    I think Michael Fassbender is an excellent actor, though he probably hasn't done enough to qualify as our greatest.

    I suppose Liam Neeson would be up there.

    He's not a great actor because you can tell when he's lying. The key is to look carefully at his lips when he talks. When they move he's lying.

    Colin Farrell is a ridiculously good actor.
    Very underrated.

    Same goes for Brendan Gleeson.

    Dónal McCann - one of the finest! Dónal, ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam, was Captain Boyle in Juno and The Paycock, the first professional theatre play I ever saw.

    Other, mostly theatre actors/actresses, I liked/like:

    John Kavanagh, Siobhán McKenna, Gerard McSorley, Níall Tóibín, Éamonn Kelly, Micheál Mac Liammóir, Maureen O'Hara (especially in The Quiet Man), Stephen Rea, Brenda Fricker, Richard Harris, Peter O'Toole, Ray McAnally, and any of the Cusack sisters - and indeed their auld fella, the legend that was Cyril Cusack.

    And I'll say it ... I actually loved Barry Fitzgerald's character in The Quiet Man! Great fun.

    This is great scene from The Quiet Man with Maureen O'Hara talking to the priest in the Irish about John Wayne sleeping in a 'mála codlata', and the priest goes ballistic. hehe.
