Some of the actors who are can also act, too, and quite good, but there's little demand for that.

I'm a fan of Vincent D'Onofrio because he's excellent at playing every kind of role.

The first option. Sandler was fun when I was nine. Have I gotten more demanding or has he gotten worse? Both, probably. 

My favorite actors are those that act in such a way as to seemingly live as their characters. Thornton did it in Sling Blade, McGoohan did it in The Prisoner, and Jack Nicholson did it in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest.

I love actors from both groups, but I thought I'd make a poll about it.

In case you are wondering what I'm contrasting:

Actors who Act are those who are different in almost every film they make.  Examples of this would include Daniel Day Lewis, Nichole Kidman, Johnny Depp, Tim Curry, and Heath Ledger.

Actors who Are are those who are just themselves in nearly every film.  Examples of this would include Morgan Freeman, Adam Sandler, Will Smith, Bruce Willis and Mel Gibson.
