Can someone give me some links to some good short films that only have one actor in it. I wanna see some of these types of movies to get some inspiration and see how they manage to keep it interesting.

This one doesn't have any other actors until the very end (they're unimportant to the rest of the film, anyway).

I was waiting for Rod Serling to pop out. Very TZ. Looks simple, but some elaborate shots that don't call attention to themselves. Road closures. They did it right.

I like this one. I watched it to the end -- rare for me. Congrats to the filmmakers of this!

Several Twilight Zone episodes, most notably "The Invaders" with Agnes Moorehead. Also notable for having nearly no dialog.
 
I think most things are not as interesting when it only has one person in the film.

A full length film that is good that has mainly one character for most of the film
Cast Away
127 hours
 
I don't know if it's on youtube or anything, but there's that one film that New Zealander Cameron Duncan made that can be found on the "Return of the King" appendices disc. Very very good.
 
Agreed. Awesome, had me the whole way... My only comment is that it's primarily his POV, and so would have liked him to look at his hands first, then reveal what he has done.
 
i had no budget so went for a d.i.y job and filmed 90% in my house. having no acting skills i appeared in the film as myself,i think having some of the dialouge run over some scenes as a thought rather than spoken word helps.also an animal that the actor can sound off to is a great prop..
this was my effort
