    I won'f make this an official list in my case, certainly not ranked, and not all the most accurate based on merit, but I really enjoy the performance I've seen from...

    Morgan Freeman, Sean Connery, Anthony Hopkins, Gerard Depardieu, Jean Renault, Jean Dujardin, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino, Robert DeNiro, Sean Bean, Donald and Kiefer Sutherland, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Clive Owen, Zach Gilford, and yes, Ben Affleck ;)

    Marg Helgenburger, Natalie Portman, Marion Cotillard, Gillian Anderson, Jennifer Connelly, Audrey Tautou, Ashley Judd, Diane Lane, Uma Thurman

    That's what comes to mind in a few minutes anyways.
