I've had a pretty busy week so have been reading but had no time to comment. So here's my list so for with a few thoughts:
1. James Stewart 2. Daniel Day-Lewis 3. Brad Pitt 4. Philip Seymour Hoffman 5. 6. Robert De Niro 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. 13. 14. 15.
First of all, I didn't realise until just now how few of my list have made it. That Charlize Theron made it to 11 on our list is the craziest, strangest thing I've ever seen.
UT had the worst word-choice ever in calling DDL a one-trick pony. I do, however, understand his point of contention. If you're looking for a movie star who does a little bit of everything, that's not what he is. What he is, however, is probably the GOAT. 🐐 The way he totally inhabits a role makes everything he does so completely captivating and unique. For many actors, you know what you're getting when you watch them. That's ok, and often a very good thing. With Day-Lewis, it's often baffling how the same person can do such different roles. I never feel like I'm watching DDL, I always feel like I'm watching Daniel Plainview or Abraham Lincoln or Bill the Butcher. That Lincoln, a pretty pedestrian and dry epic, is as captivating as it is, is totally down to his performance. There Will Be Blood would be unwatchable parody with a different lead actor. He's fantastic.
Robert De Niro is a real favourite of mine because of the range of performances he can give. Let's take The Irishman as an example. DeNiro could have played any of the three big roles, whereas I'd say Pacino could only play the role he did. He did it really well, but De Niro has the range to be big and over the top like in Cape Fear or Meet the PArents, but he can also deliverly a restrained, anchoring performance like in The Irishman or Goodfellas, where he doesn't do as much over the top acting, but what he does is so important to the film's flow. I think he gave the most difficult performance in The Irishman and should have been nominated for an oscar. He's also proven himself to be a great supporting actor who doesn't take over a film. His performances in Silver Lining Playbook or Joker are masterclasses, but they also let the lead lead, and that's not easy.
I didn't vote for Leo simply because I know he's one of PW's favourites and I knew he'd make the top of the list with or without my vote. But this idea that Leo was just a pretty boy until after Titanic is nonsense. He maybe wasn't always in films that guys tend to watch/enjoy, but he was always great. What's Eating Gilbert Grape is a role that could so easily become over-the-top, but he played it just right. Romeo + Juilet isn't a film for 30 year old pro-wrestling fans, but his charisma grounds the film and makes it the success it is. Titanic, The Beach, and Man in the Iron Mask are all very solid performances. Then his work after that speaks for itself. I'm gutted he won the oscar for The Revenant, which is probably my list film of his.
Jack Nicholson was obviously great. Chinatown, One Flew, etc. are fantastic - but he's become such a parody in later years I cannot take him seriously at all anymore. See: The Departed.

Well there goes my #1. Figured the haters wouldn’t let him finish at the top but he is the GOAT. I’ve defended his honor a billion times and by the time he is done with his career, he will be the GOAT to everyone. Still young and still has a lot to show like UT mentioned.

