Greatest actor ever?

Who, in your opinion, is the greatest actor to ever live?

Personally, Daniel Day Lewis is my pick.

Possibly Gary Oldman

Excellent choice.

Kevin Spacey is up there for me, too.

Don't feel I'm knowlegdable enough on film to make a informed choice.

Hmm, haven't watched enough of him to comment

Also Tom Hardy has the potential to become the greatest imo

DeNiro.

Marlon Brando.

Kevin Spacey, Robert Downey JR., Liam Neeson or Gary Oldman.

Personal Favorites: Mark Ruffalo, Hugh Jackman, Andrew Lincoln, Chris Hemsworth and Henry Cavill.

1. Kevin Spacey

2. Robert De Niro

Morgan Freeman

Spacey is up there. I'm just going to say Clint Eastwood since he's my favorite.

Tom Hanks

Jack Nicholson is one of the greatest IMO

Jake Gyllenhaal, Jack Nicholson, Christoph Waltz

Tom hanks

Treat Williams

They are many good, I can't favorize one...

• Brad Pitt
• Chris Pratt
• Christain Bale
• Jason Statham
• Denzel Washington
• Russell Crowe
• Michael White

Nicolas Cage.

Oh and Hugh Jackman and Robert Downey is great as well, probably forgot some

Denzel Washington, & Liam Nesson, Johnny Depp, Al Pacino, Samuel L. Jackson.

But Treat was in Hair people..."HAIR!".

Personally I'd have to agree with DDL.

But other notables are:

Jack Nicholson

Dustin Hoffman

Jimmy Stewart

Marlon Brando

and

Robert DeNiro

I've been on a Ian McShane kick lately.......

Toshiro Mifune is definitely one of the best.

There are too many great actors for only one to be considered the greatest.

Dang, some folks need to watch more of the older movies.. I see no James Cagney, James Stewart, Clark Gable, Gregory Peck...

Those actors could act circles around the likes of Tom Hanks, Russel Crowe, Johnny Depp, etc. etc..

@biteme_fanboy: not johnny depp he's chameleon when its comes to acting.

Peter O'Toole

Michael Fassbender.

Robert De Niro.

Danzel Washington.

Johnny Depp.

Morgan Freeman.

Kevin Spacey.

Forest Whitaker.

Harrison Ford

There are A LOT of fantastic actors for me to narrow it down to just one, but I could probably compose an interchangeable Top 5:

1. Jake Gyllenhaal
2. Leonardo DiCaprio
3. Denzel Washington
4. Matt Damon
5. Jack Nicholson

Honourable Mentions: Hugo Weaving, Kevin Spacey, Nicolas Cage, Christian Bale, and Brad Pitt.

Leonardo DiCaprio.

Bryan Cranston.

Can't name a "greatest". Will say my favorite is Cary Grant.

there's a lot

Tommy Wiseau.

Tom Hanks

Leonardo DiCaprio

Heath Ledger

Jake Gyllenhaal

Liam Neeson

Gary Oldman

And quite a few more.

Ving Rhames.

Charlie Chaplin.

Robert DeNiro.

Harrison Ford.

Hugh Jackman.

Richard Madden

Hmm...

I'd say Patrick Stewart, Ian Mckellen, or, one of my personal favorites, Doug Walker pre-2013

No love for Spencer Tracy? :(

This is totally subjective, of course. Some people may consider Paul Reubens the best actor ever!

Jack Nicholson, Matt Dillon, Clive Owen, Kevin Spacey, Christian Bale, Robert DeNiro, Ed Norton, etc.

If I had to choose one I'd probably say Jack.
