favorite actor of all time?

Unpopular opinion but Liam Neeson

Each actor is good in his own way, but I like Nicolas Cage the most

Willem Dafoe. He brings an incredible energy and nuance to each of his films, and his level of range is spectacular. How he can go from a goofy menace in Spider-Man, to wholesome landlord in The Florida Project, to a darkly 3 dimensional lighthouse keeper in The Lighthouse is all the evidence you need.
