I love live theater and movies. I love getting lost in a story. I love the magic of cinema, and special effects, the way the sound track moves the story along, and the perfect choice of songs used at perfect moments.
An actor brings you into their art unlike any other creative form. With painting, dance, poetry, literature while the artist's personality effects what they create, it is not directly about them. Whereas with an actor, and often a singer, they are the medium. And what they create with their gestures, their voice, glances, it can feel so personal.
My favorite actor? I can't decide. There are so many talented actors. To name a few -- I admire Meryl Streep for her depth and poise, Jodi Foster for her beauty and intensity, Richard Gere, well for being Richard Gere, Renee Zellweger for her cool voice and her uniqueness, Michael Douglas for his pure brilliance, and there is something so cool about Kevin Bacon!
There are some amazing child actors as well. Dakota Fanning. Abigail Breslin. Jaden Smith. And Lili Reinhart, my daughter's friend. Remember that name. I think you will see her on the big screen someday.
Thanks, Skylar, for this idea. Next week, the theme is Valentine's Day. How is it celebrated in your country? Do you have any personal traditions?

i'll try not to forget the name, theresa!
Hey Thereesa, I am not an asidue corner viewer but I'm around...as you say, the talents can be so different and bring us so much.....dificult to choose.....have a lovely day !
the excitement that your kids and you take in the acting world is the sweetest! thanks, theresa, for sharing your family a little bit with all of US.
Yes, there are so many to choose from and sometime you just can't compare them. My favorites tend to be ones who can play the comedy just as well as the Drama when you forget who they are as an actor and really see the character.
I like theater and cinema for the same reasons... and, it's really difficult to choose, you're right! So, we can do CV for all the actors that give us emotions...
A wonderful topic indeed this week. There are so many actors of yesterday, today and the ones of tomorrow we don't even know yet. xo
I like 'em all!

Yeah, I love Jodie foster, she was hilarious in Nim's Island as the neurotic lady who wouldn't leave her house. :P
