I've been thinking of this for awhile. Do you have any actors/actresses that you just love to watch in almost anything? Not because of their looks, not that they can't be sexy but that's not what I'm talking about. I mean people who are just really fun to watch. Some of them may be awful actors but they make you happy almost any time you see them come on stage.

My list of the top of my head

John Aston (I was watching the Adams Family earlier today and I just love his crazed expression)
Christopher Walken
William Shatner
Brian Blessed
Tom Baker - Maybe a bit less than the others, but I think their should be some kind of show down over acting movie with him and Shatner in it.
Bruce Dern - okay I can't actually sit through all his movies, but I like to stop and watch him atleast for a short bit when I see him and I usually find myself thinking that he's fun to watch, and then I get bored by the story in the movie and move on.

I know there are more and I will post them as I think of them.

Christopher Walken was my first thought. He amuses the hell out of me.

I agree quite heartily with Adam West and think he should be in the movie with Shatner and Baker or maybe a reality show where they have to over act at each other and they represent their countries in batttle. :D

I love Johnny Depp and I get some of that in some of his performances but he is diverse enough that for me it's not quite the same thing as in different movies get different reactions from me to the extent that I don't associate him with any one type of acting.

I'm supposed to add Anthony Stewart Head to the list because both me and Ian get that when we see him a bit. The gay secretary skit in Little Britain is probably only funny because he's in it.

Ian agrees loudly about Bruce Campbell. I get that a bit but not as much as some.

Y'know we were trying to think of female actors we get that from and it quite hard. The only one Ian came up with was Candice Bergen, I like her and might feel that way a bit about her, but I doubt I'd stop flipping just because she was on screen.

Maybe Dianna Rigg a little but but even her, not quite the same thing.

There was a time when DeNiro was kinetic, you'd want to watch him in almost anything. But for the last decade, he seems to be phoning it in. Hell, he even sang a duet with Kermit the Frog on Saturday Night Live...and it wasn't a joke!

De Niro even bored me to death in that credit-card commercial, Dr. Evil. You know, the one where he's walking the streets of New York. He looks so depressed, I'm thinking he's looking for the Brooklyn Bridge.

That cemented what I'd been thinking. De Niro doing a commercial?? Is he talkin' to me??

Sad, sad, sad.
