Best actors on ice

[rugbyfan]

Who do you think are the best actors on ice (not just current). I always thought Kurt was one of the GOATs partly because he could skate to pretty much any style of music and make it mean something, but part (though not all) of that was that he could act. His Casablanca was Casablanca for instance. Who would you nominate?

Wagner is the first to come to mind. she was so wonderful at portraying a character and pulling you in.

edit: adding Medvedeva, truly an actress.

 

[Jeanie19]

Evgenia Medvedeva.

Jason. Brown.

Javier F.

Patrick Chan!!!!! If you're ever lucky enough to see him live, it's a treat. Amazing. Ashley Wagner, and though I'm not thrilled with some of his comments. Alexei Yagudin was also quite animated.

Evgenia Medvedeva.

100%

Daisuke Takahashi is one of the Best!

I actually thought Kim did a very good job of emoting/playing a character. Her Bond SP was one of my fave.

These days Madison Chock is the tea. For real, that girl sells the hell out of any character/program/music you throw at her.

She literally made me believe she was a reincarnated Egyptian queen one season and an alien from another galaxy another season.

Check out my avatar and you'll see the GOAT. However, Jason Brown comes in a very, very VERY close second.

Semenenko

Liza T, Josefin, Kevin also came to my mind.

 

[mrrice]

He drove me crazy but, when he skated well, I really liked Emanuel Sandhu

Josee Chouinard......

I will add to "the list" Satoko Miyahara. Satoko was versatile and subtle; very nuanced skater (nuanced actress).
Yuna Kim was very expressive. Amazing.

Kevin Aymoz, Deniss Vasiljevs

imho Kevin is much more than actor, he completely becomes the character he portrays
