    Default Actors that make you watch things.

    Help. Jeremy Irons has a gun to my head and is forcing me to watch Glee.

    I haven't seen Breaking Bad. I intended to at some point, but had no motivation to. Then I found out that Hank from Malcolm in the Middle was in it, and am now urgently bombing through the first season. Bloody love it.

    What actors immediately attract you shows or films that you might otherwise not have watched?

    Since Inception I'll watch anything with Leonardo DiCaprio. Not just because of his acting but he chooses good roles. Didn't expect much from Gangs of New York but I loved it
    Kefka's coming, look intimidating!

    Heath Ledger films like Candy, 10 things I hate about you, Casanova aren't my sort of films but I first saw him in A Knights Tale and Ned Kelly and thought he was a great actor.

    Anything with Sean Bean though I tend to like his acting genre (Sharpe ) and Scarlett Johansson.

    Orlando Bloom because he comes from a near by town, got to support them locals.

    Christopher Walken. This guy is un-smurfing believable.

    Bruce Willis. Matt Damon. I think that's it.

    Elizabeth Banks
    Marion Cotillard
    Willem Dafoe
    Anne Hathaway
    Joseph Gordon-Leavitt
    Anna Kendrick
    Jena Malone
    Bill Murray
    Gary Oldman
    Natalie Portman
    Jason Schwartzman
    Christoph Waltz

    Probably more I'm not thinking of. It's a give or take with Robert Downey, Jr., Brad Pitt, Zooey Deschanel, Adrien Brody, Rachel McAdams, Meryl Streep, and a few others. I like them in some things, and then they've been in some things I hate or don't care about.

    Also, while I don't love the man himself, George Clooney is rarely in a film or a role that I dislike.

    Samuel L. Jackson (I've watched some pretty bad movies just because he's in it)

    Gary Oldman (I don't like a lot of his films or think he's too campy but goddamn cannot I stop watching him. Magnetic as smurf)

    Off the top of my head, Leonardo DiCaprio. Ever since Romeo + Juliet.

    Starting on my left with one, your number comes up, you go.

    I'm surprised nobody has said Philip Seymour Hoffman yet. If I heard he had a role in a movie, no matter how minor, I'd probably watch it.

    Idris Elba has made me watch some very, very, mediocre films.
