The Rock was surprisingly solid in The Rundown.
If he could just eliminate Vin Diesal from movies, we'd all be in much better shape.

I would have to say Phillip Seymour Hoffman, but I also like George Clooney, Tom Hanks, Edward Norton, Sam Rockwell, Charles Dutton, and John Cusack.

For comedy I'm gonna have to say Vince Vaughen and Ben Stiller.
For non-comedy I'd have to go with Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Robert DeNero (sp?)

1. Robert DeNiro- "Once apon a Time in America" is DeNiro at his best
1a. Al Pacino- "Serpico" I love it when he yells. 1b. Daniel Day-Lewis- "My Left Foot" I thought he really did have CP

I'll defend Brad Pitt as a good actor. Certainly better than Keanu.
Almost every movie he's been in has been good. And I've never seen The Mexican, so that doesn't count. |

steve buscemi - turns in a great performance every time.
william h. macy - see above. matt damon - very underrated, focuses more on the craft of acting, rather than basking in the spotlight (affleck). john cusack - plays the "everyman" better than anyone.

I agree with Steve Buscemi...Resevoir Dogs is a classic.
While flipping through the channels the other night, Mike Meyers won an uberaward on the Teen Choice Awards...I have to say that I agree he is great. So I Married an Axe Murderer is highly underrated. |

My faves, with their best movies:
John Cusack - Better Off Dead - "I want my two dollars!" Harrison Ford - Raiders of the Lost Ark Just as a note, Val Kilmer was awesome in Willow! He was the best part of that flick! |

I agree with many of the above selections, especially Kevin Spacey, John Cusack and Robert DeNiro. But let us not forget Gene Hackman, who always manages to turn in an excellent performance regardless of the quality of the film (and he's been in a more than a few clunkers).

I am a closet George Clooney fan too. He has that Hollywood of yesteryear mystique to him (ala Clark Gable)... hard to explain.
I like Denzel, DeNiro, Hanks... most of the names here. Will Smith for comedies.

Nicholas Cage is a great actor, but so is Sean Penn and Matt Damon. I'm a stickler for the Bourne movies.
Oh and Haley Joel Osment is the best child actor, ever.

So many of these guys I like.
I'll start with someone I don't like. I can't stand Al Pacino. He is WAY over the top. He has been great in some roles. Glen Gary Glen Ross for example, but the guy with bulging eyes, who yells his lines shows up way too often. Hanks always a treat. Hoffman rarely disappoints. I think those two are pretty well legends I am addicted to John Cusack flicks. I am emabarrased that I forgot (edit)Denzel Washington. I really like William H Macy and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I am also oddly drawn to Tim Roth, Eric Stolz, and Steve Buscemi. There are some other guys mentioned here that I think are good, not great, but I love to watch them on screen. Tom Cruise Will Smith Harrison Ford Brad Pitt why not? Last edited by Glengoyne : 08-13-2004 at 02:37 PM. |

Agree with most of the choices made here, pretty solid.
I'd add Chris Cooper to the list, he's always playing supporting spots but does a fantastic job of it. I think the deal with Brad Pitt is, say what you will about his acting skills, he has excellent taste in picking roles. I've enjoyed every film I've seen him in. (I haven't seen The Mexican either) Ed Norton also makes the list, and has done a good job with his movie selection for the most part. DeNiro is a guy who has made some horrible horrible movies, but he tends to make at least his parts bearable to watch. I'm also a sucker for Billy Bob Thornton, what can I say? John Malkovich is another guy I love to watch. I could keep going on and on. |

This sort of thing is so tough for me to answer because I don't know if I am really voting for an actor or for the characters he plays or for a favorite movie such and such actor may have been in.
Here's a list with thoughts: Tim Robbins-- surprised no one has mentioned TR yet, who for me was absolutely perfect in The Shawshenk Redemption. Also great as a jaded Hollywood screenwriter in The Player, as the arrogant star-on-the-rise in Bull Durham, the twisted mastermind in Arlington Road, and the delusional Vietnam soldier in Jacob's Ladder. Also pulls off wacky pretty well in flicks like Hudsucker Proxy and Nothing To Lose. Denzel Washington-- Just saw him again in The Manchurian Candidate (creepy, but thrilling twisted pic, BTW). I always like Denzel in whatever he is in. He is always competent, he picks good flicks and he's a guy I like to root for. Tom Cruise-- I disagree that Tom Cruise is always "Tom Cruise playing a role" as opposed to becoming a character. I do agree he plays cocky and arrogant very well, starting with Top Gun. But I think he shows he has some pretty good emotional depth as an actor in films like Jerry Maguire and A Few Good Men (when he is doubting himself). He also picks some pretty good pics, and I am still trying to find time to go check out Collateral. Tom Hanks-- Gotta piggyback on everyone else. Tremendous depth with this guy. Feels like he can literally play "every man" (except for evil, psycho killer; haven't seen him do that yet). All I need to do is imagine the differences between Forrest Gump, the AIDS-infected lawyer in Philadelphia, the detective in Catch Me If You Can and the hardened WW2 platoon leader in Saving Private Ryan to know how well he pulls off all his roles. That's just for starters. I could go on for a long time about some of my other favorites, like Spacey (who has fallen off a bit), Jackson (don't mind if he keeps playing kickass mean bastards--he does them well), Patrick Stewart (always classy), Freeman (classy and picks good pics), Kevin Pollak (wisecracker deluxe), Harrison Ford (the white Denzel, measured and smooth, or is the other way around?), Pitt (not afraid to do wacky), Duvall (never a letdown), Norton (whe he isn't doing Oscar-style movies), Bruce Willis (when he isn't too actiony), Mel Gibson (when he isn't too preachy), Russell Crowe (when he plays commanding figures), Depp (perfect "wacky" actor), Gene Hackman (when he plays mean, or when he plays a smarmy politician-type), and David Morse (plays gruff tough guys well). I'm sure there are a ton more. While I certainly respect guys like Nicholson, DeNiro and Pacino, I must admit they are not my favorites. I enjoy their films, and they are in some true classics, but they don't make me want to run out and see a movie like some of the guys above do, not anymore anyway. CR

Damn it. I was about to write the same joke, but then I realized there was a second page to this thread and knew someone would beat me to it. I'd have a tough time naming my favorite, but it would be someone among: DeNiro, Spacey, Ed Norton, Morgan Freeman, SamueL, Buscemi, Chazz Palminteri, Benicio Del Toro, LL Cool J, Jason Lee, Joey Pants, and Mike Madsen. |

Almost all Denzel movies are sweet, Man on Fire is my favorite movie of the year by far. And I forgot his name, but that guy who played Gandi.
