Greatest Actor Of All Time

[Ambaiste!]

Just being himself there.... :D

He was brilliant in 'Blue Velvet' as well.

How about Anthony Hopkins in 'Silence of the Lambs'? As regards the ladies, I love Juliette Lewis in 'Natural Born Killers' and Helena Bonham Carter in 'Fight Club'. I also think Jodie Foster is great in anything. Someone mentioned Sean Penn in 'Mystic River' - one of my all time favourite performances. For comedy, I think the greatest of all has to be Peter Sellers as Inspector Clouseau.

Kevin Spacey and Edward Norton are my favourite actors. Not old enough to remember the likes of James Stewart, etc.

Kevin Spacey is brilliant every time I watch him. I loved him in American Beauty but his performance in The Usual Suspects was simply astonishing.

Edward Norton doesn't seem to get the recognition he deserves. He was excellent in Fight Club and American History X but have to say Primal Fear blew me away.

He was very highly thought of when he made those, but a series of dull vanity projects have dimmed his star a bit.

I agree he went too mainstream with films like Red Dragon and The Hulk but I wouldn't call them dull vanity projects.

I actually found both fairly enjoyable - but defintitely nothing outstanding.

Red Dragon was just forgettable, Hulk is poor enough. I was thinking more of Down to the Valley and The Painted Veil though. The latter at least was well received, but no one who wasn't a film critic actually saw it.
