I was wondering who everyone thought exhibited the best acting skills on ice? I am making the subtle distinction here from overall artistic interpretation and am talking more about who really communicates the character or emotion outwardly the best, particularly in character driven programmes. I know that a lot of skaters are now working with acting coaches as well as choreographers and regular skating and fitness coaches and maybe that is paying off for some of them. As a starter, I'll make a couple of nominations and then throw the question out there for others to nominate:
Ladies: Ashley Wagner
Men: Javier Fernandez
Pairs: I'll take a man and a lady from different pairs: Aljona Savchenko and Alexander Smirnov
Dance: Papadakis and Cizeron (especially him, but both are wonderful, I prefer their acting skills to the overselling/overacting of e.g. Elena Ilynkh)
