My Souce: OhNoTheyDidnt

[nobody]

good list but would put sean penn on a higher place. or would teriple the 5th place and put him there. i still cant forget him in the mistic river. when he found his daughter dead. his screams and his acts... ahhhhhh.

[Voodoo Child]

That was a pretty good list but my only query is Kate Winslet.

[miss_perfect]

I'm sorry, but Tom Hanks isn't THAT great IMO. Nor was Frank Sinatra (though he was a great entertainer). Oh, and no Kevin Spacey? That's just wrong.

18. Edward Norton
19. Sean Penn
36. Gary Oldman

All deserve higher ranks. Just MO.

[Grimmlok]

Gary Oldman comes after BRad Pitt? Are they on crack?

I always loved Madelaine Stowe... and Mary McDonnell is fucking AWESOME, and beats any one of those women

[Grimmlok]

Yeah, but Morgan Freeman always plays Morgan Freeman character #1, the sage old black mentor.

That's it. Think of any movie he's been in. It's an old black mentor character.

OMG! LOL, so true! he does always play the same character. he doesn't have much variety, does he?

[A*O]

What - no Russell Crowe? He'd deffo vote himself #1

[Laurent]

I cannot believe Brad Pitt is on this list at all. His whispers and pouts his way through every movie.

[PrettyGirl]

Oh my God, without a doubt, Mexican actor, ANTHONY QUINN!! He brought to life, 'Zorba The Great', 'The Guns of Navarone', 'Viva Zapata!'....the man is my idol. I can't believe he's not on this list. He won 2 Academy Awards in his lifetime.

Glad that Johnny Depp, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Deniro, Ed Norton, Sean Penn (he should've been higher on that list) & Brad Pitt made it.

hmm not many females though, am glad again

Ew, I know. My BF made me watch Seven Years in Tibet the other day and listening to Brad Pitt attempt an Austrian accent made me want to put a gun to my head.

Kate winslett was a surprise, not that i have anything against the lass. So was Brad Pitt. Great to see that nearly half were Brits too!!

Absolutely! And Jack Warden, very underrated but always giving solid performances.

No kidding! As long as you can see the "actor's" own thoughts in his eyes, instead of his character's thoughts, he isn't an actor to me!

[olivia720]

I think Tim Robbins should be on there. And Christopher Walkin? Meh.
