What has Jerry Seinfeld ever been in that was that good in a "wow he is showing some quality acting"? Even the tv show Seinfeld..which I loved, and it was very funny..I never found myself thinking "Jerry Seinfeld just acted the shit out of this episode".
Neil seems to have a lot more range when it comes to the types of roles he can play successfully. Jerry Seinfeld seems to more or less constantly just play..Jerry Seinfeld.

I actually think Deniro circa the least 15-20 years has been nowhere near as good as Leo and I think Leo at his best was just as good as when Deniro was at his.
Originally posted by SurturI disagree Leo may be better now but better than Bobby D in the 70's, 80's and 90's hell to the no.

Valid points
IDK I can easily see Dicaprio surpassing Deniro at some point, at this point I have that about even. But a few more films with him acting to the same degree as Wolf of Wall Street, he'll surpass him eventually. What aside from Titanic, Wolf of Wall Street, Blood Diamond, etc does he have to stack up against Deniro's prime?

Can't we just talk about prime vs prime?
DiCaprio is more consistently amazing then DeNiro. I haven't seen Leo in anything that he hasn't acted the hell out of.
Gary Oldman is an iota above Dafoe for me.
NPH has more range and better acting chops then Seinfeld. Don't get me wrong though, the character of Jerry Seinfeld is probably more resonant than any character played by NPH.
Chris Evans or Ben Affleck and only acting counts

I've yet to see Evans in any standout role.
Affleck, on the other hand, has Boiler Room, Argo , Gone Girl, Dogma, Good Will Hunting, The Town all where he gave very good performances .
