For Paul Newman:
Whatever you do, never ever start smoking because it will be the thing that kills you if you start.
And please, please, please make at least three movies with Robert Redford after you meet him.

Keanu Reeves:
Trust me, everyone will make fun of you and hate you as an actor. You will never get any parts and you will not make any money. At all ever.
You will get laughed out of town. Really, you will. No one will want to work with you ever.
You need to do something that fits your personality. You know. Something you don't have to think about too much but you can make really good money at it.
So learn a trade. Become a plumber, car mechanic or an elevator worker where you will make way the hell more money at any of those then acting and they are much more exciting to.

I don't have a particular favorite actor, but a few I can think of:
Sean Connery - You're going to see the "League of Extraordinary Gentlemen" pop up as a potential role around the time you mentioned retiring. Retire before this one.
Christian Bale - Smoke a joint before one of those long days of shooting on the Terminator sequel you'll star in.
Arnold Schwarzeneggar - Beware of anything called Mr. Freeze.
Sir Patrick Stewart - Get all of your favorite hairstyles out of the way as quickly as possible.
William Shatner - During a dark period of your life, you'll think about making a record featuring a song by someone named Elton John. Don't let anyone convince you this is a wrong decision. It is absolutely the right one. (Interesting story to look in to)
Warren Beatty - "Dick Tracy" is going to be a passion project that pays off big time, but don't hog the rights to it after you've done it.
Clint Eastwood - The piano will be good to you, but don't sing the theme to a great movie you'll make later on called "Gran Torino."
Bill Murray - Don't let them talk you into committing to "Garfield!" (The way he was roped in is pretty interesting)
Whoopi Goldberg - You're going to do a lot of great things for children's entertainment, but Theodore Rex isn't going to be one of them (anyone else remember this movie?)
So many actors/actresses - lay off the booze and blow once in a while, and don't start 'til you're at least 16.
Actresses - bring someone into the meetings with the studio with you, because some power hungry dudes are real sickos.
Robin Williams - Smile, bud. Everyone's going to love you.
Nice topic!

That is actually a Really Good and Tough Question to Answer.

Johnny Depp - Don’t try to be the same type character in all your movies. People don’t like beating a dead horse, kid.

Kid Bogie- Wait until you meet a gal named Lauren Bacall before getting married. Trust me It'll work out better that way.
Kevin Costner as a kid- Please at least try to speak with an English accent in the Robin Hood picture you're gonna star in when you grow up.
Will Smith as a kid- Be careful about co-starring with your future kids.
Bruce Willis as a kid- Swearing will help your stutter.

Not exactly a favorite actor but Roscoe "Fatty" Arbuckle - Stay away from anyone named Virginia Rappe.
Just about every actor from the Silent Era to the 1970's - Stay away from the booze and the cigarettes, you'll be able to make more movies for us to enjoy.

Emily Blunt, when offered a role in the Jack Black movie Gulliver’s Travels...don’t accept it. Instead, take the role as Black Widow when Marvel comes calling. It might not seem like it at first, but it’ll eventually pay off and you’ll headline your own movie.

David Carradine
When you're an older man and you find yourself alone in a hotel room and you're thinking of doing something weird that if you get caught it will ruin your legacy, my advice don't do it whatever you do just don't do it, just use your hand.

I can’t think of any advice I could give someone who I know grows up to be a successful actor. Seems rather impertinent to think you could offer anything in the way of advice to someone who is going to be way more successful than you will ever be.
