Who are some of the best known actors associated with Thrillers?

Vin Diesel

Mark Sinclair otherwise known as Vin Diesel is one of the greatest thriller actors of all time in my opinion. He was born in July 1967 in California. Many people would know him best from the Fast and Furious films where he plays the character of Dominic Torreto. As well as staring in the Fast and Furious films, Vin Diesel has featured in some of the greatest thriller films of all time. These include; Find Me Guilty, Strays, Saving Private Ryan and many more. He has all the characteristic's to make him a good thriller actor, within his films he is often seen as the big scary guy that nobody would think twice about messing with. But he has another side which is a caring loving side towards family and friends, this is best shown within the film Fast and Furious.

Quentin Tarantino

Quentin was born on the 27th of March 1963 in Tennessee. As well as being an actor and staring in many thriller films, Quentin is also an American Film Director, Screenwriter and a producer. It is fair to say that he is very experienced within the filming industry and has a great understanding of the filming environment. He has featured in many films but most people would know him from the film Pulp Fiction. 

This is just a small seen from the film Pulp Fiction, Quentin has no fear of talking to people who would be considered to be dangerous. He tells the men straight up, this gives the audience an opportunity to try and work out whether he is lying or telling the truth. This is how the suspense is created within a thriller film.

This quote from Quentin is a great summery of what a thriller should be,

'A writer should have this little voice inside of you saying, Tell the truth. Reveal a few secrets here.'
