my fav star is mel gibson and chris tucker

This is a joke post, right? Kevin Costner is better than Mel Gibson, ffs.

Greatest actor of all-time? Who knows, but I'd give very strong consideration to Humphrey Bogart. Ever hear of him?

I'd say the biggest movie star right now is George Clooney, followed closely by Matt Damon, Leo DeCaprio and Brad Pitt.

I don't know about ever but you can't go wrong with

Tom Hanks, Will Smith

There are many great actors out there, including Tom Hanks, Mel Gibson. But, for me, if we are talking purely acting talents, I think Johnny Depp and Robert Downey Jr are two of the greatest talents around now.

Jim Carrey started out as a real goofball, with Ace Ventura, but through "Man on the Moon", "The Truman Show" and "Eternal Sunshine" he is also becoming great.

A lot of people hate Kevin Costner, and although I will admit that he is not the greatest "actor", some of what people call his 'bad' movies are some of my favorite (Waterworld, The Postman).

For actresses, I'd have to go with Reese Witherspoon. And although she is just a kid and already doing good stuff, I think Dakota Fanning will continue to be great.

Looking back in older days, my favorite actor from yesteryear would have to be Jimmy Stewart.

I'm a big fan of Edward Norton's work. His acting and choice of scripts is solid.

I'm a big fan of Depp & Benicio Del Toro (Fear & Loathing)

Hanks is another one of my favorites.

I'm shocked that there hasn't been any mention of Pacino yet.

Edward Norton is at the top of my list. As are Deniro, Pacino, Depp, DiCaprio, Pitt, and Clooney.

I think Brad Pitt can be seriously underrated as an actor. Sean Penn never gets enough credit. Jeff Spicoli turned into a man with some serious dramatic chops.

My guilty pleasure is Bruce Willis. I love his movies. All of 'em.

My favorite actor of all time is Brando, followed by Bill Murray and DeNiro.

Ed Norton, Benicio del Toro, Johnny Depp, and Sean Penn seem like the cream of THAT generation.

Wang

Robert Deniro, Al Pacino, Denzel Washington.

Brad Pitt and Sean Penn are hardly underrated. There's more than enough press on both guys.

Okay...Bruce Willis. I must know. Did you like Hudson Hawk?

1. Morgan Freeman

2. William Powell

3. Robert Deniro

4. Ernest


AINEC

Yeah, I'm a big fan of Denzel but sometime I question his choice of roles. He was great in Malcolm X but I think my favourite was Mo Better Blues. "it's just a **** thing"

Would you like to swing on a star

Carry moon beams home in a jar

Or just be better off than you are....

Or would you rather be a fish?

Paul Newman

I didn't say they were underexposed. I think Brad Pitt is a superstar with less critical acclaim than he deserves, and the same for Sean Penn (though over the last year or two he's been finally getting a lot of the credit he deserves).

Robert Duvall. Also incredibly underrated.

Hudson Hawk sucks, but leave me alone. 90% of his crappy movies are still mega awesome (Think: The Fifth Element).

Wang

He's not the best, but, I will say that this year Edward Norton really showed what his true range is with three different performances in Down in the Valley, The Illusionist, and the Painted Veil.

I can't believe that Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Ruffalo haven't been said yet. As far as pure acting talents, they are two of the best going right now

QFT.

You just picked my next 3 rentals. okay, okay,...torrents. but thx anyways.

Totally forgot about him. He was absolutely awesome in Owning Mahowny. Another favorite.

Yah.

Matt Damon
Ian Mckellen
Will Smith
Kiefer Sutherland.

I will watch almost any movie if these actors are in it.

SHOCKING!

Id have to say Norton. No ones said Nicolas Cage or Clive Owen yet either.

Jack Nicholson is pretty good and hasn't been mentioned yet.

uh, because he doesn't belong in the discussion, that's why he hasn't been mentioned

Nice thread...

#1 def has to be De Niro. Just an amazing actor that has done soo much for his roles. Soo many great movies and characters.

Others are Dicaprio, Pacino, Norton, Damon, Walken and Hanks.

When Dicaprio's career is over, he's going to be one of the most respected actors of all time right up there next to De Niro on my list. His ability to play such a large variety of roles and his constant teaming with Scorcese is just amazing.

This is a huge understatement. Nicholson is right up there in my top 5 all-time actors, maybe #1.

let's talk ladies here. I'll watch any Cate Blanchett movie. I think she's the best actress around right now. Or, at least in the top three.

Well, only one broad can get D-unit out to the movies. Anyone think they know? It's not Natalie Portman.

Oh, wait, it is Natalie Portman.

You're not counting all the times you went to the movies expecting women (Mrs. Doubtfire, Norbit, Tootsie) became disappointed, but jerked off anyways?

I'm not sure what would be gayer: masturbating to Mrs. Doubtfire, or going to see Norbit. At least Mrs. Doubtfire had Sally Field. Oh, wait, yeah; it's a horse race.

Beck's brother-in-law, Giovanni Ribisi in an excellent actor.

Don't talk crasy now. No one is worse than Kostner. The rock has more dramatic range.

Arliss Howard

Paul Walker.

Jay Schroeder never really got his break,


at least not after the phony autograph bad socks agent fiasco in the mid 80s.

Great in Saving Private Ryan and Boiler Room.

Robert Downey Jr.

very good sir!

Laugh all you want but Leo Dicaprio is a current front runner. I have renewed appreciation after The Departed.


Also's...


Anthony Hopkins
Jack Nicholson
Robert DiNiro
Al Pacino
Paul Giamati
Christopher Walken
Gary Oldman
Samuel L Jackson


so many.....

Really?

Totally agree about Phillip Seymour Hoffman and Mark Ruffalo.
