[esquared]

You guys forgot Michael Caine.

 

[OVerLoRDI]

Sean Connery.

Gregory Peck
Gary Cooper
Sean Connery
Cary Grant
Jimmy Stewart
Gene Kelly
Anthony Hopkins
Leonardo Dicaprio
Johnny Depp
Mel Gibson
Ray Liotta
& Chris Tucker

Richard Dean Anderson

Very interesting to me is that not one person named a female actor (actress). Does this mean that everyone else shares my affliction of not being able to objectively rate female actors because of personal bias toward appearance?.....Or, does everyone just think men are better actors naturally?

 

[BrokenVisage]

Hanks or DeNiro, then Ford, then Cruise.

 

[Wuffsunie]

I'd say Clint Eastwood.

Sean Connery as a close second.

No, just that it was specified "actor" and since most of us have a hardcore aversion to political correctness around here, we still differentiate between the male (actor) and female (actress).

 

[homercles337]

Sidney Poitier, then Brad Pitt.

hes great

first thing i saw him in was Dirty Rotten Scoundrels

still love that movie

 

[Manuwell]

Steve McQueen
Paul Newman
Bruce Lee
Chuck Norris

 

[classy]

Tom Cruise

 

[imported_Imp]

Al Pacino: can't believe no one's said it yet.

Oddly, I haven't really watched the Godfather and his other 'gangster' movies all too much. But he is amazing in Heat and Scent of a Woman. He makes Simone pretty good, Devil's Advocate watchable and let's not forget Angels in America.

 

[jadinolf]

As always, Franklin Pangborn.

Ok... that's three points off your man card for not knowing... and one hard slap in the nuts for not reading the summary in the link and answering your own question.

Hmm, I've seen exactly none of those movies.

of all-time? robert deniro. even though recently his pick of roles has been pretty damn terrible, i cant ignore a fantastic past.

but i would like to add that clive owen is currently the actor who i think has the potential to eventually be listed in the top 10 when his career is said and done.

 

[JulesMaximus]

You guys naming actors like Tom Cruise need to watch some older movies once in a while.

Oh, and I can't believe nobody has mentioned Robert Redford yet. He's definitely better than Tom Cruise...

personally i dont think clive owen has the versatility of some of the better actors of his generation like Norton, DiCaprio or even Brad Pitt
