I'm not able to make a top 10.
One of the reason why it's hard for me to tell you who are my favorite actors and actresses is because there is too much factors... And I don't know if I have to be objective or subjective. If I'm subjective, I guess I'm going to tell you that Kiera Knightley and Johnny Depp are cute. If I try to be objective, I'm going to say I like Meryl Streep, Robert De Niro and Johnny Depp because of their performances or movie choices.
I don't know a lot about acting. If during interviews, actors and actresses would talk about the "theorical" aspect of acting instead of saying who they fuck, I would know more about acting. Usually, I don't care about the actors in a movie. I focus on the movie itself. I know, the actors are part of a movie, but for me they aren't the most important part. I'll never say I like a movie because its characters. I don't know if I make sens.
I have some questions for you. It could help me. Seriously.

When you have favorite actors/actresses, is it for their work you like them or because of their personality?
For example, I like Johnny Depp for his works but I also like Bela Lugosi and Max Shreck because they are mythic and I like what they represent...
-
Do you like them because you loved a character they played or because they are versatile and you love how they play?
For example, I know a girl who loved Angelina Jolie and she was confusing the characters she played with the person she is in reality. I think I like Tom Cruise for his role of Lestat. When I was 8 years old, I thought he was attractive

Do you like an actor because of his movies choices or because of his performances? Is the capacity of finding good roles can make an actor "good"?
For example, I think Jodie Foster is a good actress but her last movies weren't very good...
If you answer to make existential questions, maybe I'll be able to make my top 10. Thanks!
