I sent out a survey to all grades and teachers. This survey includes some of the best actors. The male actors include: Jamie Dornan (known for playing in Fifty Shades of Grey as Mr. Grey), Channing Tatum (known for playing in Magic Mike as Mike), Hayden Christensen known for playing in the Star Wars franchise as Darth Vadar), Paul Rudd (known for playing in The Marvel Cinematic Universe as Ant-Man), Tom Cruise (known for playing in Top Gun as Lt. Pete “Maverick” Mitchell), Brad Pitt (known for playing in Thelma and Louise as J.D.), Ryan Gosling (known for playing in Drive as an unnamed Hollywood stunt driver), Ryan Reynolds (known for playing in Deadpool as Deadpool), Bradley Cooper (known for playing in The Hangover as Phil), and Zac Efron (known for playing in High School Music as Troy Bolton).

The female actors include: Megan Fox (known for playing in Transformers as Mikaela Banes), Scarlett Johansson (known for playing in Iron Man 2 as Natasha Romanova), Jessica Alba (known for playing in Dark Angel as Max Guevara), Margot Robbie (known for playing in The Wolf of Wall Street as Naomi Lapaglia), Nataile Portman (known for playing in Black Swan as Nina Sayers), Jennifer Lawrence (known for playing in The Hunger Games: Catching Fire as Katniss Everdeen), Jennifer Aniston (known for playing in Friends as Rachel Green), Kristen Bell (known for playing in Frozen as Anna), Emma Watson (known for playing in The Harry Potter franchise as Hermione Granger), Adriana Lima (known for playing in Ocean’s Eight as Adriana Lima).

I got 20 responses for this survey. Out of the 20 responses 45% said that Ryan Reynolds was the most attractive male actor. That was the only response that everyone agreed on. Paul Rudd, Channing Tatum, and Tom Cruise were all tied for 5%. The other responses from this survey were: Johnny Depp, Eddie Redmayne, Christian Bale, Jamie Campbell Bower, Henry Cavill, Adam Sandler, Tom Hiddleston, and Dylan O’Brien. For the most attractive woman actor, 21.1% said that Megan Fox was the most attractive. The second most voted was Emma Watson 15.8%. For third it was tied three ways, Jennifier Lawerence, Margot Robbie, Scarlett Johansson at 10.5%. There was only a vote for Nataile Portman. The other responses were: Zendaya, Sadie Sink, Anne Hathway, and Salma Hayek.

For my next question I asked who is your favorite female actor. Emma Watson had the most votes with 25%. For second it was close but Jennifer Aniston had the second highest with 20%. Coming in third was Margot Robbie. There were two votes for Scarlett Johansson. For the other category people put Betty White, Maya Hawke, Cate Blanchett, and Anne Hathaway. Then I asked who is your favorite male actor. Coming in again at first, which isn’t a surprise, is Ryan Reynolds with 42.1%. Tied at second is one of my favorites, Channing Tatum, and Zac Efron with 10.5%. Paul Rudd, Brad Pitt, and Ryan Gosling all tied for third with one vote each. For the other category people put: Adam Sandler, Anthony Hopkins, Eddie Redmayne, and Christian Bale.

Lastly, I asked why those actors are their favorite. Maddie Stafford said she likes Zac Efron because of High School Musical. Rebecca Krug’s response as to why she likes Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne was “Eddie Redmayne is in a movie about Stephen Hawking and it's one of my favorites. He's also in the Fantastic Beasts movies and the Les Mis movie. Anne Hathaway is in so much like the live action Alice in Wonderland and she's also in Les Mis and she's just so pretty and amazing.” Zoey Anderson said that Paul Rudd and Margot Robbie are her favorites because “They’re funny in and out of character.” Mrs. Stewart’s response as to why she likes Betty White and Anthony Hopkins was “Anthony Hopkins is so talented in everything that he does.
