Top Ten Greatest Actors

“Perfect deliverer of lines and emotions. He makes mediocre movies watchable.”

“Even though Pacino is my favorite, DeNiro is the best. He has played many diverse roles, and he is very convincing. Plus, he has perfect delivery. How he isn’t at least in the Top 5 is beyond me.”

ryguys9

“He was blind. Twisted assasin. Double personality. Mentally diseased. An angry father in law. Everything. It is not a vote on handsome stars, but on talent. And he IS great.”

“love love love him... amazing actor...”

Crystalfire23

“One word: HOUSE!
Need I say more?”

“oh good god I love this man. lol he does such a good job playing house. ;)”

“The Dude, the Fisher King, K-Pax, Starman (my favorite), the Fabulous Baker Boys, Winter Kills, The Contender... lots more, folks.”

Harrietmos

“Jeff Bridges is so much more than "The Dude". He is a great actor, one of the best.”

wavelength

“He is simply the best actor out there and he deserves to win.”

MicheleHolm

“One of the best actor from Indian cinema industry”

“he is th most natural actor in th world”

“biggest star of the 1920s”

blondhenry

“Say what you want about his heart throb status and his presence in the teen magazines, he is still a spectacular actor. It’s not his fault that he became so wildly popular in the under 16 female demographic.”

“He is gonna be up there with the greatest actors of all time-just watch What’s Eating Gilbert Grape...”

lubylu8888

“One word, TITANIC”

Bec

“my favorite silent film star”

“smart-aleck star of the 20s and 30s”

“Let’s not put Denzel in a catagory of best Black actor. He is a GREAT actor period.”

“I believe that not only is Denzel Washington a good African American Actor, but rather he is a talented performer regardless. I think that most directors could pretty much assign him the responsibilities of any role that was not dependent on color to portray, whether that be from a movie script of stage play since he got his acting start on the dramatic theater stage performing in front of live audiences...and he would do as well a job as any other performer in successfully bringing the character to life enjoyably. He is very entertaining to watch due to his ability to become very animated and encompass each character he portrays.”

“He’s very good (except for that stupid John Q movie!). Always intensely in the moment in scene. He is a very very good actor.”

“One of the greatest actors of all time, so good that he disappears into character making some his deserved notoriety obscure.”

“he’s a cool actor as the acting he did in harry potter and the prisoner of azkaban was awesome
”

“I simply love him. I want my husband to be like Gary”

“he is the biggest movie star ever”

saiqua181

“He is the most versatile actor in the whole universe just after Al Pacino......he’s done some enthralling performances right 4m DDLJ to OSO”

“He is the most versatile actor in the whole universe just after Al Pacino... he’s done some enthralling performances right 4m DDLJ to OSO”

“ok he has won more MTV awards than anyone else in human histroy.....noone has put on one of his films and not laughed!!!!noone”

“This guy is a super funny dude. It’s amazing how well he does and such. I wonder how many times he cracks up when filming scenes for his movies.
Also, why are there so many people, like Johnny Depp (don’t get me wrong, he’s a good actor), that are on this list AND the Top Ten WORST Actors list?”

“You serious? 20.?
This quy is hiLLarious... Bruce ALmiqhty, Dumb and Dumber, Yesman, Ace Ventura...

“Add Edward Nortons name along with Philip Seymour Hoffmans as the two most versitile and excellent Actors of our time. They continue to astonish me with the amount of range they can cover when doing different Characters. I am always anxiously awaiting their next foray into their next "best work". The two things that I find most satisfying about the both of them is that they are both relatively young and their best work is probably in front of them. ”

“And don’t forget Fight Club and American History X. Both performances are excellent.”

“the G.O.A.T.”

“NATURALLY FUNNY AND GREAT ACTOR”

“SOO FUNNY! HE IS MY FAVORITE”

Thomas245

“I like every film he is in”

whatsitsname

“for those who havent seen his films, they are amazing, he is a chameleon, he becomes the character he is playing and is absolutly mesmerising. thats why he is clearly the best actor.
he is best known for AMERICAN BEAUTY, SEVEN, THE USUAL SUSPECTS, SWIMMING WITH SHARKS, SUOERMAN RETURNS. but there are many many more which are so unique.”

“Usual supects was amazing”

godzillaman

“He is pretty underrated. Never the first actor you think of, but he’s been in so many great movies and have had many extremely amazing performances.”

dark2025

“He is really awesome. I think he is one of the best actors ever: Donnie Darko, Jarhead, the good girl, the day after tomorrow (sorry, haven’t seen the whole Brokeback Mountain movie) - he convinces!”

Cranberry20

“The best young actor around today. His acting skills are incredible for his young age.”

