Actors nowadays who you will watch in anything


And by actors I mean, male and female.

For me:

Jason Statham
Liam Neeson

I was that way about Jack Nicholson, but he's been retired for a few years.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman was another one. He usually chose good films.

Actors still making movies is a tough one. Denzel Washington is great and doesn't make many bad movies.
Meryl Streep is such a chameleon. She could play Joseph Stalin if she really tried.
Cate Blanchett is always good.

Honestly, there's no-one now I'd watch in anything. The last was probably Gene Hackman.

I can't think of a single movie I've seen with Denzel Washington in it where I was even a bit disappointed with his performance.

I like movies with Wesley Snipes primarily because of the well choreographed fight scenes. The guy has got some bad ass moves.

The first Blade movie was awesome. I felt bad for those poor vampires by the time it was over. 🤣

Maybe not everything, but Paul Giamatti. One of my faves.

I don't think there's anyone out there that I adore to such a level that I will go out of my way to watch anything they star in.

However these currently active actresses have enough pull for me that if they're in it I'm a lot more likely to check it out;
- Mary Elizabeth Winstead
- Rebecca Hall
- Gal Gadot
- Anya Taylor-Joy
- Lea Seydoux
- Rebecca Ferguson
- Scarlett Johansson
- Jenna Ortega
- Natalie Portman
- Noomi Rapace
- Jennifer Connelly
- Famke Janssen
- Jennifer Jason Leigh

Not many young active actors I care for. Historically though people like Humphrey Bogart, Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Clint Eastwood, Anthony Hopkins, Oliver Reed, Al Pacino, Harrison Ford, Robert De Niro & Jack Nicholson among others have some pull.
