I’ve got to go with Martin Sheen as President Bartlet in The West Wing. Everyone on that show was remarkable, but Sheen so fantastically portrayed power and deference.
My all time fav performance on ANY screen is Lucille Ball and Vivian Vance in the candy factory scene on that classic episode of I Love Lucy. It was hilarious, and such a great example of comedic timing and two actors working together in sync. I’ve seen it a million times and I still laugh like it’s the first!
My husband has always dreamed of acting!
Terry O’Quinn as John Locke on “Lost.” Such a powerful performance and he changed and evolved in the character as the seasons progressed.
Daniel Day Lewis in “There Will Be Blood.” An amazing performance.
Kevin Spacey in “American Beauty.” He takes the regular everyman going through a mid-life crisis to a level that elevates him as an actor yet is still relatable to everyone watching.
Bryan Cranston as Walter White in all seasons of “Breaking Bad.” He gave such a masterful performance and completely transformed during the series!
