Finally Some one Got Johnny depp ranked near Top 10. I dont why people
Keep Academy Awards a standard to measure the versatility and devotion of
an actor. Clint eastwood is a multi talented person and one can not forget his
contribution to cinema Mystic River, Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby and
Gran Torino. Amazing list. Thumbs Up.

Sorry let me get this straight, Arnold Swzrzenegger is not just voted an actor
but a great one and ranked higher than Alec Guiness?!?! Seriously this is a
joke right?
BTW, Clint Eastward CANNOT act. He has one level grimace and one vocal
tone grimace. He annunciates every line of dialogue ultra slow and over
pronounciates every vowel like a stroke victim in speech therapy.

I mean Charlie Chaplin has been a kinda torch-bearer for every actor around
the world. There might hardly be any country or culture where Charlie Chaplin
is not revered with heartfelt affection. Such an actor should be ranked
somewhere among top 10 at least, if not on the top.

March 14, 2014 at 3:16 AM #

Charles Laughton was one of the finest character actor ever. But people
only remember the leading man and woman types. Because thats what
Hollywood tells them too. When most of them couldnt act their way out
of a paper bag. Few compare to this legendary actor!
Yet. I see they also left off Spencer Tracy too!!! .and nobody was more
natural playing a whole host of roles that Spencer Tracy. Both were never
cast as leading men in the Hollywood sense of what a leading man was
supposed to be. Tall dark and handsome!
When most of the greatest Hollywood actors have never fit the role!

outstanding; not to mention the sacrifice he went through to embody his
character. Oh, and dont forget American Psycho.

James Garner might be an actor who is overlooked. He may not have a body

the Maverick series, the episodes with him as Bret are much better that the

Christian Bale should not be on the list, he cannot even pronounce the letter
S without hissing and gives the same performance every film. His Batman

Laurence Olivier is not on the list but Arnie, Sly and Clint are? This is beyond

sorry but robert deniro is great but playing virtually the same charecter in
80% of all your movies does not put you ahead of daniel or jack. Jack has the
most oscar noms of all time for male actors and is just an abosolute joy to
watch time and again. And Daniel is hands down the greatest actor of all time,
i barely recognize him from movie to movie because he is so good at
convincing people he is the charecter he is portraying. Brando is classic but
he had his chance and he did great but i honestly think jack and daniel come
before him. I mean don juan cmon.

Great list. I dont think al Pacino should be above DeNiro and Nicholson

too. And for the record, its Willem DaFoe not William DaFoe

well. Mystic River and Shawshank Redemption,classics.

Denzel Washington is not high enough on the list. Maybe one of the greatest
actors of all time. He can play any part and dominate it. I like just about all
the actors on this list but he is a leader of men at his profession. I am
younger so actors only in black and white i dont know. But since the early
90s Im not sure Ive seen a better overall actor. Will play any part and own
it. Obviously there are guys like Daniel Day Lewis who are amazing actors but
hand pick and only play parts they will own. There are other actors that will
own the same part over and over again. Jason Statham Is awesome but plays
converted by Web2PDFConvert.com

the same part in every movie. A villain is a villain a hero is a hero. Very few
actors can play both. Denzel can play both and everything in between. I would
easily put him in my top 5 of all time even though none of his movies are
probably near my top 10 ever. He is just an incredible actor that knows how
to perform. There is a fine line between good and great and he walks that
barefoot.

Pretty good list overall, but I think Pacino should be 4th, with Brando,Deniro,

beyond belief in One flew over the cuckoos nest, and Brandos talent is
undeniable! Edward G Robinson simply cant be left off a top 25 list never
mind a top 100 list! Laurence Olivier is a bad omission too! I would make a
few other changes but list is not bad.
