Favourite Actors & Actresses and their works :)
I don't care about looks or age. I enjoy watching actors who can ACT, and choose diverse roles because they actually love the craft. I will watch all dramas/movies with these fantastic actors.
This is a list (in no order) that is still in progress as I am still catching up on their works.
Please do recommend more works that I may have missed out or not seen :)
