    Best actor ever!

    Given genre and all other considerations, name someone else more appealing? e.g Witness, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Jack Ryan, Fugitive ... anyone else out there?

    I think his chin could even rival Ben Affleck as Batman .... not the alter ego Bruce Wayne obviously given the crystal skull episode!

    Best actor ever... Denzil Washington.

    Best actor ever? Might be exaggerating slightly there. He's good and starred in some great movies though. Pretty good in the mosquito coast.

    Denzel is good, very good even and hard to argue against .. on a par I reckon given the volume of work .... anyone else out there?

    Mikey Graham, his career defining performance in Fatal Deviation revolutionised the way we think about acting. The actor Daniel Day Lewis wish he had become.

    i thought mikey graham was a boyzone member so might need to brush up on the mainstream!!!????

    Well, if you're going to bring their personal lives into it, Harrison Ford farts in bed.

    Daniel Day Lewis.

    I love Clint, but i wouldn't call him a great actor. He plays the badass with a heart to a tee he owns that character. He wouldn't be in the same league as Paul Newman, now there was an actor.

    I didn't realise Fr. Clint Power was an actor.

    Tom Hanks

    Box office gold


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,401 ✭✭✭Royal Irish


    The three best performances in lead male roles in my opinion would be Daniel Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood, Gene Hackman in The French Connection II, and Heath Ledger as the Joker.

    Chevy Chase, if you only count two of his films, three at a push. :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,059 ✭✭✭✭osarusan


    Some great performances I remember:
    Dustin Hoffman in Lenny, Zbigniew Zamachowski in Three Colors: White, Henry Fonda in The Ox-Bow Incident, Carlo Battisti in Umberto D, Klaus Kinski in Fitzcarraldo.

    Clint is hard to disagree with alright. Newman is in the same category as steve mc queen, and sly for that matter ... lets rate them then??

    Nicholson
    ford,
    stallone,
    McQueen,

    ??

    Thread needs more ladies.

    Marlene Dietrich would put most of the lads mentioned in their place.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 71 ✭✭muttley-dps


    when i started this was thinking movies i'd watch again and again, am afraid marleinech doesn't show up :-(
    Robert englund maybe!?
    was watching commando going to primary school at age 10 every morning here, 'rosebud' never got much of a mention, though the shining was crap compared to the book!

    Leonardo Dicaprio. I've seen almost all his films and it's very hard to think of a bad performance. Plus he's so ****ing dreamy.
