My favorite actor is Johnny Depp. I like his movies. However, I think, that what I really like about him is a "je ne sais quoi" that I can see in him when he is acting.
Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins(SPAH) "Sir Philip Anthony Hopkins, CBE (born 31 December 1937) is a Welsh film, stage and television actor. Considered to be one of film's greatest living actors,1234 he is best known for his portrayal of cannibalistic serial killer Hannibal Lecter in the 1991's The Silence of the Lambs, its sequel, Hannibal, and its prequel, Red Dragon. S other notable film credits include The Elephant Man, Dracula, Legends of the Fall, The Remains of the Day, The Mask of Zorro, The World's Fastest Indian, Hearts in Atlantis, Nixon and Fracture.
Hopkins was born and raised in Wales, and also became a U.S. Citizen on 12 April 2000. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 2003 and was made a Fellow of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts in 2008. " (information quoted from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anthony_hopkins) what can I say this guy I was so scary in silence of the lamb and hannibal.
Forget about jason,freddy krueger and halloween etc. I have never watched a picture where I truly loved the antagonist who was a cannibalistic serial killer. To me some of the greatest actors are the ones that can play the antagonist in a movie and outshines the protagonist and make you love him or her. The only two other actors that I love and I would have put before SPAH would be Denzil Washington(training day),John Travolta(sword fish and face off) and of course who can Hugo Weaving as the agent in the matrix.
To me it is very hard for an actor to play the antagonist role and win the hearts of the audience. I always say to be consider a great actor you should be able to play the antagonist and protagonist roles in any movie and the audience love you just the same. SPAH is the only actor to me who have done this to perfection and I saying he is my best actor due to this.
Acting etc is flawless I doubt there is anyone who played a similar role and came out on tops like SPAH.
Right now I would say Robert Downey Jr. Loved him in Iron Man and he impressed me so much in his role in Tropic Thunder I have never laughed so hard at a movie. I have watched it so many times just to see his parts. So glad he was nominated for the oscar for that.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
