Your Top 5 Actors (right now!)

[Mulli]

I think Casey Affleck is getting pretty good.

 

[Beaver]

Giamatti huh?

And you thought my Samuel L was bad....

American Splendor puts him on my list.

 

[Pariah]

PSHoffman fits this category.

What? No he doesn't.

Which guy is PSH? The guy he played in Charlie Wilson's War or Capote?

 

[Mulli]

Meryl Streep, sexist *******!!

 

[Mulli]

What? No he doesn't.

Which guy is PSH? The guy he played in Charlie Wilson's War or Capote?

Charlie Wilson's War, Devil Knows you are dead, the Savages.

Not really in old guy caricature status, just mail in performance of a boarish fat dude status.

To me.

 

[Pariah]

oh, and honorbale mention to Brad Pitt and Val Kilmer.

...and if Keanue Reeves is a bookish, professor type in his real life, then he's #1 on the list.

 

[dreamcastrocks]

American Splendor puts him on my list.

If we are going off of one performance, I'd consider Viggo Mortensen for A History of Violence.

William Hurt was f'n fantastic in that movie, too.

 

[Mulli]

James Gandolfini, you stoonads.

 

[D-Dogg]

1. Leonardo DiCaprio

In no particular order:

Russell Crowe
Johnny Depp
Josh Brolin
Edward Norton


All of those guys can play ANYBODY, IMO.

DDL is probably outside looking in, wondering how Brolin kicked him out of there. Well, DDL, you need to make some more movies, and Plainview seems to be just a rehash of Bill the Butcher.

I drink your milkshake!

 

[nashman]

1. Denzel Washington
2. Ed Norton
3. Brad Pitt
4. Kevin Spacey
5. Tom Hanks

A. Hopkins, Deniro, Pachino, PSH, DDL, Jack, lots of good ones. I loved the Xfiles and Californication so David Duchovny is a favorite of mine as well.

 

[Renz]

1. Ed Norton
2. Clive Owen
3. Paul Giamatti
4. Peter Sarsgaard
5. Sam Rockwell

Owen and Giamatti should lose their spots for doing Shoot Em Up.

 

[Bada0Bing]

Joaquin Phoenix - favorite for almost 10 years now
Billy Crudup - almost took the top spot a few years ago and will probably fall soon if he doesn't pick it up
Christian Bale - his ability to change his body for his characters is amazing
Ed Norton - definitely the best actor on my list, can play any character and you forget it's Norton
Jim Carrey - it's been awesome to watch his transformation from a one dimensional goofball to a serious actor, he blows me away when he gets serious

 

[Matt L]

What? No he doesn't.

Which guy is PSH? The guy he played in Charlie Wilson's War or Capote?

Two favorite Phillip Seymour Hoffman roles:

Big Lebowski
Almost Famous

 

[Chaplin]

Russell Crowe
Johnny Depp
Robert Downey Jr.
Tom Hanks
Heath Ledger

Hey, you said RIGHT NOW...

 

[pogoowner]

In no particular order, aside from Bale being first:

Christian Bale
Ed Norton
Johnny Depp
Russell Crowe
Heath Ledger

I'd like to have Paul Newman on my list, but he's no longer current, unfortunately.

You know Heath is gone too right?

 

[pogoowner]

You know Heath is gone too right?

Haha... true. I wasn't really thinking about that since he had a movie come out this year.
