10thumbs Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Carl, I'll give my vote to 1, 2 and 9, any order.My opinion is, the others are just character types only, without depth.Steve was super cool, but had lesser variances in type.Maybe 9 as the greatest actor, then the other two to be more exact.

JollySipper Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Will Ferrell - He's as good in serious roles as he is in comedyJim Carey - for pretty much the same reasonJohnny Depp - He's a big Tim Burton fan, as am IRobert Deniro - Always one bad dude, no matter which side of the law he's onBurgess Meredith - best Twilight Zone actor ever, maybe the best actor ever period..........

Snake45 Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 McQueen and Eastwood would top my list.There are a couple character actors I really enjoy, because often they look and act so differently from role to role that I don't recognize them until I see their name in the credits. A couple such I can think of offhand include Stephen Lange and Vincent D'nonfrio (or however you spell it).The guy who played/plays Mike on Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul is great. He's been around for years, playing both drama and comedy, but no one knew his name until recently. (As you can see, I've forgotten it too--oh wait, it's Jonathan Banks, just remembered).I also really enjoy Eric Stonestreet. He plays Cam on Modern Family, one of the best characters on TV. He plays one of the gay guys to absolute perfection, but in real life he's stone-straight. I love that show--IMHO the best sitcom of all time.

Snake45 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Has anyone mentioned Samuel L. Jackson yet? I've liked almost everything I've seen him in.Tommy Lee Jones and Harrison Ford can always be counted on to turn in great performances, too. Come to think of it, so can Val Kilmer.

Pete J. Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Ok, this is a tough one. By actors are you talking about someone who could play a wide diversity of characters? Many great actors got type cast and could only play one type of character and this to me meant they may have starred in numerous great movies but always played the same type of character. One of my favorites is Humphry Bogart. Great actor for the tough guy with a heart of gold character but that was about the depth of his ability. Same with Clint Eastwood. Same type of character. If we are talking about someone who has played a diverse group of characters here is my list.1. Dustin Hoffman – From the Graduate to Little Big man to Tootsie to Rainman about as diverse an actor as you could want.2. Robin Williams – Dead poet’s society, Mrs. Doubtfire, Mork and Mindy. An incredible comedic genius.3. Sidney Greenstreet – the perfect foil to create diversity for Bogart4. Henry Fonda – Wow, what more could I say. From Grapes of Wrath to On Golden Pond to Mister Roberts to the many westerns.5. Will Smith- Great actor in the middle of his career. Comedy to drama. Got a great one going on with the promise of more to come.6. James Earl Jones - I really doesn’t get much better than Field of Dreams to Darth Vader. That distinctive voice is a wonder to behold.7. Kathrine Hepburn - Oh this is another great actor with a broad range and long career. The perfect person to play opposite both Henry Fonda (On Golden Pond) and Humphrey Bogart (African Queen). Played everything from the sexy vamp to the tough old lady. Nice broad range of acting abilities. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Petetrucker07 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 (edited) Come to think of it, so can Val Kilmer. IMO, he wasn't very good as Batman/Bruce Wayne. He wasn't the worst, but far from the best. I know, it's one of only a few rolls he didn't really fit.

IMO, he wasn't very good as Batman/Bruce Wayne. He wasn't the worst, but far from the best. I know, it's one of only a few rolls he didn't really fit. Honestly Val Kilmer is best as a supporting actor. Like as Doc Holiday in Wyatt Earp with Kurt Russell and Val was Good in Heat with Robert Deniro if you have not seen Heat watch it a loaded cast and great movie. I can't remember Val as Batman real good but was not bad as i remember. Snake I do like Samuel L Jackson in some movies like A Time to Kill and Lake View Terrace also Pulp Fiction. I saw The Hateful Eight with my brother and he maid the move. Tommy Lee Jones good actor. I did forget to put Harrison Ford Down he is one of my favorite actors.
