greatest actor of all time

It's hard for me to decide between Will Smith, Johny Depp, and Geoffry Rush. (Don't know if I spelled those names right. Forgive me)

Will Smith?

hahaha...might as well say Ben Affleck as well

Mine would be Nicholas Cage, great actor. Loved him in Con Air.

Chevy Chase. The man has so much breadth. I remember seeing him as Macbeth in an off-Broadway production at The Little Dildo. Stunning.

Lawrence Olivia is easily the greatest actor of all time so this discussion can end now.Thats a known fact.Every major director and actor will tell you the same thing,that he is considered the greatest actor of all time that everybody tries to measure themselves up to in trying to become a good actor.okay whos the SECOND greatest? we can discuss THAT now.

That's what I said.
WILL SMITH.
I didn't like his work in Fresh Prince of Belair, but his later works blew me away. My favorites being The Pursuit of Happiness and I Am Legend.

I like him. Still funny to see him on a "greatest actor of all time" list.

My personal favorites. This was the Hollywood i grew up on 😎

Harrison Ford
Jack Nicholson
Robert De Niro
Michael Douglas

i also admire James Stewart and Gregory Peck 😉

No mentions of Christopher Lee? I'm appalled. He is leaps and bounds ahead of some of the rubbish performers we see today.

I wouldnt say 'leaps and bounds'. Dont get me wrong, he's a terrific actor, but he only made it 'big' (all the Dracula films and Wickerman aside) late in his career, which is why he's in such popular demand in Hollywood today.

Ian McKellen tops my list.

I am also very fond of Sigourney Weaver, Morgan Freeman, River Phoenix, Peter Sellers(in Being There but not in the Pink Pather movies),Peter O'Toole and Chewbacca.

"I don't like the name Lawrence, only ******* and sailors are called Lawrence. From now on you're Gomer Pyle."

Laurence Olivier was a bisexual.

John Wayne being 41, let alone on this list is a shame, that guy sucks unwashed ass.

My pick for worst made 90.

Then again, Tom Cruise is on the list.

Oh, i dont know. Pretty much the best list you could assemble - if you know film well enough to recognise the greats like Gable, Bogart, Cagney, etc
