Who's the GREATEST Actor of all time?

Started by Henry_Pym2 pages

On a serious note, Jackie Chan.

What he lacks in range he makes up with wit and charm. One of the only actors left that make me instantly want to see a film.

Christopher Lee.

/thread.

Impossible to choose. However, I do feel that Kurt Russel doesn't get the credit he deserves. I love me some Kurt Russel.

Daniel Day Lewis, over all.

Clint Eastwood for the "tough guy" type.

Also, Patrick Swayze deserves a spot up there

Benedict Cumberbatch!

Oldman's my favorite actor and his range is most impressive to me, even in not top-shelf films, his acting/characters stand out.

I don't particularly think Brando is amazing, he's done some fantastic work at times, but he seems to come off boorish and heavy in his style many a time.

I think Brando's 2 best roles (On the Waterfront and A Streetcar Named Desire) are better than anything Oldman has done. Those roles were flawless, IMO. However, Brando didn't take acting all that seriously late in life and damaged his legacy. IMO, Brando in his prime is better than Oldman. Respectfully.

I avoid most of Jackie Chan's flicks, honestly.

Dude bores me to tears.

for the last few years, it's been Leo.

My personal favorite is Clint Eastwood. Older actors such as Humphrey Bogart, Jimmy Stewart, and Spencer Tracy made fantastic movies during their times.

Maybe not the greatest, but my favorite is Tom Hanks
