Who would be your favourite actor/actress on the big screen?

For me personally, it would be none other than the great Marlon Brando, widely regarding by many as the most influential actor to ever grace Hollywood.

"Simply put, in film acting, there is before Brando, and there is after Brando. And they are like different worlds." Rick Lyman, in The New York Times (July 2, 2004)

From a Streetcar named Desire, The Waterfront, The Godfather, Superman, Apocalypse Now and a Last Tango in Paris, there are just so many roles in which his method acting shines.

Even in his obviously phoned-in roles though (such as The Island of Dr. Moreau), I find him pretty watchable.

He is just that good of an actor, and not just because he was incredibly handsome.

I find the man endlessly fascinating, not only as an actor, but also as a person.

From his legendary eating habits that would make even the biggest foodies among us gasp, to his behaviour on set, his box office demands (11% of Superman's box office, seriously?!!!), and his notable disdain for Hollywood itself, nothing abut his life is boring.

So, who would be your pick and why?

Brendan Gleeson. He’s a very versatile actor. He was great in films such as In Bruges, The Guard and Calvary. Most recently, he was brilliant as Bill Hodges in the tv series Mr. Mercedes.

The original TMNT cast are my favourite voice actors. Together, they created a great dynamic.

In terms of voice actors, I would definetly agree that the original tmnt cast are definetly up there in terms of how well they worked off each other.

I would even argue that the 1987 voice actors are far superior than any other voice actors for any other tmnt incarnation, their charisma and chemistry is just that good.

Even some of the replacement voice actors were not too bad.

I respect that. Great guy.

I don't know. I think I'd still go Bill Murray. Nobody sells "I don't give a f**k" better than him while still delivering both drama and laughs.

Just 1 actor?

Charlie Chaplin? I do have a lot of his movies on dvd.
Clint Eastwood? For his westerns?
Clark Gable? A legend right there?
Little Miss Darling Shirley Temple?
James Cagney was fun also.
And I love Errol Flynn's action movies.

Maybe I stould say the best voice acting team. The reason was because they recorded the voices together, and had fun, inside a Los Angeles studio

I can imagine Pat Fraley waving his hands like tentacles when recording Krang's voice, to create a better feeling. :)
