Two words brought together by a hyphen: "Make-up." .. not to be a stick in the mud, although the much-needed, wet weather here in California would definately make this possible for many a stick.

However, I did enjoy the parts of Down with Love that I caught on tv.

Ewen McGregor
Billy Connolly

I'll cast my vote for;

Favourite male: Alexander Morton
Favourite female: Dawn Steele

I'm also a big fan of Robert Carlyle, he is brilliant.

Hey from Canada,

I found this topic and opinions really interesting, wow, I wasn't aware that there were soooo many Scots actors... well, from one Canadian...

here's who are my faves....

1) NO QUESTION ABOUT IT! BILLY CONNOLLY the man is comedic genius... I would kill to spend an hour with him, and I think it's about all I could handle cuz laughing so hard would truly be painful. I love him in movies too... although I haven't seen the one I see mentioned here alot, Mrs. Brown? is it? I'm making a point to get my hands on a copy now... some of his others are: Still Crazy, the classic Boondock Saints, recently (like last year) Time Line, and I had my local video store hunt down and order me all 4 (at the time, haven't checked recently) of his standup vids. my whole family books Billy nites. hahaha.

2) is there anyone doesn't love Sean Connery?? he is the man.

3) Ewan McGregor is always awesome to watch

4) Robbie Coltrane is great too...

I'm afraid I'm going to have to make a point to note the other names I've seen here.
any suggestions as to where (movies) to start with?
