Favourite Actors

I know what you're thinking, obvious choices.
But did it ever occur to you, that the reason they're obvious choices is because they are recognised for being great actors.





Establishment

I was always one of those kids that thought they didn't have any hobbies, throughout their life attempting different sports and testing different interests.
I used to go swimming and attended horse riding lesson, but they were never hobbies of mine, just an activity I enjoyed. Apparently as a child, I would watch a film, like a Disney classic, and request to watch another almost immediatly after.
About two years ago, I was over at my uncles house who has the biggest collection of DVDs known to man, it was like a HMV store. I spent the time mentally going through his DVDs and labelling the ones I wanted to watch and the ones I had already seen. Once I had finished I realised pretty much every DVD was labelled. This was the critical moment of which I realised, I love films.

Another thing I've been known to do is watch the special features on the DVDs, one to see what the actors are like off screen, and also to see the atmosphere and admire the production. From the outtakes to the commentry, I'd watch all the features.
If there wasn't any on the DVD I would search online for something, I like to see how each production, cast and crew is different.
I have worried I had become obsessed but I believe I have it controlled.
