Your top three Male actors ever

The King of Moo · 10-11-2011 03:43PM

Paul Newman

Robert De Niro

Gene Hackman

EDIT:

(Honourable mentions, leaving out some obvious greats, not because I don't think they're great, but because they've got plenty of recognition here already)

Jack Lemmon
Walter Matthau (particularly in Charley Varrick, which reminds me of...)
Joe Don Baker
John Hurt
Gary Oldman
Boris Karloff (mainly for his performance as Frankenstein's creature)
James Cagney (for sheer charisma)
Michael Caine
John Cazale
Clint Eastwood
Eli Wallach

In no particular order I would pick these, because even if the film is crap, I'll still enjoy seeing them on screen..

Paul Newman
Michael Caine
Sean Connery

Brad Pitt would get an honourable mention (a very under rated actor) & Steve McQueen and John Wayne would be top five (top 3 is too small a range!).

i hope you're joking - brad pitt is sh1te

He deserves a mention for 'Floyd' in True Romance alone. Also very good in 'Thelma & Louise', 'A River runs though it' and 'kalifornia'. Not a fan of his more recent stuff admittedly.

St.Spodo · 10-11-2011 03:58PM

De Niro.
Clint Eastwood.
Daniel Day-Lewis.

Edward Norton and Joseph Gordon Levitt are two among my favourite actors worth a mention.

Notorious97 · 10-11-2011 03:59PM

Not really any particular order

Denzel Washington
John Wayne – I was raised on these films!
Liam Neeson / Mel Gibson

LordSutch · 10-11-2011 04:00PM

Sir John Guilgood.
Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Jeremy Irons.
Michael Caine.
John Hurt.

Batigol · 10-11-2011 04:03PM

Tommy Wiseau x3

zeusnero · 10-11-2011 04:17PM

These guys would make in into the top 10

Liam Neeson
Anthony Hopkins
Johnny Depp
Gene Hackman
Christopher Walken
Sean Connery
Matt Damon
Morgan Freeman
Michael Caine

Top 3 is really difficult - going to go with

- Morgan Freeman (has done so much, usually of high quality)
- Sean Connery (the name's Bond...)
- Matt Damon (not everyone's cup of tea but he's done some really excellent films and if his name is in the trailer, I'm likely to want to watch it)

Al Pacino
Daniel Day Lewis
Sir Ben Kingsley

would have to say jack lemmon, marlon brando & martin sheen

floutingmaxims · 10-11-2011 04:29PM

I quite like

Christian Bale (something about him I just LOVE)
Michael C Hall
Johnny Depp
Liam Neeson

and Johnathan Rhys Meyers ( just for his accent and overall sexiness)

gent9662 · 10-11-2011 04:32PM

1. John Hurt
2. Robert DeNiro
3. Clint Eastwood

bijapos · 10-11-2011 04:32PM

Steve McQueen
Stan Laurel
John Cazale

Honourable mentions to:

Robert De Niro
Mick Lally (great stage actor)
Groucho Marx
Daniel Day Lewis
Morgan Freeman
Harvey Keitel

Btw Cazale appeared in 5 films, all of which were nominated for Best Film Oscar and married Maryl Streep before he sadly died of cancer at 42. Very underrated.
