TV space thriller to numerous other movies and TV shows; I am impressed with her range and ability and just find her enjoyable to watch.
 
~Kyle Chandler Haven't seen him in much but he's so likable whatever he's in.
~Chiwetel Ejiofor is so compelling that I feel I must see everything he's in.
~Jeff Bridges. Loved him in Starman and if he wasn't the star of The Old Man, I wouldh't have watched. It started out slow but then it got good, so I'm glad I stayed with it.

This may sound absurd, but my two most favorite films would be The Wizard of Oz and Singing In The Rain. Two that helped to make those films immortal were Judy Garland for her rendition of Somewhere Over The Rainbow, and Gene Kelly for his dancing as well as his work on the structure of the film and the dance of others.
 
Little did I know when I watched Moonlighting with Bruce Willis and Sybil Sheppard, that he would become one of my favorite actors. He and Samuel L. Jackson were a good team in Die Hard With A Vengence. I enjoyed all the Die Hard movies and loved him in The Fifth Element, one of my favorite movies. I have enjoyed every character that I've seen Samuel L. play. I also really like Morgan Freeman.
 
YES...Bradley Cooper!
Hugh Jackman
Robert Redford
Paul Newman
Emma Stone
Sandra Bullock
Morgan Freeman
Jeff Bridges
Gerard Butler
Ryan Reynolds (funniest guy in real life)
Ryan Gosling
Rachel McAdams
Jude Law

Keanu Reeves
Maggie Smith
Steve Martin...Father of the Bride (part I )

So many of the older actors and actresses are always great to see, like Jimmy Steward, Robert Dinero (sp?), Gene Kelly, and so on.

As for somewhat newer actors, I have a few that I look for. My favorite tv show is Lucifer, so I always enjoy seeing Tom Ellis.

I looked him up on YouTube and found an interview with him. I was more impressed than ever, when I saw that he is nothing at all like the character that he plays!!

I'm watching season 6. I'm enjoying the "h*ll" out of it!! (tee-hee
