Michael Douglas

Some of Douglas' best films are Romancing the Stone, A Perfect Murder, and Basic Instinct. My favourite Michael Douglas movie of all time, however is The American President. If you haven't seen it yet, you definitely should. It's great.

Why you'll love him: Well, I have to admit, that Nicholas Van Orton is not the most appealing of characters. But come on, it's Michael Douglas! Of course you'll love him!
