 Greatest Actor of the 20th century?
I was wondering who some of the more serious movie buffs here would consider the best actor (not actress) of the 20th century? I know I probably missed some so feel free to check the other box and type in your answer. Please try to just pick one if you have to chose the other box.
This was hard for me but I chose Bogie 
*******NOTE********
Please dont list Ashton Kutcher, Orlando Bloom, Johnny Depp or the like. Thats just insulting to the great male actors of the last century as these guys are pretty much still starting out.

Well - I'm going to assume from the list you mean "movie actor" rather than stage?
I'd add Paul Newman, Dustin Hoffman, Gene Hackman and Sidney Poitier to that list to name but a few... But only out of respect for the also rans - no matter who our personal favourites are: it's Brando at the top of the heap.

Yeah I know, there were alot to choose from, but the poll only lets you list 10 so I went with the AFI's listing.  And yes I meant movie actors.

I understand where you guys are going with Pacino & Co. but somehow I dont think they've achieved the level of greatness of say Bogart, Cagney or Brando yet.

I think it depends who you grow up watching!!? Personally the actors that I count as Great Actors are: Johnny Depp, John Travolta, Sandra Bullock, Adam Sandler + Drew Barrymore! Purely coz I grew up watching movies with those people in them. Yeah, I give Pacino credit n stuff, but I've only watched one of his films, so I'm not gonna say his my Greatest Actor just coz he's so poular! Does that make sence??

Yes it makes perfect sense. But I am speaking of actors up until and including 1999. So some of these guys wouldnt really qualify as they are still either just getting warmed up or are working at their craft. All of the actors on my list have passed away to be sure. But in their day and time they were every bit as popular as Pacino et al.
I thought about Buster Keaton but ran out of spaces.

I put in my vote for Laurence Olivier because he is in fact considered by most the best actors in hollywood ever to be the greatest actor of all time just in cast you were not aware of that Jedi.Just thought you might find that interesting is why I mention that.
