I also love Tony Leung from Infernal Affairs and In the Mood for Love.

But how about some Rachel McAdams? + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://topnews.in/light/files/rachel-mcadams2123.jpg) Pearce is a pretty good choice. Very aussie as well  On April 02 2012 09:27 Jitsu wrote: I can't tell if serious or trollin'...but I still think it's funny how you pick this cat, and then neglect the only three movies he was actually good in.

Russel Crowe would be perfect cept he was born in New Zealand, thou he does own a Sydney rugby team and I used to see him at my local shops now and then. Well his wife is older than him, I can tell he's a good bloke, unlike most actors. | ||

All could represent awesomely. movies that influence with Harrison Ford and you dont mention Bladerunner!? also just noticed some said this: On April 02 2012 02:21 Uraeus wrote: The class and elegance of Christophe Lambert ![[image loading]](http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/7e/Christopher_Lambert_-_66%C3%A8me_Festival_de_Venise_%28Mostra%29.jpg/200px-Christopher_Lambert_-_66%C3%A8me_Festival_de_Venise_%28Mostra%29.jpg) The French JC VanDamme. Embarrassingly low culture too. Starred in Fortress, Highlander, Greystoke True he has done some pretty bad movies, ie mortal kombat, but to say hes low on culture when hes been in films such as White Material is pretty insulting to an actually very well rounded actor. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.iplsc.com/-/0001HEO6IX8BXT8N-C116.jpg) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jerzy_Stuhr You probably never heard of him but based on his career, influence on Polish cinema and culture, and general awesomeness he's the right pick. They don't make actors like that any more... He's playing in the movies, theatre, directing, voice acting and teaching in the academy of arts as a professor (he's even a rector at Ludwik Solski Academy for the Dramatic Arts in Kraków). His son is also an amazing actor. I just wish he can win with cancer he's battling now  P. S. Austria has it way too easy with Ahnold... | ||

For Australia, has to be Russell Crowe or Heath Ledger. Yeah Crowe was born in NZ but everyone identifies him as Australian and he has an Aussie accent, not a Kiwi accent, so yeah  + Show Spoiler + Gladiator, A Beautiful Mind, American Gangster. Candy, Two Hands, The Dark Knight Special mentions though to Nicole Kidman and Paul Hogan. + Show Spoiler + Moulin Rouge, Cold Mountain. Croc Dundee of course!! For Malaysia: Michelle Yeoh? + Show Spoiler + Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Sunshine, Tomorrow Never Dies | ||

I don't know what is japanes feelings, but for me, japan actor who represents Japan is Takeshi Kitano. He may be weird in Japan, but in the world he's an artist. | ||

Oh and he's known for better roles too not just Dick Maas crap. Because let's face it, 90% of the Netherlands is inhabited by types like him. oh my god... :D the flodders are the second best thing you've provided the world with after grubby | ||

Well, we're not discussing who the best actor or actress is here. Those you mentioned are probably greater actors than mine, but I think Crowe, Ledger and Kidman are more iconic. Just my opinion though | ||

And as someone mentioned, Guy Pearce actually does embody a lot of aussies qualities. For me, Crow will always be a Nz'er. Feels wrong trying to claim him. He spent 15-21 in NZ and was born there. Although he's a little ours too I guess. Kidman and Crow are also too mainstream for me. Good to see some female actors mentioned though! | ||

( Jean dujardin, The Artist main actor in case people don't recognize him ) BUT my choice would be ![[image loading]](http://wintermute.bradley.edu/images/jean_reno.jpg) NEEEEVEEEER : ![[image loading]](http://imgs.littlewhitelies.co.uk/uploads/2010/06/tahar-rahim.jpg) Tahar Rahim for A Prophet, I dont give a fuck about the fact that he is french, he deserved a billion oscars for his perfomance, and the movie is probably my favorite (which is a miracle since I actually hate our cinema of the past 20 years except for maybe 5 movies) And if not Rahim: ![[image loading]](http://top-people.starmedia.com/tmp/swotti/cacheDMLUY2VUDCBJYXNZZWW=UGVVCGXLLVBLB3BSZQ==/imgvincent%20cassel4.jpg) Cassel, for La Haine and few other great perfomances P.S: Dujardin is nice, seems like a nice guy, but I frankly dont find him to be the amazing french actor everyone is talking about, he is really good, even when out of his confort zone (comedy) but he didnt get a really great role yet. And Reno is simply a bad actor, he just got a face, and you'll notice his best perfomances are always ones where he dont talk much and dont have to act (= Leon The Professional) | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.webwombat.com.au/entertainment/movies/images/charlie-and-boots-shane-jacobson-interview-1.jpg) For Australia, I reckon Shane Jacobson is a fine representative. Laid back and funny as hell. Notable in 'Kenny' and 'Charlie and Boots' | ||

If not I would vote Ryu Chishu for Japan: ![[image loading]](http://i2.listal.com/image/40181/936full-chishu-ryu.jpg) I doubt anyone with good knowledge of Japanese cinema can disagree with him as my choice. Starred in most of Ozu Yasujiro's films (the most Japanese of directors) and many others, as well as having a supporting role for 30 years in Otoko wa tsurai yo (the most Japanese of movie series). Worked as an actor from the 30s to the 90s. If the person needs to be alive... maybe Asano Tadanobu for modern Japan: ![[image loading]](http://wiki.d-addicts.com/static/images/thumb/1/1b/Asano.jpg/180px-Asano.jpg) Note: I am a mutt of an Asian, having blood and hacing lived in a bunch of countries, but I just identify with Japanese cinema the best so I chose to pick it as my country for this thread. | ||
