I'm not familiar with Ian Bannen as I'm not a big watcher of movies ( I've got the attention span of a puppy dog ) but I'll keep an eye out if I remember.

The actors I named were in a movie made in 1973 called The Homecoming - a Harold Pinter play done as a movie. I was dying for a piss but could not leave my chair as it was so clever.

The most powerfull acting i have ever seen and the most moving, was from the late Montgomery Clift in the film Judgment at Nuremburg.
R.I.P Monty

Always liked Beatie Edney, in a purely lustful way.

What was the name of that sitcom she was in, where she had a best mate, who was in the ideal relationship, with a high-powered job, and a batty mum always in the frame? Sort of precursor to Bridget Jones.

Dressing For Breakfast, with Holly Aird as the flatmate. A ladettes style programme before its time.

Have to say, she was utterly stunning in Highlander.

Discussed many a time before here, Johnny Depp is flavour of the month as usual, and Ed Wood is excellent. However, the list is too divers and long to try and include someone for everyone.....but I'll have a go
USA..........Brando, Pacino, DeNiro and Mickey Rourke in their early careers before they sold out or got fat
UK......Alan Rickman, Ian McKellen (including his 'go' in Coronation Street where he blew the whole cast away with a piss poor script)
Are just a few names that can be thrown into the ring

Nice one! I've been racking my brains over that.

Here are a few actors who I think should be on the short list:
Harvey keitel, Dennis Hopper, Gary Oldman, Anthony Hopkins and James Stewart as well as DeNiro and pacino

[steve56]

must include some veterans too like robert alda,richard widmark[kiss of death;roadhouse etc],george raft,william holden,steve mc queen.
