I made a list of actors I think are the best. This is my what I would choose so its a biased poll. I don't know what everyone likes or doesn't like.
Who the fuck else voted Adam Sandler. Of course he's the best. I mean, Orson Welles was great. But everyone knows Adam Sandler would have made a better Charles Foster Kane. Jesus, imagine that lol. *Retarded Adam Sandler noises*
As far as your list goes, i'm partial to Robin Williams And Bill Murray, but not for his acting skills - he basically just always plays himself doesnt he. But he seems like a really cool person, there's a documentary on netflix about how cool he is. One day i'm going to bump into him and we're going to be friends
I picked Adam Sandler initially but he did play a supporting role to Rob Schneider a few times so I might have to reconsider... I'd go with Jack Nicholson from that list and I don't think it's even all that close. I feel like most of his characters make the movies he's in... Nicholson carries One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest Provides some of the most memorable lines of Easy Rider Creates the best character from a Stephen King adaptation and one of the best horror movie characters ever in The Shining While overshadowed by Ledger's Joker in The Dark Knight, Nicholson still provided a good template for The Joker and Comic Book movie Villains in general in Batman Was great in The Departed Provides one of the most famous lines from a movie I haven't even seen in "You can't handle the Truth!"
I won't vote for anyone on that list. I'd consider Dustin Hoffman, Anthony Hopkins, Marlon Brando, Jeff Bridges, Alec Guinness, Buster Keaton, Merly Streep, Shirley Temple, Irene Dunne, and a few others.
I forgot Russell Crowe and Anthony Hopkins. Hollywood has been hard on male actors lately. I don't get it.
I picked Nicholson - only because of Batman. Even though I LOVED Mark Hamill as the Joker in the Animated Series, Nicholson made that role so memorable.
My favorites in no particular order Clint Eastwood Samuel L Jackson John Wayne Humphrey Bogart Clarke Gable Charles Laughton Henry Fonda Burt Lancaster Tom Cruise Charlton Heston Edward G Robinson Orson Wells
I agree with Jack Nicholson but can't vote against Harrison Ford. How could one forget Denzel Washington?
