Actor Vs Actor Thread

I think it would be kinda fun to compare actors and see which one is more skilled. Opinions will vary, of course. You don't necessarily need to explain why, just put your opinion and place another matchup. I'll start:

Jared Leto Vs Jake Gyllenhaal, which one is better/more skilled?

YouTube video

Leto easy, he's taken on more daring roles andes a much better actor in general. Jake has started to come through with some good roles lately but Jared is the Joker...nuff said

I say it's close, but will give leto the nod.

Oscar Isaac vs Al Pacino (prime).

cmonnnn...Pacino easy

Justin Timberlake vs. Ludacris

Ludacris.

Daniel Day Lewis vs Robert Deniro?

DeNiro, all the way.

Gary Oldman vs. Kevin Spacey.

**** that's hard. I'll say Kevin Spacey by a hair.

Johnny Depp or Leonardo Dicaprio.

Depp in his PRIME.

Oldman's physical acting is much better, his ability to change his accents seamlessly, and his performances have impressed me more somewhat. They're probably close in skill overall, but those details impress me more. Good matchup though 👆

Leonardo Dicaprio (Post Titanic) vs. Christian Bale

Leo for me. What's Eating Gilbert Grape is better than any of Bales performances. He stole the show from Depp in that movie.

Viola Davis or Meryl Streep?

Viola Davis for sure..shes intense man

Leonardo Dicaprio (Post Titanic) vs. Christian Bale

Bale is probably the most committed method actor I've ever seen. The difference in his physical appearance in the 8 months between The Machinist and Batman Begins was astonishing. Unfortunately his actual acting ability is not up to that standard. Dicaprio gets better as he gets older. He picks roles perfectly and under Scorcese has become the best actor of his generation.

Leonardo DiCaprio simply outclasses Bale in terms of talent. Bale is incredibly committed and hard working though, so no knock on him.

Tom Cruise or Bruce Willis

Bruce Willis when he actually gives a shit.

Tom Hardy or Samuel L Jackson?

Tom Cruise.

Christoph Waltz or Dustin Hoffman?

Anthony Hopkins or Michael Caine?

Hopkins. Caine is good though.

Jack Nicholson...or Marlon Brando??

Brando easily. Deniro thinks he's the best actor ever.

Leonardo DiCaprio or Tom Hanks