Philip Seymour Hoffman
Hoffman was my favorite living actor for many years leading up to his death in 2014. Except he wasn't an actor. He is a goddamned legend. He placed #8 on this list but he was #4 on mine. I would have had no issue with him taking the top spot here. I believe his abilities to be on the same level of Tom Hanks, which is a very rare thing indeed. Though of course, he is not as widely beloved and I get that. He appeared most prominently in cult classics and interestingly weird roles and wasn't the main event draw that Hanks is. But he killed it in every single performance. Not only did he kill it, he absolutely stole the spotlight within only a few lines. Even with a minor presence in some movies, he left lasting impressions that stayed with you through the remainder of the film. Big splashes from a big man. I first saw him in Boogie Nights. Now let me just say, I was not a fan at that point. I saw that he did a great job and was vaguely interested but the character was just not for me. I saw him later in Hard Eight where he comes in for one scene and had me on the floor laughing with a ridiculous and random persona that you may wonder why was even in the movie at all. But even in that role, he became this ridiculous person so realistically and it was this convincing performance that made it so funny. I then saw him show some serious dramatic prowess in The Master. A weird as fuck movie that probably wouldn't have worked with anyone else in that role. Why? Because, again, the concept was just so ridiculous even despite this being a serious drama. Yet you could feel his weird and bizarre, yet powerfully portrayed emotions emanating across the screen. Joaquin Phoenix, also one of the best actors of all time (no clue how he missed this list) plays opposite him and it takes an actor the caliber of Seymour Hoffman to not be completely overshadowed by him. They compliment each other well and it produces one of the best dramas I've seen. Hoffman swoops into films like Before the Devil Knows You're Dead to again have a minor role yet shape the entire plot from the shadows or into Punch-Drunk Love as "Mattress Man" to elevate the entire film to a higher level and make it worthwhile while appearing in just a few scenes. Indeed, his main event roles were few and far between which made it all the more unfortunate that he died before getting to do more. A Late Quartet is another unknown film where he has a larger role and is one of my favorite dramas of all time. A very emotional performance out of him yet again. He leads in his final film, A Most Wanted Man, as a thriller war action star that gives a unique twist on the conventional character for that sort of film. He draws out a deep intellect and psyche that you begin to analyze throughout the film, which is very uncharacteristic for this type of movie. This man could do it all. No other person's death has affected me more in my life and I was truly sad when I heard that he had passed away. My favorite current actor at that time. At the young age of 46 with many would-be great roles ahead for him. I have not been close with anyone I know personally that has died yet, so Hoffman takes the #1 spot there.
His death was caused by "acute mixed drug intoxication, including heroin, cocaine, benzodiazepines, and amphetamine" which is quite the way to go. While it does piss me off that he chose such a dangerous act that ended up ending his life, it was still an accident and he did not intend to die. "Hoffman's death was lamented by fans and the film industry and was described by several commentators as a considerable loss to the profession. Three weeks after Hoffman's death, his friend David Bar Katz established the American Playwriting Foundation in the actor's memory. It gives out an award dubbed the "Relentless Prize" in honor of Hoffman's dedication to the profession."
Indeed, he was beloved and his death caused quite the media storm. Wild theories sprang forth that he was killed by a "bad batch" of heroin and a manhunt even began within the police force to track down whoever sold him the drugs. One officer commented as they raided a drug lab "We got them! We found the bastards that killed Philip Seymour Hoffman!" The dealers later turned out to be completely unrelated to any dealings with Hoffman, but it is crazy that the police force was driven to such lengths and that officers were so emotionally affected by his death.
I don't believe it was ever concluded that any of the dealers they rounded up were the perpetrators for this, but I think we can all agree that Hoffman himself was mostly to blame. Yet just as sad all the same. After his death, this photo was posted on Katz's FB page with the comment "He is so beautiful."
His longtime partner and mother of his three children later wrote an article about him:

A top 10 ranking for Leo is fair. UT's ranking at #6 isn't terribly bad either. But a top 2 finish for Leo is absolutely laughable. Pure recency bias as Leo is still in the prime of his career while DeNiro is in the twilight of his.
For my take, I have absolutely no use for Leo before 2002. As I said before, he was the theatrical equivalent of a boy band singer to me. Most of his films were chick flicks and the ones that weren't were not terribly compelling. Titanic was his biggest hit of that period, and that was a film in which he was overshadowed by far better performances than his own.
BTW Gilbert Grape absolutely blows. PI nailed that one.
But after 2002? A complete 180. As I've said before James Cameron may have turned Leo into a star but it was Martin Scorsese that turned him into a grown ass man. His work since hooking up with Scorsese has been stellar, and he's also one of the few young actors that has been HELPED by physical maturity rather than have things go downhill from that point. If he can keep up his current standard of excellence he might very well overtake DeNiro, Hanks, Day Lewis, Stewart and other legit GOAT contenders. But that day is still a long way off.

Funny, I find The Revenant as one of his strongest performances, I totally forgot it was the same guy who was in Titanic nearly 2 decades earlier. I pretty much echo LT's sentiments that over the last 15 years he's been great and has only got better with age. He really could have fallen into that trap especially since he got his start as a typical child actor with Growing Pains. Kirk Cameron anyone?

No surprise I don't think considering who is left at #1 , and he was my #1 as well. It was like splitting hairs between he and Denzel for me but ultimately my arbitrary tie breaker was the Toy Story franchise. I don't see Denzel being able to bring the same kind of heart and emotion to the animated screen as Hanks simply does through his voice and inhabit one of the most beloved and popular animated characters of all time.
Toy Story is amazing , but you also have roles like Philadelphia , Forrest Gump (forever his most iconic) all the way back to Big and League of Their Own. PW's beloved Saving Private Ryan , I LOVED Captain Phillips even more upon rewatch , Castaway is iconic and Green Mile is way too overlooked. Pretty much anything Tom touches turns to gold for me. He is able to inhabit any character he sets his mind too while also being able to bring his charm and grace to the screen and not losing any of his movie star qualities. He's a rare combination of everything IMO.
Deserving #1. Tom Hanks is a worldwide treasure.

