After seeing bigbelterbaby's for actresses, that gave me the idea of starting one for actors. What are some actors that you would like to see on stage on Broadway (in a straight play)?
My Choices:
Jamie Bell
Benedict Cumberbatch
Leonardo DiCaprio
Michael Fassbender
Joseph Gordon-Levitt
Matthew McConaughey
Mark Wahlberg
For me, the #1 Actor that I want to come and do Broadway is Christoph Waltz. He's an incredible actor, and I think I've heard that he can sing too.

If Benedict Cumberbatch comes to Broadway I will do something I have never done before.... pay for premium seating.
Benedict Cumberbatch
and I want Eddie Redmayne back
Michael Emerson, for Christ's sakes. When he was doing LOST, all he talked about was how he couldn't wait to get back to the theater, and then he took "Person of Interest" immediately after LOST ended.
Sheridan Smith!
David Tennant. And yes, Benedict Cumberbatch.

I want trained and talented stage actors making their mark on the boards... without Hollywood taking the jobs solely for box office value. That's just me, though...

Adding to my list:

Danny DeVito
Mads Mikkelsen
Jonah Hill
Jim Carrey
Joseph Gordon Levitt (a possibly future Emcee?)
and I'd watch George Clooney read the phone book so I'll add him to my list too.
