What is the definition of a great actor or actress?

Question

Me and my mate think its if you can watch an actor or actress in one film and not be able to associate that character with any of that person's other characters also who do you think is the greatest living actor or actress?

Answer 1

i think its some one thats just plain likeable u cant help wanting to see their next film and you like everything they do. it depends on the person if i dont like tom cruse than i just dont like him. also you have to believe that they really are the charactor.

i really like Emma Watson as actress and Dainel Radcliffe or Tom Hanks as actor

Answer 2

someone who can make you believe they are the character they are playing and be able to move you to emotions while being that character.

My vote would be Tom Hanks

Answer 3

If he/she's convincing and funny (like Seth Green or Tina Fey) and never disappoint, they are a good actor in my book.

Answer 4

thats what i say...There are a lot of great actors out there.. ima say johnny depp is one of them cause he has made so many movies and not two characters that he played are the same...

Answer 5

i think the greratest actor alive is

Johnny Depp... but thats just one man's opinion...

wat i think is a great actor or actress is basically wat u said, but in definition... it is a person who has the ability to completely change his ways and become a whole other person in a film... one who actually BECOMES the character...
