Question:Which actor is on point with naturality in a role you have seen him or her play?
For me the most natural actress is Laura Linney. It was a big surprise but she has grown on me to the extent that I look up to her. The confirmation was on "The Savages", specially on the hospital scene after she and Hoffman leave their dad. When she goes down the steps the exact reaction that I felt I would do in that scene, she did.
I just wanted to know what thespian did that for you?

I would say Evan Rachel Woods. When I saw her in "Thirteen" crying on the kitchen floor with her scars exposed and floor ripped up with her mother sobbing into her arms. My heart broke. It felt so real...that raw energy. She's just an incredible actress.

I think Kristen Chenowith was perfect for the Glinda role in Wicked. She is naturally so cute and perky and she just fit the part so well!

I never thought that much of her

If I were to pick someone, Marisa Tomei

it's a mix between Johnny Depp and Kate Winslet. Kate just took my breath away in Sense and Sensibility and Finding Neverland. Johnny just inhabits those crazy and normal characters. I loved him What's Eating Gilbert Grape? and the Pirates movies.