1. Leonardo Di Caprio 2. Jack Nicholson 3. Christoph Waltz 4. Denzel Washington 5. Choi Min-sik 6. James Stewart 7. Clint Eastwood 8. Al Pacino 9. Mark Ruffalo 10. Toshiro Mifuni 11. Nicolas Cage 12. Jodie Foster 13. Matt Damon 14. Brad Pitt 15. Samuel L Jackson I honestly don't remember if I considered Tom Hanks for my list. Even if I did, he wouldn't have made it. Same reason as De Niro - he is a tremendous actor with an incredible career, but not a personal favourite. In hindsight, reading some of the Jack Nicholson discussion, I overrated him. He should be placed around the Al Pacino mark. Both actors are similar in that they are not the most versatile, but had some fantastic hits in their peaks during the 70s and 80s. However, Nicholson was my first ever favourite actor, and I've seen so many of his films, it was hard to avoid a very high placement. Di Caprio is the man at the moment. He's knocked it out of the park in pretty much all of his roles since the turn of the century. What's Eating Gilbert Grape? is amazing. Even if you don't like the film, you gotta respect Leo's performance. Incredibly hard to pull off that character. Got a Best Supporting Actor nomination in his third or fourth film appearance. Not seen too much of his early career, which most people are criticising, but The Basketball Diaries ain't bad at all. Perhaps I overrated Christoph Waltz considering I've only seen three of his films, but he is so amazing in all of them. Carnage, Inglorious Basterds and Django Unchained are all 10/10 performances, and those movies wouldn't have been anywhere near as good without him. 🤯, what other Christoph Waltz movies should I watch? Mark Ruffalo is in a similar boat. Never see a bad performance, always compelling, and he is phenomenal in Spotlight. Jodie Foster, again, incredibly consistent. Choi Min-sik is best known as the protagonist of Oldboy, but he also has a masterclass performance as a serial killer in I Saw The Devil. Toshiro Mifuni is in a bunch of Akira Kurosawa movies, classic Japanese cinema from the 40s and 50s, and he's amazing.

Hanks is one of those names that makes perfect sense to be #1, but he's not really the first guy that comes to mind when I think of a list like this. A contender, but not runaway. No issue with him being here naturally.

I was surprised Matt Damon didn't rank at all , I've always considered him a top notch actor and one of the best around today. He made my personal list. Other actresses like Reese and Sandra Bullock just missed the main list but made mine. I through a shout to Robin Wright at the end of my list because I love her.
Both Sandler and Ferrel made my list because there were such a huge part of all my favorite comedies and comedies deserve love too. They were also just barely on the outside of the overall countdown.
It was a good list. Fun discussions.

I’m not mad about Hanks finishing #1. He’s certainly deserving plus first actor with COVID and this is our gift to him. He made my list but was rather low on it. Like Ness said, I don’t think Hanks and think greatest ever but it’s not something that upsets me. I am upset about comedians not making it. Sandler needs more love after Uncut Gems and he’s done a stellar job in comedy and he made me cry in that one Bed Bath and Beyond movie with the remote. Name slips my mind right now. Ferrell is hilarious too and he was on my list. I am stunned Christian Bale didn’t make my list. I honestly thought people were obsessed with him! I forgot to put him on my list but he was deserving. I still don’t know what I was doing putting Forest Whitaker and his crazy eye on my list. Should’ve been Bale. Overall Leo at #2 makes me a happy man especially since it wasn’t some clown like DDL ahead of him.

Sorry Slick Nick, but if there can be only one National Treasure, it's Tom Hanks. Robin Williams was the fist and really only celebrity death to hit me in a way that made me feel personally sad. The only other one I can imagine impacting me the same way, and even more so possibly, will be Tom Hanks. If coronavirus takes him... So help me god! 1. Leonardo Di Caprio 2. Jack Nicholson 3. Christoph Waltz 4. Denzel Washington 5. Choi Min-sik 6. James Stewart 7. Clint Eastwood 8. Al Pacino 9. Mark Ruffalo 10. Toshiro Mifuni 11. Nicolas Cage 12. Jodie Foster 13. Matt Damon 14.

