Favorite Actor Versus Tournament Round 1

[Kivam]

I gotta go with [glow=red,2,300]Jack[/glow]

 

1) He has more range.  Anyone interested in watching Pacino do comedy?  Anyone?

 

2) I can do a wicked Jack Nicholson impression, and that's important

[Whitestar]

Jack!  Jack!  He's our man!  If he can't do it, he'll form a clan!

[MsDanya]

definatly Jack Nicolson!

 

I havent seen any Godfather movies *hides*

[Emperor]

Looks like Jack gained some momentum near the end and wins 7-3.  Danya also admitted to not seeing the Godfather movies.  This calls for an intervention....

 

 

Next up:

 

Sean Penn

 

 

vs.

 

Morgan Freeman

 

[Kivam]

C'mon, are you serious?

 

[glow=red,2,300]Freeman[/glow], hands down.  Penn's been in some good movies lately, done the brooding/sensitive/special thing, but Freeman's got gravitas, man.  Gravitas.  (I like that word.  It's fun.  Say it with me now.  Gravitas)

[Emperor]

Sean Penn is considered one of the top actors of our time and I had to include him on this list, even if he is beaten down the first round. 

[Whitestar]

First one that I don't even have to think about.

 

Morgan Freeman is God!

[SinisterDeath]

Sean Penn is considered one of the top actors of our time and I had to include him on this list, even if he is beaten down the first round. 

 

He is a good actor, but [glow=red,2,300]Freeman[/glow] is just so much better. :P

[MsDanya]

[glow=red,2,300]Sean Penn! [/glow]

 

because apparently Mystic River rocks  ::)

[Tenshin_Xo]

Freeman.  Penn's best role IMO is in Fast Times, great movie and good role, but he's a bit limited.

[Emperor]

I have to go with [glow=red,2,300]Morgan Freeman[/glow] as well, if not only because of Glory and Shawshank.

 

Freeman: 4

Penn: 1

[Cadsuane]

Morgan Freeman, for exactly the reason Kivam gave.

[Haxorsist]

Morgan Freeman gets my vote too.

[Kivam]

“You tolerate me, you really tolerate me. [Accepting his Independent Spirit Award]”

Sean Penn quote

 

 

[Silver]

like the others, Freeman

[Barmacral]

Morgan Freeman of course. Shawshank was amazing.

[Majsju]

Gah, another tough one. I have to go with Penn though, for childhood memories of his performance in Bad Boys. Seeing it again as an adult, the film wasn't as great as I remembered it, but it did make quite an impact.

 

And Morgan starred in Bruce Almighty, which is a major blow to his credibility.

[chillimous]

Freeman. Fact.

[Emperor]

Looks like Freeman was a very popular choice that round and moves into round 2 with ease. 

 

Ok ladies (and Hax), try to calm down when voting for this next versus....

 

Sir Anthony Hopkins

 

 

vs.

 

 

Johnny Depp

 

[Kivam]

[glow=red,2,300]Depp[/glow]  He's just more complex as an actor, and his characters - with the exception of Hannibal Lechter (who, lets be honest, was only really compelling in Silence) - are more memorable

[Haxorsist]

Why wouldn't I be calm? What's so special about Anthony Hopkins? Wait... OMG it's Johnny Depp! *screams and faints*

 

It's a close one, but I'm gonna go for [glow=red,2,300]Johnny Depp[/glow].

 

Are we glowing or bolding the votes? I seem to do a bit of both.

[MsDanya]

I have to say Johnny Depp. he is one of my favourite actors, and no, its not just because he's he hottest pirates ever  :P

[Tenshin_Xo]

A good chianti is better than rum.  As a fellow foodie, I have to go for Hopkins, anyone want to come over for dinner?

[Talya]

This is hard...both are good actors but I'll have to go with [glow=red,2,300]Johnny Depp[/glow] And it has nothing to do with looks... ::)

[SBoydW]

just to be contrary.... [glow=red,2,300]Hopkins[/glow]
