Who do you think? I'm sure this will just turn into a favorites thread, or who you think is hawt. But really try to come up with some actors/actresses who are truly great at what they do. And...go. Nicolas Cage.I'm going to have to say Daniel Day-Lewis. He's just solid in every role I've ever seen him in. And he's never the same character. He just adds these nuances that make each performance different from the next. My opinion may be a little biased 'cause he's my favorite actor as well, so maybe a second opinion is in order.

I have a few.
Harrision Ford Sean Connery
Most movies that I have seen, they are pretty good. My favorite movie series with HF is Indiana Jones, not Star Wars (I do like Star Wars though). I haven't seen a Sean Connery Bond movie but I enjoyed other movies like The Hunt for the Red October, Finding Forrester, and The League of Extraordinary Gentleman.
Alec Baldwin looked good in The Hunt for the Red October. Then he got fat.

I never ended up watching it but how was Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? I can only remember people saying bad things about it, but I just attributed that to them being haters. Haha, Alec Baldwin just had a little more to love is all. Didn't he recently lose that weight? Oh and I have a couple to add: Matt Damon and Mos Def.

I think some people didn't like the alien part.
Damon is good haven't heard of the other.

He was Ford Prefect in the Hitchhiker's Guide movie and most recently in the show Dexter. He hasn't done a lot of work but I think if he ever stopped rapping he could fall back on acting. He's more of a personal favorite (as is Damon) rather than a "greatest actor" choice.
So going back to greatest actors, I will add Forest Whitaker. He was very believable as the temperamental dictator in The Last King of Scotland. And Christian Bale, less for the Batman movies and more for his work in stuff like The Fighter or Public Enemies.

One of my favorites would have to be Tom Hanks. Come on, Catch me if you can, The Green Mile, Forrest Gump and TOY STORY? I could watch those movies over and over again and I would be forever entertained. Except for Toy Story 2, Ive recently developed a hatred towards Toy Story 2.

I loved Tom Hanks in Big, and later in The Terminal. And of course I love Toy Story too. Good pick. But how come you don't like Toy Story 2?

Well.
On my 10 hour flight to Nadi, Fiji from LA , we had these little TV's built into the back of the headrest of the seat infront of us. Unfortunately, the only movie that would actually work for me was Toy Story 2. So I thought "Oh well! At least you like this movie!". Well its good until you realize you left your book at LAX, your iPod, phone and laptop are all out of battery and the only thing you can do is watch Toy Story 2. I think I know it word for word now...

Haha damn, that is awesome awful. Maybe you can do a one man production of Toy Story 2 on Broadway. I bet you'd be a hit.

I cant imagine singing "You've got a friend in me" to yourself would be all that exciting. "Oh Yooou've got a frieeend in meeee"

You're only performing alone, you'd be singing to a sold out audience. And I'd be there with Woody's face painted on my chest saying things like "Toy Story 2 up in diz muddafukka!"

Ahem. Getting back to the thread. I wanna add Tilda Swinton. She's a pretty diverse actress.
