FEATURED
ACTORS / ACTRESSES

 |
GARY
OLDMAN
Actors - 10/04/07
The ultimate chameleonic character actor whose string of
performances during the late 80s and early 90s is only
equalled by Marlon Brando in the 50s. |
 |
ELLEN
BURSTYN
Actors - 22/03/07
Perhaps the biggest female talent of them all, but Ellen
Burstyn never quite shot to superstardom. Maybe just as
well, because this intelligent, level-headed woman knows more
about life than most actresses. |
 |
WILLIAM
HURT
Actors - 02/12/06
One of the classiest classically
trained, all-American leading men with a career
spanning from sex symbol in the 80s to Cronenberg
gangster last year |
 |
ALAN
ALDA
Actors - 19/02/05
One of the most beloved performers of the past thirty years,
Alan Alda gained immortality through Hawkeye Pierce one of
the best ever acted tv-characters and followed up defining
the tolerant, intelligent, middle-aged sensitive man in
films from the early eighties. |
 |
ROBERT
DUVALL
Actors - 07/02/05
One of the most prolific, intense and skilful actors of our
time, Robert Duvall has been a star for forty years and is
still going strong. His depth of character is arguably
unequalled. |
 |
JENNIFER
JASON LEIGH
Actors - 06/02/05
This beautiful actress doesn't like to play the girl next
door. She likes to dig into the periphery of humans. Roger
Ebert dubbed her 'the fearless adventurer of extreme roles'.
I dub her the most sexy actress of the past fifteen years. |
 |
JOHNNY
DEPP
Actors - 05/02/05
From enigmatic, alternative leading man to one of the
biggest stars in the business. Johnny Depp isn't the
archetypical movie-star. He's off-beat, dark, secretive and
chameleonic. And not to forget, the sexiest man around. |
 |
NATALIE
PORTMAN
Actors - 04/02/05
This sensual, strikingly beautiful and undeniably talented
actress has been a movie star for ten years but has only
just started. Check out the future queen of Hollywood. |
 |
BURT
REYNOLDS
Actors - 07/01/05
Perhaps no other actor has conquered the world merely based
on charm and charisma in the way Burt Reynolds did in the
seventies. His talents have been debated, but his screen
presence was singular. |
 |
CHRISTIAN
BALE
Actors - 20/12/04
He came from nowhere to a leading role in Steven Spielberg's
Empire of the Sun and has since slowly built a name for
himself. Now Christian Bale is ready to conquer the world. |
 |
GLENN
CLOSE
Actors - 20/12/04
A slow starter, but Glenn Close shot to instant stardom in
the early eighties displaying a range and understanding of
characters that has made her one of the most respected women
in the business.. |
 |
PHILIP
SEYMOUR HOFFMAN
Actors - 20/12/04
Perhaps the best young character actor to emerge in Hollywood during
the past twenty years. Hoffman is still only at the start of
his career, and his potential is unarguable. |
 |
WARREN
BEATTY
Actors'
Few people in Hollywood have gone their own way to the
extent of Warren Beatty. A charismatic actor and a creative
filmmaker who has only ever starred in 22 pictures since his
debut in 1961. |
 |
JAMES
STEWART
Actors'
"Jimmy Stewart is less a movie star than he is a
cultural icon", claimed Leonard Maltin. Here we review
the career of one of the most elegant, suave and beloved
actors in the history of cinema. |
 |
EDWARD
NORTON
Actors'
Perhaps the greatest acting talent Hollywood has seen since
the early days of Marlon Brando. And this versatility and
shrewd young man has only just begun. |
 |
HARVEY
KEITEL
Actors'
Scorsese-companion Keitel has built himself a career more
patiently than most by focusing on artistic integrity and a
willingness to take a chance.
|
 |
MERYL
STREEP
Actors'
The determined and unpretentious diva who, despite conveying
everything Hollywood is not, has written one of the greatest
success stories the city has seen. |
 |
JEFF
BRIDGES
Actors'
The sparkling kid has grown up. Once a prodigal son of the
seventies, now one of Hollywood's most innate character
actors. Of course, he's also son of one of the most
hilarious men in the history of cinema. |
 |
SIR
JOHN GIELGUD
Actors'
Perhaps the last of a tradition of great Shakesperian
actors. Gielgud's career has been as assorted and diverse
as his private life has been encircled in controversy. Even
until his death at 96, the old veteran was highly active. |
 |
MARLON
BRANDO
Actors'
One of, if not the greatest talent in movie history, whose
broad range of characters ranges from vulnerable youths to
lowlifes in stained raincoats. An eccentric individualist
and a media-shy rebel, but also one of the 20th century's
greatest men. |
 |
ELIJAH
WOOD
Actors'
Elijah Wood, one of the most talented youngsters Hollywood
has seen, started off as an exceptionally emotional child
star before maturing with the role of
Frodo in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. |