“Pursuit of happiness great movie”

“hes great, his calm and gripping acting styles are the best in hollywood. when you watch a morgan freeman film theres no way you could turn it off. ”

“Not only is he hot, but a great actor as well. Have you not seen his movies, Troy, Ocean’s 11, 12, Meet Joe Black, Legends of the Fall. C’mon great actor, & yeah, Al Pacino & Robert De Niro are excellent, but Brad should of been up there too.”

“Brad pitt is agood actor no doubt but i forever know the quote made by my group of friends "RBS with Brrrrrrrrad Peet!

read the book no more dead dogs and ull no wat im talkin about”

supreme

“Best of the current generation!”

“A pleasure in every role he’s had, and worthy of the title "actor".”

“the only thing I have ever seen him in was stalin which is one of my favourite films he was noo longer robert duvall but joseph stalin”

alucard

“another one of the very best ever!!”

luvtoread

“Umm... The Dark Night... THAT movie should put him in top 10. I mean seriously!”

thenorris03

“so low? he’s one great actor, for sure.”

ohright

“he’s beautiful”

De_Sever

“Very dynamic actor! Could play almost anything!”

“The Rock, Con Air, Face Off! All top grade classics. He has had flops, but his hits are big hits! Snake Eyes, Gone in Sixty Seconds, National Treasure, Ghost Rider, Next...”

Freak_Show1

“His movies are just great. I saw the Knowing. It was awesome.”

AliciaCullen

“Best. James. Bond. Ever.”

“Sean should definitely be higher on the list! Not only the Best Bond, he also is a powerful performer! The Untouchables, The Rock, Medicine Man, Finding Forrester just to name a few!”

“The MAN!”

“Despite all that stupid stuff that came out of his mouth, Tom Cruise is an insanely good actor. (Minus Eyes Wide Shut) Everything he puts his heart and soul into is an instant success. Very few actors have that ability.”

“Awesome actor. I saw Valykrie and I think that was his best performance yet.”

BigBoss

“are you people insane?????!!!!! you’re putting Jared Leto and David Duchovny in the top 10 list and leaving out literally the most brilliant actors in the world??? The only person who remotely holds a candle to Daniel Day Lewis is Sean Penn and you all have them both in the mid to late 30s???? I am shocked and apalled by this....
Top 10.....
1. Daniel Day Lewis
2. Sean Penn
3. Phillip Seymour Hoffman
4. Johnny Depp
5. Leonardo Decaprio
6. Jack Nicholson
7. Dustin Hoffman
8. Marlon Brando
9. Robert DeNiro
10. Tom Cruise

yes this is just my rough copy of the greatest actors but seriously people....you put Sean Connery in front of Day Lewis? and Adam Sandler for that matter? Might as well have put Seth Rogen in the top 10. Go watch some movies that actually have something to say in them and you’ll see what I’m talking about.

“Best actor working today in cinema. Put him in the top ten by any means necessary.”

aman28

“Amazing depth and ability”

“He adds humor, suspense, and good looks to any movie that he is in.”

“This man has got to be the new Chuck Norris. After seeing Die Hard 4 that is...”

TKDCats312

“one of my favorites”

MatrixGuy

“...rest his soul.”

“The Priest in The Count of Monte Cristo, Marcus Aurelius in Gladiator, and Dumbledore in Harry Potter... Just some of the incredible roles he’s played. With his death came a great loss to the world of actors...”

heather

“Nobody can play the part of Johnny Cash as good as he did....NOBODY”

“he’s VERY good at what he does. VERY.”

“Oh, I love this actor! He’s got eyes like no-one! He was amazing in "Walk the line".”

funkymonkey

“the world;s greatest actor and the perfectionist in the world they call he is the eka of bollywood the natural actor in the world today
”

“An incredible and amazing actor!The best!”

“Morgan Alling for the win!”

“He looks harmless and mediocre but when you see more movies you will notice that he can’t be replaced.”

Gaspar

“Well obviously he should be in the top 10. Anyone who knows anything about acting just needs to see "Kind Hearts and Coronets", "Bridge on the River Kwai", "The Ladykillers", "Dr. Zhivago", "Oliver Twist" etc. To know that this guy knows how to play his characters to a tee. Only behind Lord Olivier and Brando in my opinion.”

“He is the Michael Jordan of movies.”

Baltimore1993

“He is absolute. Class, diverse and hot. ”

“WOT A GREAT ACTOR!! a joy to watch and is great in every role”

“great actor.”

“Paul Newman at #44. Below Jared Leto and David Duchovney? I’m biased though. He’s my #1.