Toshiro Mifuni is in a bunch of Akira Kurosawa movies, classic Japanese cinema from the 40s and 50s, and he's amazing. Zero qualms with you ranking Waltz so high. My own criteria kinda precluded me from including him on my own list. But love him so fucking much. Honestly, the only other thing I've seen him in is Horrible Bosses 2. I'm all in on doing a tandem research mission with you, if you want. Coronavirus watch parties!?!? Anyway... Here's mine: Don't want to overthink this too much. Criteria considered included: - Star power; i.e., capability to carry a movie or show as the featured lead. The HOLLYWOOD factor. Can't be discounted. This helped narrow out the hundreds of amazing side/supporting/character actors out there. Sorry Willem, Benecio, etc. - Versatility; i.e., can they do comedy as well as drama? How's their voice-over work? Can they morph into a variety of different roles? Have they surprised me with how well they've performed in unexpected roles? How well can they alter their bodies or affect an accent for a role? - Longevity and trend direction. How long have they been at it, and what's their body of work look like? Did they peak early with one or two good performances and then disappear... Or go on to become a mockery/parody of themselves? Or do they keep churning out solid outings? - Number of "hits"; how many roles/movies/shows have they been in that I've personally loved or acknowledge as being critically acclaimed? Something quantifiable to help split hairs and rank. 🤯's: 1 .) Tom Hanks 2 .) Meryl Streep 3 .) Robin Williams 4 .) Charlize Theron 5 .) Julia Roberts 6 .) Mel Gibson 7 .) Lucille Ball 8 .) Dustin Hoffman 9 .) Leonardo DiCaprio 10 .) Reese Witherspoon 11 .) Nicolas Cage 12 .) Johnny Depp 13 .) Brad Pitt 14 .) Sandra Bullock 15 .) Daniel Day Lewis Wife is working on a list, but it's her... So don't hold your breath.

1. Sir Laurence Olivier Daniel Day-Lewis Marlon Brando Jimmy Stewart Jack Nicholson Johnny Depp Robert De Niro Al Pacino Meryl Streep Phillip Seymour Hoffman Dennis Hopper Ewan McGregor Nicholas Cage Ed Norton 15. Morgan Freeman
Olivier by reputation is still one of the strongest actors out there and is one of the few actors who can give a powerful performance and not come off as fake. Rebecca and Wuthering Heights are both all-time great performances in my book.
Marlon Brando along with James Dean and a few others changed the way actors performed on screen to make it more naturalistic and he's played some of the most memorable characters on screen.
Johnny Depp has become a punch line in recent years but growing up he was one of my favourite actors. I thought his performance in Secret Window was a great example of taking some fairly mundane material and elevating it to another level and he had a really fun filmography. Nightmare on Elm Street, Cry Baby, Ed Wood, Edward Scissorhands, Pirates of the Carribean, Deadman, Benny and Joon, What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Sleepy Hollow, Fear and Loathing In Las Vegas, Blow, Finding Neverland, Donnie Brasco etc. all really fun and versatile roles and movies. I kind of went off him after Public Enemies ended up being really underwhelming, but I certainly think he was one of the better actors of his generation.
Hopper I decided to give a shout out because I love the Frank Booth character in Blue Velvet and I see him as an evolution of Brando's style alongside Nicholson who is fantastic, you guys need to stop messing around.
Had a brief Ewan McGregor phase - Shallow Grave, A Life Less Ordinary, freakin' Trainspotting, Velvet Goldmine, The Ghost and my personal favourite Big Fish. Even something like Moulon Rouge was elevated because of Ewan. I think he's one of the more likable actors and even in bad movies usually he's one of the positives - like in the Star Wars prequels. Between Ewan and McAvoy there's not enough love for Scottish actors on PW.
Nicholas Cage is a meme, but he's so entertaining to watch on screen. I thought I'd lend pi some support.
Ed Norton was another actor I was really into. I always draw comparisons to Primal Fear in my daily life and nobody has ever seen that movie for whatever reason. It's brilliant and one of the best break-out performances I've seen. I thought he was great in America History X and Fight Club as well - two of the better films of the 90s.
Morgan Freeman is just a joy to watch on screen. It doesn't matter how grim the material is, Freeman just makes it so captivating to watch.

Tom Hanks is what DDL would be if he had a bigger work schedule, a lighter touch, and greater mass appeal. He has the same ability to really nail the fine details of his character, but you get to see it far more often. Also a great voice actor as shown by the Toy Story series. I have NO problem with Hanks being #1 and he is the only actor I would even consider taking over DeNiro.

I have no problems with the list we ended up with. A bunch of dudes picking their favourite actors is about as subjective as it gets. I had four as well! Reese Witherspoon Sandra Bullock Charlize Theron Robin Wright #woke I wish Mika Kunis was in more good movies because she would have made it too. I love her. Ah frig I miscounted on yours. I guess we’re more woke than I thought.

I am offended by the implication that we picked dude actors just because we are dudes! Of the top 100 highest grossing films of 2017-2018, only 33.1% of all characters with lines were female. Selecting equal gender amounts from a 2:1 split would have been sexist. Also, 27.3% of the females in those 100 films were shown with partial nudity. Take that how you will. The industry is sexist, not us! Except The Kid who is probably sexist.
