She, Lauren Bacall, Katharine Hepburn, Jane Russell, Joan Crawford, all those tough classic Hollywood broads - I think of them as the female versions of Mitchum et al. Could be awful people but just hilarious.

Hepburn was very different to those others with perhaps the exception of bacall , in no way a beauty and a ball busting feminist to boot

Greg Davies. I love that man.

He's a lot older than me, sort of oddly tall and he once described his body as looking like it was carved from a budget block of ham but.. damn I still would!

Niamh from fair city, although I'm likely confusing love with lust. A divil in the sack I'd say, but I wouldn't have the head for looking at her cranky mug post coitus.

My other half used to work in brown thomas in Dublin, Niamh used to frequent regularly and was forever playing the " don't you know who I am" card in order to get discount deals

Piers Morgan - I think he's great entertainment on GMB and love how he riles up all the social justice warriors on Twitter

Tyson Fury - especially when he starts singing Aerosmith, he is a living legend. The Batman suits.... we need more people like him.

Quirky, very talented, deep thinking and I imagine to be incredibly good natured, loving and kind.

Think it is more interesting than just saying "I love Gay Byrne but I have no idea what it is about him that makes me feel that way".

Gladly, most people obviously feel that it is the context which is interesting in the discussion rather than applying the OP question literally which would result in just a list of names.

decky1 · 05-07-2019 6:35pm

Ray Winstone, had the pleasure of working on the set of 'Moonfleet' had breakfast a few times with him, great actor and very friendly no 'I'm an actor ' bulsh1t about him.

Why would it just be a list of names? You can expand on why you shouldn't or maybe even speculate as to why you do.

Someone gave Roy Keane as an example. He's a bollócks and I shouldn't like him because.... but I do.

Larry David...i laugh at him but he's actually rather obnoxious. Yet for some reason I like him. Not sure if it's cos I see some of myself in him (I hope not).

I dunno...id just find that more interesting than X because he's sound or Y because he/she is gorgeous.

My OH hung out with him when they were little kids back in the 70s. Said he was a lovely kid. McCullagh looks well for his mid 50s.

Sigourey Weaver. Fell in love with her after I saw Aliens as a kid.

Also actresses Uma Thurman, Keely Hawes, Julianne Moore, Aisling O’Sullivan and Cate Blanchett. I have a real crush on actresses who come across as beautiful, intelligent and tough.

She strikes me as an absolute @rsehole. And I'm just going from what little I heard when she used to cover on Phantom/TXFM.

I think of him of a nice old grandfather figure eating a bag of jellybeans, dropping some and as he picks up the jellybeans that fell bumping his arse of the big red button that launches America's nuclear missile arsenals.

Nigella Lawson. She’s über-privileged and a bit aloof but I find her fascinating. She has a lovely way with words. And when she picked an Eminem track as one of her desert island discs, I liked her even more despite not even being an Eminem fan myself.

Timothy Olyphant. Okay, he’s actually good-looking but that’s not what I like. He is HILARIOUS. Check out his interviews on Conan.

Bill Burr - I actually thought he looked great in Breaking Bad plus he brings the funny.

Poor Terry cant seem to keep up with Lee Marvin's wit and sarcasm here .

People give out about RTE heads (and often rightly so), but even though I never met the man, I can't ever imagine a bad word being said about Bill.

Sad that he died just a year after retiring and didn't get to enjoy even one major tournament from the comfort of home with his grandkids.

RIP Bill

Yes, loved Bill he was Brilliant at his job... one of those people doing a job where you looked at them thinking ‘nobody can actually do that better’ ..

look over at the BBC and as consummate a professional as Lineker is, as amiable as he might be there will always be a stench of rehearsal and choreography whereas on RTÉ with Bill at the helm he’d lob in the old grenade if someone was talking BS or even otherwise, not afraid to intimate that with a bit of a rye smile and not playing favorites either, he could summon the ire of nice old Johnny Giles who’d give him the eyes that plainly read “cheeky ****” ... you know he’s doing a grand job when Eamonn is acting peacemaker.

Was busily working at Tesco checkout during college. Bill was buying brown bread and was so lovely...I’m smiling thinking about how charming he was.

Yeah Tom Hanks is great.
Weirdly enough, I was just watching an episode of Family Ties where a very young Tom Hanks plays washed up alcoholic uncle Ned to Alex P Keaton. He mixes drama and comedy very well. Always a sign of a good actor IMHO.