Just look at his films: The Hustler: (Academy Award Nomination - Best Supporting Actor) The Verdict: (A. A. Nomination-BA) Cool Hand Luke: (A. A. Nomination-BA) Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. The Sting. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof: (A. A. Nomination) Hud: (A. A. Nomination-BA) The Color of Money: (A. A WIN-BA) Road to Perdition: (A. A. Nomination) The Hudsucker Proxy. Slap Shot. Rachel, Rachel (A. A. WIN-Best Movie) Absense of Malice: (A. A. Nomination-BA) Honorary Academy Award 1986.
7 Academy Award Nominations and 1 win.

Forget the awards. He was the ultimate professional actor, who even two years before his passing thought he could always do better. I think of Paul Newman as a guy who had "it. " He could say so much without saying a word. A great, great actor. P. N. RIP.”

corebare32

“He’s not only just a great actor, he is a great human being. He was always giving to charities and he made one himself. He was self-less and intelligent. x)

He had the most gorgeous blue eyes and he played some classic roles. Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, Cool Hand Luke, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid! I can’t believe he is under Channing effin’ Tatum. Just because he’s hot doesn’t mean he’s a good actor. Frankly, I think he is terrible. Paul Newman, all the way!”

NicePants

“A little surprised that is far down the list... but Christian Bale is worth a lot because of his acting...”

Joicerojo

“He is the always the perfect man for the roles he gets. When he acts people say, "Wow I’m glad we picked him. " Cristian Bale always delivers in a "5 star" manner. He’s willing to train for his roles and he often upstages his other costars. Christian is definitely the most talented actor of this generation.”

“James Spader creates such depth, intimacy, such reality, in every role. He creates characters you’ve never seen portrayed, before. His face, his presence, - convey what can’t be written. He amazes me.”

“He can act with his facial expressions and the look in his eyes better than most can with their words.”

“better than Johnny Depp....”

“Much more gorgeous than Johnny Depp.”

“So talented and always improving”

“hes frickin hawtt!!! nuff said.”

“now there was an excellent actor.. he had it all; he was beautiful, he could sing, and oh boy could he act.. if only he’d stayed away from the drugs.”

“Absolutely adorable and unforgettable actor”

dandeli0n

“raw talent... but took acting from experience to dangerous extremes. I believe that the character he played in ’My own private idaho’ contributed to him getting into the drug scene. No offense to Joaq, but River deserves to be higher on this list than him. River was the one who could really act. I believe that he was a better actor than even Johnny Depp, an actor i hold in extremely high regard. River was the best actor of all time. Incredible in all of his work but my favourites are Stand by Me and Running on empty. You will always be missed river. You were real, a little too naive, and you have inspired the world.”

“amazing actor!!!....imposible to miss him”

robertop699

“Fantastic in everything! He is an extremely talented actor! He can make characters in completely fictional stories seem realistic and believable, he’s that good of an actor! Dark Angel was a SPECTACULAR show and Jensen made it even better. He was so great in his first appearance on the series that they brought him back as a regular. That shows how good he is!!”

“jensen is really talented he can really act he’s just sooooooo good at acting and i see that it’s a huge loss for movies viewers not to see him as a movie star on the big screen beacause he just deserves more than a tv show it’s a hit but he can do more he can give more and i hope that happense soon.he’s a real good actor.”

“He is the best "Indy" movie actor”

Manoj0254

“With more than 300 movies in which he played the lead role in more than the helft of these 300 movies, Amitabh Bachchan is probably the best actor ever after Jack Nicholson and Shahrukh Khan.
He can play everything: funny roles, dramatic, psycho,...
Just watch Jhoom Barabar Jhoom what he does at 62 years old AMAZING”

“He is the living legend of Indian cinema. From the age of six each fim of his proved him as a great actor. He got his first national award at the age of six for the film "kalathur kannamma". His perfection, skills, uniqueness will find no match from any actor. Only actor in india to receive four national awards, 18 filmfare awards, two best actor asian awards, also awarded the fourth highest recognition given to Indian civilians-"The Padmashri". Adding to these, seven movies of this living legend has been sent as India’s official entry to the oscars.

“Handsome sophisticated and extremely sexy”

“Always exactly on target with his performance not to mention the caliber of the films he chose to be in. Great films like To Kill A Mockingbird and Gentleman’s Agreement would not have been nearly as important without him.”

“The Greatest martial artist.”

barish

“He was not only a good actor he inspired a whole race to start following their dreams. He was also an amazing martial artist.”

fimbulwinter

“Acting since he was six years old and believable in every scene. He did not want to be known as a "Kung Fu superstar" but wanted to be remembered as an actor. OK he is the greatest film fighter and was the greatet real life fighter but all his charactors are believable in terms of body language and speech delivery. Just think about it the next time you watch a Bruce Lee film and compare how much you believe the charactors he plays to the charactors in this list”

Ben Hur, El Cid, the original Planet of the Apes movies, and a whole list of other wonderful and critically acclaimed performances..how can HE not be on this list..I said it before...what a JOKE!!!”
