Another question where I just have so many favorites, and to narrow them down is really hard tbh. I'll try though. You listed a few that I was going to put on my list (Tom Hanks, John Wayne, Harrison Ford), so I'll just add to that. Most of the people I'll list are actors and actresses who made a big impression on me growing up, and I admire a great deal. In no particular order..
Robin Williams. That man made me laugh and smile so much as a child, he was just so talented. I remember my mom once saw him in a comedy club years ago, and he would just ask the audience to say one word and he would create a whole comedy routine around that word in such a genius way that it had everyone laughing so hard they were in tears. I find a majority of his quotes to be very inspiring. It's so sad to know that a man who could make everyone laugh was hurting so much inside, when I heard of his death, I truly felt like I had lost a family member.
Bill Murray. He's a legend. Another actor that has always made me smile and laugh a lot. Joy and laughter are just so important, and anyone who is capable of emitting them from other people has a gift in my eyes. I also just think he's an absolutely amazing human being, and when you hear about the shenanigans he gets into, it's hard not to like him lol.
Julie Andrews. Many of my favorite childhood movies have her in them. I honestly adore every movie this women has done, she's beautiful, kind, funny, an amazing singer and actress, and the perfect picture of elegance and class in my opinion. I look up to her a lot, and wish to be more like her.
Liam Neeson. He just plays the paternal figure so well, I can't help but see him as my father whenever I watch his movies. To me, that's true talent, when you're acting resonates with the viewer in such a way, and for that he will always be one of my top actors.
Clint Eastwood. What else needs to be said? He's Clint Eastwood lol.
Damn, hard question. There are so many I love, but, here goes:
Robin Williams. I absolutely loved this guy. Such a fucking wonderful talent who will be sorely missed. He always made me laugh and cry and had such an effect on me. R.I.P. Robin.
Tom Hanks. Such a versatile actor and so incredibly talented. He's been in some of my favourite movies of all time.
Kate Winslet. Its funny, I used to have a crush on this woman. But she is another amazing actress who has done so many different types of roles. I really started to become a fan of hers when I watched Titanic.
Jim Carrey. The guy is brilliant and so god damn funny.
Emma Stone. Gorgeous and really talented.

great list!!...but no Al Pacino?
De Niro is my fav actor too.
Trust me, I think he's great. Hell, he's one of cinema's best actors. The thing is, I haven't really seen a lot of his movies. And he hasn't necessarily left a huge impact on me. If I watch The Godfather or Scarface, then my mind might change.
Leonardo Dicaprio.
Al Pacino
Robert DeNiro
Denzel Washington
Gael Garcia
Samuel L motherfuckin Jackson
