You can only watch movies featuring three actors for the rest of your life...

You have a life sentence. The prison gaurd says you can choose three actors and you can watch any movie featuring AT LEAST ONE of those actors for the rest of your days...

 

What three actors do you choose?

[That One Guy 32,692]

I'd go with actors that have a wide range of films in their filmography, so something like...

 

Morgan Freeman, Samuel L. Jackson, and Edward Norton.

[SLAM! 5,405]

Bill Murray, Tom Hardy, Paul Dano

[grey ghost 18,600]

Keanu Reeves (The Matrix, Constatine, Devil's Advocate, John Wick, Dracula, Bill & Ted, Scanner Darkly, Little Buddha, Speed, Point Break)

 

Samuel Jackson (Pulp Fiction, Winter Soldier, The Avengers, The Incredibles, Jurassic Park, Die Hard 3, Kingsman, The Long Kiss Goodnight, Goodfellas, Legend of Tarzan, Kill Bill 2, Coming to America, Menace 2 Society)

 

Brad Pitt (Fight Club, Se7en, Legend of the Fall, Inglorious Basterds, Snatch, Thelma and Louise, 12 Monkeys, 12 Years A Slave, Interview with a Vampire, True Romance, Sleepers)

[Ethan Hunt 22,117]

Hmmmmm... Well gotta find the perfect balance of having large and quality filmographies. Tom Cruise is definitely a good option don't know about the other two

My choices would have to have large filmographies, actual acting talent, and a solid track record - plus they have to be still acting so there will be more movies throughout my prison term.

 

So the three I'd pick would be Robert De Niro, Samuel L. Jackson, and Morgan Freeman.

 

There are so many good choices though - Liam Neeson, Robert Duvall, Christopher Walken, Willem Dafoe, Anthony Hopkins, Michael Caine, Harvey Keitel, Alec Baldwin, JK Simmons, Max von Sydow, and Jim Broadbent would all be excellent as well.

I choose

This is a really difficult question, but my three would be:

 

 

[Barnack 11,306]

If it is the only think you will be able to watch, life sentence context, you probably want to consider to have one porn star in there (and they can have very large filmography).

 

And actor with large/diverse filmography have a big advantage, Sam Jackson (126 movie), Robert Duval (99 movie), etc...

[Cochofles 11,430]

Angela Bassett, Gal Gadot, and America Ferrera (and please, may I include TV work? Because that's pretty much why I included Ferrera [ Ugly Betty ])
