Liev Schreiber and Naomi Watts

Jon Voight thinks Liev Schreiber is "a perfect leading man."

The 75-year-old actor, who is Angelina Jolie's father, is a huge fan of his 'Ray Donovan' co-star and thinks he is one of the best actors in Hollywood.

Speaking about the 46-year-old star, who is in a long-term relationship with Naomi Watts, Jon said: "He's attractive. He's sexy. He's dangerous. He's got a sense of humour. He's intelligent and he has great emotional depth."

He also told E! News: "I am going to say this right in front of him. I'm a big fan of Liev's and I have been for years, since I worked with him many years ago and I followed his career. I always felt like he was a perfect leading man."

Liev recently said his partner Naomi, with whom he has sons Samuel, five and Alexander, seven, is a huge fan of their critically acclaimed TV series.

He said: "It was a real treat to watch it with Naomi. She's a harsh critic, and to see her enjoying it and her family enjoying it was real fun."

But the actor doesn't usually like their children visiting him during filming, as he worries about setting a bad example.

He said: "They come by every once and a while and they know what I do. But you show up on set, and Daddy has people helping him do everything.

"And there's a fancy trailer. I don't know if it's necessarily the best way to inspire a work ethic or show them the value of a day's rate, but it's something I certainly hope they'll inherit along the way."
