Favorites: ACTORS

Like I did with my favorite actresses' post earlier today, I've listed my favorite actors of all time. This time, there's forty men listed alphabetically because I couldn't find a way to keep the list any shorter. These are the guys that draw me to the theaters more than any other. I think it's a very broad and eclectic list - I don't have a certain "type" of actor that I enjoy more than others; rather, there's simply certain actors themselves who prove to be more steady than the rest. Between these forty men, they've received a whopping 108 Academy Award nominations, nabbing 26 total wins. So without any further delay, I hope you enjoy this list!
