you people do realize all these actors are used by the elite to control you and shape every thought in your mind, so you wont critically think for yourself and be able to bend the universe to have your desires and innermost thoughts come to fruition.......

[Meso_z]

Bale, deniro, alpacino too many to mention..'top 5' would be better,just to fit two more names

Another crazy retard.   you know that most people can separate fantasy from real life.
And most grown ass men living in capitalist societies can tell when a product is being sold to them.

Daniel Day Lewis's performance in There Will Be Blood is one of my favorites.

[doriancutlerman]

This is in no particular order.

1. Ian Mcshane
2. Daniel Day lewis
3. Johnny Depp

What say you Getbig?

They are all outstanding.  McShane's Al Swearengen was one of THE best characters on television, ever.

I used to not think all that much of Depp, but his performance in "Public Enemies" ... for my money, his John Dillinger was one of THE coolest motherfuckers ever seen onscreen.  The way in which he seduced Marion Cotillard's character was a particularly good monologue.  Even the actress had to be wet after that scene

But there's truly no way to score a top three actors of all time.  You've got Brandon, Nicholson (even though he is usually just "Jack"), Patrick Stewart -- heck, even Brian Cranston has stood up as a truly epic actor.  

Best actresses would be a harder thing for me to nail down because I'm straight and I have a hard time separating good looks and acting ability.  But I can say that gorgeous South African chick -- err ... damn.  What's her name?  AH!  Cherlize Theron! -- is a fine, fine actress.  For comedies, I honestly think Jenny Aniston kicks ass (and yes, again, I'm biased since I've had a crush on her since "Leprechaun" ).  Watch "The Break-Up" and tell me she isn't funny as hell in that -- Vince Vaughn too, for that matter.

As I said, there are really too many actors and too many different genres to pick a top three with which a majority of moviephiles might agree upon.  Bruce Willis is great, Morgan Freeman is amazing, Denzel Washington is the man, etc., etc.  James Earl Jones, Martin "Cpt. Williard" Sheen, Powers Booth ... we'd have better luck hunting snipe than agreeing on the best actors and actresses, methinks

[Voice of Doom]

Benicio Del Toro is extremely underrated.

Also, I want to add Lee Marvin.

I read that Depp doesn't believe in having regular showers.

Val kilmer is underrated

indeed. apparently he was hard to deal with though. a bit of a cunt by all accounts

[Jon Harridan]

Also, I want to add Lee Marvin.

John Wayne, Eli Wallach, Anthony Quinn, Ernest Borgnine, Richard Burton, Gregory Peck, Robert Mitchum, James Stewart, Gary Cooper, Jack Palance, Lee Van Cleef and Clint Eastwood should all be up there too. Ditto for Sidney Poitier, Sir Michael Caine, Donald Sutherland, James Caan, Robin Williams and Danny DeVito.

[BILL ANVIL]

kilmer was great in 'Felon.'
