I base my favorites not necessarily for their pure acting ability, but also because I have liked several of their movies.

Kevin Costner (Field of Dreams is one of my all-time favorites)
Alec Baldwin (for screen presence alone)
Harrison Ford (like a lot of his movies)
Arnold Schwartznegger (like a lot of his movies)
Keanu Reeves (just becuase The Matrix is my all-time favorite movie)
...and Morgan Freeman - who I consider quite an underrated actor

other noteables: (not sure if women are to be excluded)
Jack Nicholson
Mel Gibson
Tom Cruise
Julia Roberts
John Travolta (he plays a great bad guy)

[Manbient]

Well i'm glad a lot of people put Brad Pitt in theirs... I could see him getting a bad rep because so many girls are gaga over him so us boys decide he must be like Britney Spears and only popular because of his looks. That being said i think he is my favorite actor, especially when he does weird roles (which is almost always hehe) like his role in 12 Monkey, Fight Club, Snatch, etc. When he plays those role he is the best!

Other wicked Actors:

Kevin Spacey
Edward Norton

Actually that's about the only ones that stand out in my mind... De Niro, Freeman, and Pacino are good too.

I like Neve Campbell, despite her role in some more recent films. There is just something about her. After reading about her, we have a lot in common. She's Canadian, too.

Duvall, I want to see Dancer in the Dark. One of my friends likes Björk a lot and suggested it.
