WizardHawk Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Anthony Hopkins - His portrayal of Hannibal Lecter was flat out amazing. Can't mention all time actors without dropping Al Pacino's name in mix. Feel Benicio Del Toro is vastly underrated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bednarik60 Posted August 20, 2017 Share Posted August 20, 2017 Its Robert Deniro. He could do it all, hes the star in 6 of the GOAT movies of all time. Godfather, Goodfellas, Casino, Heat, Raging Bull, Dear Hunter. He just had the most range in his prime, he could play anything. He is funny as hell to when he wants to be, Kings of Comedy to Meet the Faulkers. I never saw Bobby D in his prime out shined on camera, he was just the the best-most believable always. Honorable mentions: Leonardo DiCraprio, Jack Nicholson, Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, Edward Norton, Al Pacino. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucketheadsdad Posted August 21, 2017 Share Posted August 21, 2017 Absolutely loved Phillip Seymour Hoffman's work as well. Damn shame that he's gone. He played so many great "older" characters, it is sad to think that we won't get to see him portray roles that would have been closer to his age, as he grew older. Gust Avrakados in "Charlie Wilson's War" is one of the funniest "supposed to be serious" characters that I've seen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His death hit me harder than probably any other celebrity in my lifetime except maybe Heath Ledger. Best actor ever probably not, but definitely the most underrated. Not the GOAT actor, but his acting skills are immensely underrated, he had phenomenal range, I think calling him one of the best entertainers of his era would be accurate.

MWil23 Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 My favorite is absolutely Clint Eastwood (and he's an awesome director too), but best, I'd go Tom Hanks. He's a guy who is extremely versatile and did comedy, action/war, and drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't call him versatile in roles when the closest he's ever been to a villain has been an angry and bitter baseball coach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 Meryl Streep is probably who I would give my vote to. She is fantastic beyond words and most people know this, so I don't need to say much more about her. Someone who I really enjoy in every role I see him in is Michael K. Williams. Obviously most people aren't going to think of him when someone ask the question, 'who is the best actor?', but he is so fantastic. I would think he is best known for playing Omar from the hit television series "The Wire" and that is my personal favorite Michael K. Williams role. Another note worthy performance from Williams is his character Chalky White from the television series "Boardwalk Empire". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mox Posted August 22, 2017 Share Posted August 22, 2017 A great character actor that hasn't been mentioned is Jake Gyllenhaal. The last few years he's been outstanding in a bunch of different roles, particularly in Nightcrawler. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was great in Nightcrawler and also in that movie where he played two version of the same guy - Enemy. And Nocturnal Animals is another good one by him.

He was really entertaining in Demolition too. He's been fantastic since at least 2014. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
