    Re: Vote! Best Actor?

    In no particular order


    Morgan Freeman - I don't think this needs any explanation. The man is a god of cinema.

    Robert Downey Jr. - His work in Iron Man and Avengers is fantastic.

    Mark Wahlberg - 'Shooter' is a great lad's film. Guns, explosions, action, the lot. He's funny in 'The Departed' too.

    Denzel Washington - My favourite actor. Plays the good guy and the bad guy really well. Was execellent in 'Training Day' and also in 'The Book of Eli'

    Brad Pitt - Seen him in something recently. Can't remember what but it was good.

    Liam Neeson - Suits the old tough guy persona really well.

    Russell Crowe - Ever seen 'The Next Three Days' ? No? Well go watch it. He's really enjoyable to watch in 'American Gangster' (which starts Washington and he's cracking in that too).

    Matt Damon - I quite liked him in 'The Adjustment Bureau' and in 'The Departed'.

    Nicolas Cage - Not many folk are too keen on him but I thoroughly enjoyed 'Gone In 60 Seconds' and 'Con Air'.

    Harrison Ford - Enjoyed watching 'Air Force One' and 'Clear and Present Danger'. Not sure if it's him who's in 'The Sentinel' but there's something else he's in recently I really liked.

    Gerard Butler - An unfamiliar role as the bad guy in 'Law Abiding Citizen' but pulled it off really well.

    Morgan Freeman is my favorite actor, but I think Di Caprio is one of the best right now too.

    Ryan Gosling

    Leonardo DiCaprio
    Jeff Bridges
    Tim Robbins
    George Clooney

    Re: Vote! Best Actor?

    So many good actors to choose from... but Morgan Freeman, Adam Sandler, Denzel Washington, Samuel L. Jackson, Jim Carrey, DiCaprio, George Clooney, Nicolas Cage, Tom Hanks, Johnny Depp, Will Smith, David Spade, and Clint Eastwood are definitely in my top list of Actors

    If I had to pick 3 favorites though, I'd probably go with 1. Adam Sandler, 2. Morgan Freeman and 3. Clint Eastwood.

    Re: Vote! Best Actor?

    Morgan Freeman - Always plays the god in movies or some sort of intelligent guy , and it really suits him. (see "god for a day" , "the dark knight" , and many more)

    Mark Wahlberg - He's a really good actor , he plays the hero most of the time , but he's good at it. I only seen him in Action movies though.

    Leonardo DiCaprio - A master actor. He can play anything , he can be anything , saw many movies with him and I really enjoyed all of them.

    Liam Neeson - He's good in action movies. I can't imagine him in romantic movies though nor comedy.

    Heath Ledger - Never seen him in any movies but "The Dark Knight" , but I doubt anyone will ever act the same way as he did in the role of "The Joker".

    John Travolta - He's good at playing the bad guy. Drug dealer , mafia , whatever goes on the evil side , he's good at it.

    Robert De Niro - He's good at playing the bad guys. Drug dealer , mafia , whatever goes on the evil side , he's good at it

    Jim Carrey - He's the funny guy in all movies , and he does it well. So far I couldn't complain on any comedy in which he had the main role.

    Anthony Hopkins - I only seen the Hannibal movies and the exorcist with him , but he was an exceptional actor in all of them.

    Colin Farrel - I only seen a few movies with him , including a new vampire movie , i forgot its name , but he was an awesome vampire i know that much.

    Tom Cruise - I don't like him , and I don't know why , but hes a good actor too. Maybe I don't like him cause I saw him romantic movies? Idk.

    Christian Bale - He's good too , especially in mystery / thriller movies.

    So many good actors really. Depends on the roles they are in to. For Drama/Inspirational, i like Will Smith (Pursuit of Happiness, 7 Pounds). I like Leonardo for adventure and love story. But my all time favorite actor is Tom Hanks.

