My Top 3 Favorite Actors Ever

I have a huge ass DVD collection. I've probably spent thousands of dollars on it, because I believe that movie producers and actors should get proper compensation for their labor. SAY NO TO PIRATING!

The title of this post is pretty self-explanatory, so I'm just going to dive in:


3.) Jim Carrey

Jim Carrey is an amazing actor. I can't even think of an adjective appropriate enough to describe what a great actor he is. He does comedy and drama perfectly. I also had read a story that before he got famous, him and his family lived in their car, because they were really poor. Jim was determined to become famous and wrote his dad a check for $1 million dollars and told him he would one day be able to cash it. That's so touching.

Here are his best and most popular works:
  1. In Living Color (1990-2001)
  2. Ace Ventura: Pet Detective (1994)
  3. The Mask (1994)
  4. Dumb & Dumber (1994)
  5. Batman Forever (1995)
  6. Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls (1995)
  7. The Cable Guy (1996)
  8. Liar Liar (1997)
  9. The Truman Show (1998)
  10. Simon Birch (1998)
  11. Man on the Moon (1999)
  12. Me, Myself & Irene (2000)
  13. How The Grinch Stole Christmas (2000)
  14. The Majestic (2001)
  15. Bruce Almighty (2003)
  16. Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004)
  17. Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events (2004)
  18. Fun With Dick & Jane (2005)
  19. The Number 23 (2007)
  20. Horton Hears A Who! (2008)
  21. Yes Man (2008)
  22. I Love You Phillip Morris (2009)
  23. A Christmas Carol (2009)
  24. Mr. Popper's Penguins (2011)
That's a whole fuckload of popular movies. It's practically a list of his entire career. Dumb & Dumber was totally LOL good. I've watched it thousands of times, and each time I discover another really dumb thing they do. I read a story that when he was preparing for The Number 23, he listened to that beep sound that comes on TV when the channel freezes and that rainbow colored thing comes on the screen, and I think he may have even stopped eating just to drive himself crazy. It definitely worked, because I actually really liked The Number 23, despite the terrible reviews it got. Maybe it's because I just love Jim Carrey, and I think he can never do anything wrong. I don't think I need to touch upon Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, because it's in the top 100 best movies on IMDb.com. And in I Love You Phillip Morris he played an unbelievably flamboyant con-man and kisses Ewan McGregor. For an actor to play a homosexual in a comedy movie and know he's not going to get an Oscar for it really shows how dedicated to his craft he is. Also, it has been announced that there will be a sequel to Dumb & Dumber called Dumb & Dumber To that will come out in 2014. I'm very excited for it, but I'm sad I have to wait two years. Dumb and Dumberer: When Harry Met Lloyd didn't exactly fill my hunger for a Dumb & Dumber sequel.


2.) Seth Rogen

He's not THE BEST actor I guess, but I've loved him in every movie I've seen him in, and you have to admit, he's successful in all his roles, despite them all being the same character. Actually, I don't think he's really acting; he's playing himself but is just told what to say. But he's still good! And he's not just an actor. He writes and produces, too.

Here are his best and most popular works:
  1. Freaks and Geeks (1999-2000)
  2. Donnie Darko (2001)
  3. Undeclared (2001-2003)
  4. Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy (2004)
  5. The 40 Year Old Virgin (2005)
  6. You, Me & Dupree (2006)
  7. Knocked Up (2007)
  8. Shrek The Third (2007)
  9. Superbad (2007)
  10. The Spiderwick Chronicles (2008)
  11. Horton Hears A Who! (2008)
  12. Kung Fu Panda (2008)
  13. Stepbrothers (2008)
  14. Pineapple Express (2008)
  15. Zack and Miri Make a Porno (2008)
  16. Observe and Report (2009)
  17. Monsters vs. Aliens (2009)
  18. Funny People (2009)
  19. The Green Hornet (2011)
  20. Paul (2011)
  21. Kung Fu Panda 2 (2011)
  22. 50/50 (2011)
I'm sure there are a couple movies you didn't know he was in. Not all of these movies were that funny, but they did become popular just because Seth Rogen was in them. My absolute favorites are The 40 Year Old Virgin, Knocked Up, Superbad, Pineapple Express, and 50/50. I love the movie Stepbrothers, but his part was like 3 minutes long, so I don't know if I can count that as one of his best works. Also, if you've read earlier posts of mine, you would know that I am DYING to see For A Good Time, Call..., which Seth Rogen is also in. And I LOVED 50/50. I cried like a baby, mucus and saliva dripping out of every hole in my face and everything.


1.) Jason Bateman

Okay, seriously, I LOVE Jason Bateman. I am IN LOVE with him. I want to wash his feet for him in a basin, and if he wanted me to, I would drink the water afterwards. That's how much I love him. One time, I had a dream that I married him, but it was very old school Muslim in that we had only met each other once, and his mother really wanted me to marry him. He was married and divorced with two kids, and basically he needed a wife immediately to take care of him and his children, so his mother picked me, and even though he was resistant, he married me anyway. The first time I met him was a group outing, and we barely spoke to each other. We didn't consummate the marriage the night of our wedding, but after a couple days, I guess he got used to me, and said something like, "The first night we met and you left to go home, I didn't want you to go. I missed you." That's fucking sweet, but I guess I shouldn't give him the credit, because it was really MY subconscious that thought of that.

Here are his best and most popular works:
  1. Little House on the Prairie (1981-1982)
  2. Silver Spoons (1982-1984)
  3. Valerie (1986-1991)
  4. The Sweetest Thing (2002)
  5. Starsky & Hutch (2004)
  6. Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story (2004)
  7. Arrested Development (2003-2006)
  8. The Break-Up (2006)
  9. Smokin' Aces (2006)
  10. The Ex (2006)
  11. Juno (2007)
  12. Mr. Magorium's Wonder Emporium (2007)
  13. Forgetting Sarah Marshall (2008)
  14. Hancock (2008)
  15. Up In The Air (2009)
  16. The Invention of Lying (2009)
  17. Couples Retreat (2009)
  18. The Switch (2010)
  19. Paul (2011)
  20. Horrible Bosses (2011)
  21. The Change-Up (2011)
I remember watching Valerie when I was a kid and even then, I was in love with Jason Bateman. Clearly, my taste in men hasn't changed. I like them much older. Also, my all-time favorite show was Arrested Development, which was way too short-lived. The Real World is on its 27th season, and Arrested Development was only on for like 2 1/2 seasons, which is so unfair and shows that there is no justice in the world. Also, my all-time favorite movie is Horrible Bosses. One time I watched it twice a day for a week straight. I love his quote, "I don't have sleeve gloves." Genius.


Well, there you go. My top 3 favorite actors. I'm sure a lot of people would disagree with my choices, but it's MY list, and I can put whoever I want on it!
