Robert Downey, Jr.!!! I can watch him in anything. The guy is brilliant.
@martinez00anita: He is awesome, too!
My husband…he nailed the “bait and switch” scene. :)
My favorite actor is the man who plays as Zack in the soap opera “All My Children”, don’t make fun of me because I watch a little of my wife’s soap, its just kinda catchy. I think he’s pretty good because he plays as what he is in real life, and he isn’t over-reactant. Calm, and always learning something from the way he acts.
I’d go with James Stewart or Alec Guinness.
Robert Deniro or Daniel Day Lewis. Brad Pitt was great in Jesse James and Fight Club. Ed Norton is also really good. “All time” is too difficult to name.
Modern Day: Robert Downey Jr.
Past: Gary Cooper
Paulie Shore, hands down.
Haha, I love Pauly Shore! Is that wrong? Lol….
Samuel L. Jackson
The movie can suck but he can still pull it through.
Examples:
Snakes on a Plane
Formula 51
I loved James Earl Jones—especially in The Great White Hope.
I think we ask a lot less of our actors now than we used to.
Yes, delirium. Does anyone else agree that now is more drama rather than emotions/reactions?
Brad Pitt.
I used to hate him, because all my friends were in love with him, and then I saw him in 12 monkeys.
Been uphill since then.
Is everyone else on here a total idiot?
Tom Hanks. No question.
Two words for you all: Cast Away.
How about ‘The Terminal’?
I prefer those two words.
Tom Hanks = Forrest Gump.
I am guessing none of you guys saw a Streetcar Named Desire
@jstring, so hostile. spread the brad pitt love.
tom hanks also = the guy from Big.
Denzel…, Tom Hanks & Samuel L. Jackson. Love them!
Humphrey Bogart, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino and Christopher Walken come to mind – and Brad Pitt won brownie points for his accent in Snatch, that was just uncanny!
Jimmy Stewart, and Henry Fonda. Two great actors.
I second the motion – Tom Hanks rules. It doesn’t get much better (unless you’re adding Denzel or Samuel L Jackson, like TheHaight said). :) These guys rock.
But, I have to give it to my fav femme – Charlize Theron. She’s one heck of a character actor. Anyone seen Monster? You forget it’s even her.
Anyone armed with a NetFlix account and AFI’s top 100 movies list has the power to school themselves about true greatness.
Paul Reubens. “Im sorry i took the money. IM NOT SORRY!”
No no no no no no no. The greatest actor of all time is TIM ROTH>
Where is Mrs Dr Frank N Furter? I was sure she would say Tim Curry.
Tim Curry DUH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And yes Marina you are TOTALLY right. I just got a henna tattoo of the boss heart thing in the RHPS that Dr Frank N Furter wears!
why tom haks is the greatest of all time
Tom ‘the utimate’ Hanks :-)
