Your first favorite actor

[Lake]

When you were much younger who did you just love to see in the movies? I can remember being this kid that loved Geena Davis. I guess I had a crush or maybe it was because she was everywhere when I was growing up.When you look back,who was your childhood favorite?

I would say Johnny Depp... I'm not sure why, but I remember thinking he was an interesting person and a pretty good actor...

I still think he's a great actor and I love seeing any movie he's in...

 

[Blackguard_]

Michael J. Fox.

I wore a tie and carried a briefcase to pre-school because I watched Family Ties too much.

And I liked Doc Hollywood and the Back to the Future movies.

Clint Eastwood,dashing and handsome! He was something.

 

[Zoomer]

I used to love Tom Cruise when I was younger.

Now, I think he is a nut job and would rather be tortured than watch a movie with him in it.

from what i remember i think it must have been michael j fox and bill murray when he was in ghostbuster , and charlie schlatter when i was in my teens

My first favorite besides the Disney characters like Bambi, Snow White, and Pinochio was Elizabeth Taylor (when she was a child star).

I loved her in Lassie, Come Home, (but not as much as I loved Lassie), Jane Eyre, and especially in her first big starring role opposite Mickey Rooney in National Velvet. (a horse story). I saw it again a few years ago and was so surprised to see that Angela Langsbury played her teenage sister. Angela is one of my very favorites now...

I'd say probably Harrison Ford; how could an imaginative 9-year-old boy not love the guy who played both Han Solo and Indiana Jones?

 

[Miss Spaulding]

I guess I would still be considered a "child" to some of ya'll.

I've been pondering over this for a little while now and I've come up with a few names. These few guys were probably my favorite actors from my earliest memories until I was about 10 years old. Jerry Lewis, Steve McQueen, Mickey Rooney, and Gary Cooper. After thinking a while I'd have to say that Jerry Lewis was probably my favorite actor when I was kid. The other three came very close though.

I still absolutely love Gary Cooper and Steve McQueen, but I can't stand Mickey Rooney.

 

[SUNSTONE]

Probably the governor Arnold.
I think he pretty much owned the 80's action movie scene.

 

[HawaiianTropicalDude]

I liked Christina Ricci and still do.

 

[awesome liver]

george clooney. i've been a huge fan of movies since i was old enough to speak english (that's how i learned, actually), but it's been a pretty healthy obsession since the early 90's. after a few of his softer movies, i've been a heavy fan of his since Out of Sight.

 

[JewelInHisCrown]

Mel Gibson was popular when I was growing up as was Tom Cruise. I didn't have crushes on neither. I was more into music & soap operas. LOL

 

[Jennie726]

My first fave actor was Jonathan Taylor Thomas! I was so crazy about him growing up lol.

 

[country woman]

Robert Redford

 

[fieldlily]

Farley Granger...was so handsome...but my very favorite was Jimmy Stewart especially in the Hitchcock thrillers he made: Vertigo, Rope, Rear Window,and The Man Who Knew Too Much.

 

[meh]

Timothy Hutton.

 

[Ritz]

The guy from Alias Smith and Jones that killed himself.Pete Duel,I loved him. Michael Landon too.

My first favorite actor was a character actor. I didn't like him for his looks, I liked him for the humor he brought to the show (in fact he was the 'bad-guy' in the series) I've always liked character actors for their sense of humor.

I guess the two classically handsome men I've liked watching are Tom Selleck and Pierce Brosnan.
