Do You Collect Movies Starring Your Favourite Actor? Who is your favourite actor?

I'd say that Directors are more important than actors, but there are a few actors whose movies I pay attention to more than others (Michael Fassbender, Edward Norton, Bill Murray, Harrison Ford, Tom Hardy...)

Why though? If you really like your favourite actor's performances in certain films, wouldn't you want to see all of the different kinds of roles that they have taken over the course of their career?

Directors have much more control of a movie than the actors do. Typically, directors also have a specified style where actors tend to be more versatile (the exception often being comedians who tend to have a comedic style). There are plenty of terrible movies with great actors, but I'd say there are far fewer terrible movies with great directors. A great director makes great movies, a great actor enables great directors to make great movies.
