Brando, Heston, Kirk Douglas, Jimmy Stewart, Humphrey Bogart, Cary Grant, William Holden, William Powell, Clarke Gable, Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, Robert Mitchum, Edward G. Robinson, Sydney Greenstreet, Peter Lorre,.....there are a ton of great actors, too many to name


For today's group I like: Christian Bale, Johnny Depp, Edward Norton, Matt Damon, Terrance Howard, Jack Black (very underrated as just an ACTOR, see 'King Kong'), Vince Vaughn (also very underrated as an ACTOR, see 'A Cool Dry Place').

I think Vince Vaughn is extremely good as an actor, I think his job in Psycho was very good but the movie on the whole sucked (for other reasons, mainly they attempted to re-do a Hitchcock film and in color...big big no-no). 'A Cool, Dry Place' isn't exactly a great film but Vaughn did really do a great job of not playing the character he's been typecast into...the slovenly, sarcastic, selfish, smart ass.

Alan Rickman is a GREAT actor and Christopher Walkin as well...you have to really be devoted to take the "bad guy" roles and you have to be more believeable than the protaganist in the movie or else it will totally suck.


Keanu was great in Matrix and Point Break but those weren't really "Acting" jobs for him.

Elvis wasn't horrible...he wasn't as good as an actor as he was a singer but he was in bad movies so it didn't help.


Frank Sinatra was a very good actor as well
