Favorite Actors

Being fairly introverted and therefore rarely finding myself in social situations with strangers, I don't routinely find myself answering random questions, so the questions asked in potentially awkward social situations always fascinate me. Nevertheless, because I am routinely asked the same questions when in such situations, perhaps that means the answers are of interest to others (what can I say, I study non-human primates but human behavior still largely alludes me).

Recently I was asked who is/are my favorite actor(s), male and female, alive/dead, along with several related questions. There are a handful of actors who I would see in any movie or TV series they appear in, regardless of genre of the film or character they portray.

Favorite male actors: Robert Redford, Tom Hanks, Sidney Poitier  

Favorite female actors: Jodie Foster, Meryl Streep, Katharine Hepburn, Libby Tanner

And to answer the two most frequently asked questions, I would most like to:

meet - Sydney Poitier                                                   

be stranded on an island with - Libby Tanner

 

Favorite movies: Three Days of the Condor, Sneakers, Rear Window, Avatar, Into the Wild, All the President's Men, Out of Africa, To Sir, with Love, The Devil Wears Prada, Star Wars (Return of the Jedi)

Favorite TV series: Wentworth Prison, Broadchurch, Last Tango in Halifax, MASH, MacGyver, Star Trek (the original series)
