    Default Re: the favorite actor or

    My wife and I have the same favorite actor.
    Five of my my students have the same favorite actor.
    Joe Smith is the favorite actor of five of my students.
    Joe Smith if both my wife's and my favorite actor.

    Some are natural but perhaps not completely grammatical.
