There's one thing that I firmly believe when it comes to movies, there are very few great actors and actresses. That bad actors can be good in a movie because the job the director did made that person's performance. I also know everyone will disagree with everyone else's answers.

But anyways, who do you think are some of the truly great actors that have worked in this era? (Note: NOT your favorite actor)

Obviously not all actors always make great movies or always have rememberable roles, but they have their share. To put it another way, if you like a certain actor in a certain movie that doesn't make them a great actor. Also I think it's important to keep in mind people that are normally considered character actors.

Let the mindless debate begin.

Sean Connery
Harrison Ford
Al Pacino
Robert Deniro
Jack Nicholson
Clint Eastwood
Mel Gibson


just to name a few at the top of my head.

Jason Robards

Audrey Hepburn

Robert Donat

Ronald Colman

Edith Evans

Lee J. Cobb

Katharine Hepburn

You just threw him in there to see if anyone would react... right?

i don't know about you but he has established himself as one of the cream of the crop

he said our generation.... i would have threw in older actors but then it wouldn't be our generation.

Carrot Top
Pauley Shore

Brad Pitt
Tom Cruise
Chad Michael Murray
Tobey Maguire
Jake Gyllenhaal
Kirsten Dunst
Leonardo DiCaprio
Viggo Mortensen

Kirsten dunst isnt an actor

Christopher Walken
Marlon Brando
Donald Sutherland
Jack Nicholson
Al Pacino
Anthony Hopkins

Sorry when I said actor I meant an actor or an actress, I have a bad habit of calling men and women actors.

I didn't say actors of our generation I said people that have acted in this era. Basically meaning the young and old that have appeared in some movies in the last 15 years or so. Sorry for the ambiguity

And lastly, move this post back to the Movies page. This has nothing to do with movie stars or celebrities.

Halle Berry
Denzel Washington
Tom Cruise
Will Smith
Renee Zellweger
Toby McGuire
Angelina Jolie

(Many more but just to name a few for now)

Christopher Walken
Orlando Bloom
sean astin
sir ian mckellen (my hero)
and other dudes

Denzel Washington
Tom Cruise
Tobey Mcguire
Brad Pitt
Matt Damon
Micheal Douglas
Hugh Jackman
Angelina Jolie
Adam Sandler
Colin Ferrell
Keanu Reeves...
for sum reason i cant think of any women so later

Alan Rickman
Jason Isaacs
Tim Roth
Tom Hanks
Anthony Hopkins
Mel Gibson
Sean Connery
Robert deniro

Michelle Pfieffer
Kate Winslet
Reese Witherspoon

The best actresses in the world today are June Brown and Nicola Pierrepont.... ten points to anyone who knows the first, and fifty if anyone's seen the second in anything..... as for actors.... well, I must say that most so-called actors don't act... they star... an actor should enable you to suspend disbelief so thoroughly that you don't realise that it is the actor on stage or screen at all... so my vote goes to Martin Clunes....

Jack Nicholson
Clint Eastwood
Mel Gibson
Robert Duvall
Sean Bean
Sean Connery
Harrison Ford
Henry Fonda
Robert Deniro
Anthony Hopkins
Charles Bronzon
Charlie Sheen

and a few others

It is of course utter nonsense to say June Brown is the best actress in the world today. She has ONE note and has been blowing it for decades.

I will give you this - she is responsible (in part) for the best single british television drama moment of the last 20 years. - The two hander with Gretchen Franklin was utter brilliance.

Edward Norton
Denzel Washington
Gene Wilder
Russel Crowe
Nicholas Cage
Morgan Freeman
