    Pacino
    De Niro
    Brando
    Day Lewis

    In my opinion these are the absolute great actors of cinema. Then there's my personal favourites

    Seth rogen
    Stephen Fry
    Clint Eastwood
    Lee van cleef
    Danny trejo

    Perhaps not the most talented in ability and versatility but I will catch if it involves any of these.

    Robert De Niro was my absolute hero in my youth. Yes, I know it's a tragedy that he does absolute shite now, but that's an incredible body of work from Mean Streets to Raging Bull.

    Jack Nicholson. Incredible in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, but my favourite Nicholson performance would be The Last Detail.

    Warren Oates. One of the great unsung, and, if you will, cult actors of the Seventies. Favourite Oates performances: Two-Lane Blacktop, Cockfighter, Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia, The Hired Hand, The Shooting, and a supporting turn in The Wild Bunch.

    Like daveaddick, I find it impossible to pick one, so many great ones mentioned already, but I would like to add Toby Jones to the list.

    I love these threads. Have to agree hawksmoor about Warren Oates I would also give a shout for Jeff Bridges (never bad) and one of my all time favourites Robert Mitchum.

    Jack Nicholson, Di Caprio, Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, and our very own David Jason (not made it big in films but always plays very good characters).

    Yes actresses. Mine would be Jessica Stevensson for her spaced performance and royal family bit part.

    There are actors who always more or less play the same role (Clint Eastwood, Robery Morley for example), and their are actors who can act. Day Lewis, and Dustin Hoffman are good examples of proper actors, and although I think he is a bit of a git Ben Kingsley.
    The criteria for actors, is first they should be actors rather than slightly different examples of the same person.
    BTW
    Check out Hugh Grant in 'An Awfully Big Adventure.
    I rate Timothy Spall, and a whole host of other Brits (e.g. Postlethwaite) especially those often found in Mike Leigh films.
