Who do you think is the greatest ever actor?
Personally i think either Steve McQueen, Michael Caine or James Coburn

Will smith

:pink: leo dicaprio. he's super sexy & can act just about any character.

Johnny Depp. Hands down.

Jude Law
Christina Ricci
Lindy Booth
Milla Jovovich

River Phoenix.
Joaquin Phoenix.
Keanu Reeves.
Corey Feldman.
Leonardo Dicaprio.
Johnny Depp.

Keanu Reeves?

You have got to be kidding me, the only part he is suited for is an emotionless, monotonous robot.

Johnny Depp is good. I'm also a big fan of Christian Bale, American Psycho is one of the best performances I've ever seen. I also like Ewan McGregor.

River Phoenix.

Tim Curry.

Jake Gyllenhaal!!!

Woh... Tough one.
Johnny Depp, Bruce Willis and Robin Williams gets my vote.

River Phoenix

I think Keanu Reeves is a great actor.
Espeshally in My Own Private Idaho.

i'm gonna say dustin hoffman. the contrast of characters he played is phenomenal. when i saw rain man i could genuinely believe he was autistic.

if not him then harrison ford. he could play any role effortlessly.

Johnny Depp goes well in any movie
Al Pacinco
John Travelta
Christopher Walken
Branden Lee In The Crow

Morgan Freeman.

hilarry duff like duh

I think Keanu Reeves is a great actor.
Espeshally in My Own Private Idaho.

Well I don't know that movie, but what I've seen (Matrix, Constantine, Speed, Chain Reaction, Devil's Advocate) he has had very little emotion and one constant tone of voice, gets a little boring.

I fear the only reason he gets so many part is because he is a very attractive man.

al pacino,robert de niro,morgan freeman,brad pitt(he was quality in snatch)

Marlon Brando,Robert DeNiro,Humphrey Bogart,Jack Nicholson,Henry Fonda,Eddie Griffin,James Cagney,Kirk Douglas,John Cazale

Well I don't know that movie, but what I've seen (Matrix, Constantine, Speed, Chain Reaction, Devil's Advocate) he has had very little emotion and one constant tone of voice, gets a little boring.

Eh.
I liked Speed.
Thats what got me really into him.
He is attractive. Very attractive.
Constantine was a bad movie in my opinion.

Well Speed was a good action flick and he was alright in it, Speed 2 sucked without him.

I liked the story to Constantine and the darkness of it, but towards the second half they needed someone who could portray emotions stongly and Keanu Reeves is not the best at that.

I do like Keanu Reeves, probably just because he looks good on screen, but he just isn't that great of an actor.

The Rock, Kane, John Cena

Gregory Peck

Gregory Peck
great actor...
johnny depp, marlon brando too.

hmm. this is a very hard question. i narrowed it down to four men. i'm proud of myself.

harrison ford
steve mcqueen
paul newman
sidney poitier

Well Speed was a good action flick and he was alright in it, Speed 2 sucked without him.

I didn't even know there was a Speed 2.
You really should see My Own Private Idaho.
It's so good.

i think only a few people have come anywhere near close, deniro IS the best actor of all time.


the best ones of recent history would be pacino, johnny depp, christopher walken, kevin spacey, ed norton and samuel l jackson

if we're going further back then humphrey bogarte, james cagney and marlon brando would be there

steve mcqueen

Yay! finally someone agrees with at least one of my choices!

Yay! finally someone agrees with at least one of my choices!

robert redford deserves an honorable mention, i think. atleast for his work with paul newman in the sting.. fantastic movie.

Here's my vote: CILLIAN MURPHY CILLIAN MURPHY CILLIAN MURPHY!!!

He's not an actor, he's Irish...

Edward Norton.
Anyone with me on this one?

Edward Norton's only done one film I can think of. He was great in it, but not enough to go on.

And Cillian Murphy rawks... just cause he was Scarecrow in Batman Begins.

He's not an actor, he's Irish...

Um...what? Does someone have to be AMERICAN or something to be an actor? That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. lol.

And Cillian Murphy rawks... just cause he was Scarecrow in Batman Begins

Thankyouthankyouthankyou!! You are so right...I saw him first in Red Eye though...he pulls off the insane, sociopathic look so well, don't you think?

Bruce Campell.

Well I don't know that movie, but what I've seen (Matrix, Constantine, Speed, Chain Reaction, Devil's Advocate) he has had very little emotion and one constant tone of voice, gets a little boring.

I fear the only reason he gets so many part is because he is a very attractive man.


No. It is because he is cool!

I havn't seen any votes for Billy Zane yet!?

Oh. My. God. i seriously hope you are joking. :eek2:
Of course I was joking I hate her. That's why I put her in a favorite actor thread. :).

Um...what? Does someone have to be AMERICAN or something to be an actor? That was the dumbest thing I've ever heard. lol.

Do you know that actor is not a gender specific term?
My comment was as valid as yours...

Johnny Depp.

Jack Nicholson, Robert de Niro, Edward Norton (especially in American History X), Johnny Depp, ah...there more my personal favourites rather than the "best ever actor" but o well....i have alot more favourite actors but those four are the ones that spring to my mind at the moment

Johnny Depp can play just about any character

Do you know that actor is not a gender specific term?
My comment was as valid as yours...

Yup I did know that but in this case it's not politically correct as there is already a thread for actresses.

1 word

River Phoenix

That's actually two words

Denzel washington( See training day and Malcolm x. That man has serious acting chops)

Jean Reno. His performance in Leon( the Professional) was superb.

Tom Cruise-Don't like him much, but I've got to give him props. The last samurai was great.

Still, River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves.

I've been digging Macaulay Culkin a lot lately.

Edward Norton.

Al Pacino, Shaun Conery, Morgan Freeman, and Clint Eastwood in his older movies

Daniel Day-Lewis. And yes, I am extremely biased in saying that.

Philip Seymour Hoffman needs some appreciation

And how could anyone even consider Brad Pitt a decent actor? Twelve Monkeys and his 5 second role in True Romance were the two movies in which he didn't completely suck.

Tom Hanks, Totally!

John Wayne

Will Smith
Adam Sandler
The fat guy on Chuck and Larry.
Dwayne Johnson
Eminem
50cent
Can't think of anyone else.

HEATH LEDGER!!! FOR SURE!!

Edward Norton.
Anyone with me on this one?

Definitely! He was the best in American History X and I believe that is the first movie I even saw him in and it was such a great role, he always chooses awesome parts. Fight Club is another awesome movie of his and Brad Pitt is awesome in it too.
Hugo Weaving is also pretty great even though I have only seen him in The Matrix trilogy and V for Vendetta but he does a wonderful job in that.
Morgan Freeman

Robert De Niro
Joe Pesci
Christian Bale
John Travolta
Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp.

Still, River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves.

I've been digging Macaulay Culkin a lot lately.

You do realise that actors can't be eligible for "Best Ever" until they're dead?

Best actor ever: Watch North by Northwest, then you'll know.
