Who are the best Hollywood actors and actresses?

Since we're always obsessing over American actors and A-listers, I figured it’s about time we give some love to the talent on our side of the pond, whether they're household names or just rising stars. Hollywood might get all the hype, but the film scene here doesn't miss a beat...🙂

Tim Roth (I've already said my piece about him a few times🙂), I was going to put him down right away, but since he's such a staple in Hollywood too, I'll stick to some "lesser-known" actors from overseas instead.

Timothy Spall 🙏

Let me just throw my favorite Jean Reno into the mix...

here’s a solid one so xavi doesn't stay bummed out😘 😍

Cecilia Roth is basically a given whenever we talk about this stuff🙂

P. S. xavi, do me a favor and update the title to "best Hollywood actors and actresses"... thanks🙂

J. P. Belmondo

J. P. Belmondo
Jean Reno
Hugh Grant
Alan Rickman

Man, I can't for the life of me remember the name of the girl.

Can't recall the actress right now...

Penelope Cruz

P. S. xavi, thanks🙂

Alright, look—since the Brits are basically out of the running and there are way too many heavy hitters to pick from, here’s who else I’m thinking about:

Hape Kerkeling (D)
Ulrich Mühe (D)
Fernandel (F)
Erland Josephson (S)
Klaus Maria Brandauer (A)

Liv Ullmann (S)
Emmanuelle Seigner (F)
Anne Parillaud (F)
Juliette Binoche (F)
Stéphane Audran (F)

Anne Parillaud

I’d also throw in Jean Reno, Marcello Mastroianni, Penelope, Sophia Loren, and J. P. Belmondo...😍

I just can't get into Penelope. Even though she's a powerhouse—and I usually gravitate toward those heavy-hitting actors—for some reason, she just doesn't work for me. Why is it so hard to think of anyone else?

Wait, I think I’ve got someone. I forgot to mention Taj Wilkinson, Helen Mirren, and Julia Delphy.

Colin Farrell 🤣 🤣

Colin Firth!! 😍 😍

Alright, first things first...
Cecilia Roth is absolutely killer,🙏 and as for the actor—Javier Bardem.👍
Man, I just love American cinema...😍

Let me think if there's anything else...🙄

...good grief, look at this thread 😍

Klaus Kinski is the king of actors, and Helen Mirren is the queen of actresses.

Silvia Saint, Bolivia Samsonite, Briana Banks

God, am I an idiot😵

Javier Bardem, 🙏 Cecilia Roth too. Already mentioned her🙂

P. S. xavi, this a decent thread?😍

Pretty solid one. Eduardo Noriega🙂

I thought he was brilliant in his earlier work, though lately I’ve been seeing him pop up quite frequently in big productions like > or >.👍
