I was just wondering who the best actor from this island is. Instead of my own opinion, who does everyone else think?
Colin Farrell
Liam Neeson
Brenda Fricker
Cillian Murphy
Richard Harris (R.I.P)
Gabriel Byrne
Maureen O'Sullivan (R.I.P)
Peter O'Toole
Michael Gambon
Pierce Brosnan
Maureen O'Hara
Stuart Townsend
Brendan Gleeson
Kenneth Branagh
Ciaran Hinds
Colm Meaney
Johnathan Rhys Meyers
Stephen Rea
I'm going for Neeson myself

Well I was a Trekkie for many many years and DS9 was my fave of the series, plus I'm now a *huge* Stargate and Atlantis fan so I'm going to have to go for Colm Meaney. Although I still think that Brendan Gleeson and Cillian Murphy are brilliant actors.
O'Neill: What's your situation?
Daniel: I'm hiding. What's yours?
(Stargate SG-1)
Colm Meaney, Liam Neeson brendan Gleeson.
Colin Farrel is not a good actor. But ee luvs ter roide burds and start foites weh? At least he says he does.
Stira
Ah I love Colm Meaney, he's always deadly in everything he does. And he can play good guys, bad and everything in between like. Big fan of Gleeson as well though and I do enjoy Cillian's performances so I'd have to say him too.
shareI like Cillian Murphy and Gabriel Byrne for acting purposes, but two real good-looking irish actors are Stuart Townsend and Jonathon Rhys-Meyers.
No one shall out douche the king of the douche bags! Conan O'Brien
Add Ciaran Hinds to your list. He is awsome as well. I read somewhere that he is good friends with Liam Neeson.
sharesorry, I cant choose just one! too hard........thou okay, out of that list Stephen Rea and Brenda Ficker are fantastic......
I am not a big fan of Farrell, but in any Irish movie he rocks.
as does Cillian, just look at his performance in Breakfast on Pluto.....
I want to all men!
I would say Cillian Murphy and Liam Neeson.
I love all of the roles that they take on such as
Liam Neeson:
Batman Begins-Henri Ducard
Kinsey-Alfred Kinsey
Breakfast On Pluto-Father Bernard
Cillian Murphy:
Red Eye-Jack Rippner
Breakfast On Pluto-Patrick "Kitten" Braden
Batman Begins-Doctor Jonathan Crane/Scarecrow
They both take on such diverse roles that I have to give them both major props :)
you cant choose the best... why? cause ireland makes too many fookin' greats. im sorry, but there's just too much talent, too much life in the actors to forget about them. a lot of these american actors, they're either dead fookin' personalities or over-dose on fake extremism...
but ireland mate, and europe in total... its just full of life mate. you cant find anyone fake cause they're too busy being real. thats what i think at least. and the attitude they have comes into the acting totally. they're always on level, never over or under acting.
those that never have any stories of failure, never tried anything
Cillian Murphy - can do great accents, after that Liam Neeson.
"Curse The Wind That Shakes The Barley curse a spade and curse the plow."

Why is Colin Farrell on that list of "greats?"
No votes for Branagh? Hard to believe. Ok I vote him and Liam
Carpe Diem!
What? No Daniel Day Lewis? He is a citizen of Ireland after all.

Sid *Yer so utterly pathetic, Sid, absolutely pathetic. You should be in the fking Rolling Stones!*
cillian, colm or brendon....oh man, gabriel is fascinating as well..and stephen rhea too...that is a hard one!
shareThere's so many great irish actors and actresses my list is YARDS long.
It's just that Cillian Murphy is the only one I can't take my eyes off or listen for his voice or be totally captivated by in any film he does. He's my best.
james nesbitt and liam neeson and brendan gleeson are three legends. pierce brosnan is a fool and neseson is the only one to hve done us proud in Hollywood. Stephen Rea is a fine actor also