    Will Smith ....as Vision stated he is a really good actor(Pursuit of Happiness, 7 Pounds, Hancock, I'm Legend, Hitch, and all his movies ...)
    Nicolas Cage .... I enjoy his movies a little too much.... specially Kick-Ass(which is not a parody/comedy).
    George Clooney .... OCEANS ...anyone?


    P.S. Where is ARNIE? :))))

    Morgan Freeman, he's GOD, Man! Kidding aside,

    Will Smith - I've seen many many of his movies, and I'd say he's pretty good.
    Brad Pitt - Also seen, some of his movies. The one that I loved most of his movies is, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

    Really? Adam Sandler? Sure he makes decent movies, but he's far from excellent. :S

    His glory days are gone. Billy Madison, Little Nicky, Happy Gilmore. Those were his best movies. Now he's kind of a sell out. Lol

    I'd have to go for Richard Gere, he's not on the list tho. And why? Simply cause every movie he plays in he acts out good all the time.

    I like Mel Gibson alot too tho

    In my eyes he's one of the best. His talent, experience and previous movies he's put out are more than enough for me. Not to mention the Box Chart numbers that topped in multiple movies more than numerous others.

    Plus, in his 'Golden Days' if you will, he was one hilarious mother f'er :D (and still is)
    So idk he'll always be one of the best to me just for his older movies alone,
    and will always have Talent+Experience exceeding many many other Actors.

    I'd have to agree. Click was probably his last good movie. All his old Happy Madison movies were hilarious, the new ones are too fake and seem to be for the kiddies.

    Or maybe it's just us growing up, and not finding the same old things just as hilarious. I re-watched Grown-Ups recently, and felt it was kind of forced humor =\.

    He's actually a good actor if he has to be, he can play many roles, sure most of him movies are comedies but he plays good roles.

    He's a very excellent actor.

    1) Morgan Freeman
    3) Robert Downey Jr.
    4) Jack Black
    9) Tom Hanks
    12) Robin Williams
    13) Johnny Depp
    14) Leonardo DiCaprio
    20) Clint Eastwood
    22) Russell Crowe
    23) Brad Pitt
    24) Sean Connery
    25) Matt Damon
    26) Nicolas Cage
    27) Mel Gibson
    28) Tom Cruise
    29) Colin Farrell
    30) Keanu Reeves
    32) Heath Ledger
    33) Jude Law
    34) Will Smith
    35) John Travolta
    37) Jim Carrey
    38) Bruce Willis
    39) Sylvester Stalone
    40) Samuel L. Jackson
    42) Ben Affleck
    44) George Clooney
    45) Jamie Foxx - gonna be honest here. I just saw two forum users instead of an actor...
    46) Ben Stiller
    47) Eddie Murphy
    48) Orlando Bloom


    From the list these are the ones that I think are brilliant (tbh the others I didnt really know, I suck I know) But if I had to bring it down to the top 3 mine would be:

    Clint Eastwood
    Tom Hanks
    Will Smith

    My reasons:

    Eastwood because of the western movies like the good the bad and the ugly ect. It is just so full of awesome, and he is just so full of awesome. Some things that he has said are just win too:

    If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.
    This film cost $31 million. With that kind of money I could have invaded some country.

    So goddam true!

    Hanks has been in most of the films I watched as I grew up. 6th sence, forest gump, saving private ryan, all of which he managed to make me believe it was him and not just an actor. I am always at the edge of my seat or emotions with his films, and it takes something special to be able to do that to people.

    Will Smith. Well comeon, he started as the fresh prince, a program I certainly grew up watching all the time, still do now. An actor doing a sitcom for the laughs, then turned into an actor who could move you in ways which you didnt think he was able to do! MIB, I robot, the persuit of happyness, hitch, i am legend. All these films can speak for themselves.

    You're so right, It's really hard to take a actor serious when he did shows/movies like that, but with him I totally forget that and only see him play the role he's doing at that time cause he's really good at it, specially emotional scene's.
