My Top 10-Danial Afzal Khan

My Top 10-Danial Afzal Khan

DASHING Pakistani actor Danial Afzal Khan has shown off his impressive range as a performer in projects including drama serials that have entertained global audiences.

The popular star has never shied away from acting challenges and is looking forward to expanding his horizons further.


Eastern Eye found out more about his inspirations when he picked 10 actors he admires.

He said: “Watching those I have selected in my top 10 has been the school and workshop an actor needs. Also, their work, genius and persona inspire me to keep getting better and better. Of course, there is a huge difference in the medium and work environment, but one can pick on the bits and chunks, and mould them for their own betterment and as an add-on to their skill set.”

Top 10 inset Denzel Washington the equalizer Denzel Washington

Denzel Washington: Denzel because, well, if not Denzel, then who? Just him being there in

a scene is a scene in itself. The man, his range of emotions, expressions, the originality, and command he has over his craft is just, wow. I can watch his movies any day, any time without knowing the plot or synopsis. Him playing the part is enough.

Russel Crowe: When those magnetic eyes act, they create so much magic on screen. It’s such

a treat to watch his effortlessness in playing those magnanimous characters, pretending to be so ordinary yet acting in such an extra ordinary way.

Top 10 inset Anthony Hopkins silence of the lambs Sir Anthony Hopkins

Sir Anthony Hopkins: The legendary actor is a ‘Sir’ for a reason. The opening shot of him in

Silence Of The Lambs is enough to understand the depth and command he has over his craft. It still gives me chills whenever I watch that scene. His skill and portrayals are immense.

Benicio del Toro: He is such an enigma. Nobody has really understood how he does what he does, so who am I to say anything? The Del Toro the name is enough.

Robert Downey Jr: I guess the current billions of dollars which Marvel makes is all thanks to Mr Downey. That tells the tale of what amazing magic he has. He is supremely talented, and him just being himself is enough for a great performance. The world even after the end of Iron Man isn’t over Iron Man, all thanks to him. He’s a different breed.

Cillian Murphy: Isn’t it a treat to watch this man deliver his line in his very own Cillian way? Those dead sad expressions – his whole body resonates with it, and you feel it. That man is a genius. Anyone who doesn’t agree can watch him play Tommy (in Peaky Blinders) or The  Scarecrow.

Andrew Garfield: I had surprisingly never liked his performances before, but after seeing

him in Hacksaw Ridge, I went back to watch his work. And man, this very ordinary boy next door is a giant when it comes to acting.

Brad Pitt: Well, if there’s one actor who is a treat just to look at, then it is him. He backs that up with his brilliant acting ability. He also has this huge God-given charisma that people don’t see past. The only actor, in my opinion, whom you can watch on screen just because he’s there. He can be dead silent, yet it’s Pitt you have to watch.

Christoph Waltz: When he acts, it’s doesn’t even feel like he’s in the same world or is on the same frequency as normal beings. He’s on another level. And I can’t understand how you get that level of supremacy in your craft.

Top 10 inset Johnny Depp as jack sparrow ult Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp: Well, who cannot love Johnny and his work? The innovation, newness and style he brings to his roles, no one comes close. Whether it is Edward Scissorhands, or Captain Jack Sparrow, he has characters you can’t imagine anyone else playing.
