    Which is to say, who are the four greatest actors - in your opinion?

    They can be living or dead, any nationality or genre. This is obviously subjective, so there are no wrong answers!

    For my list, I decided to go with actors still living. I love movies, including many classics, but there are just too many great actors of the past whose work I am unfamiliar with. Besides, it was hard enough narrowing it down to 4 living actors!

    My Mount Rushmore:

    Daniel Day-Lewis
    Jack Nicholson
    Denzel Washington
    Gary Oldman

    I'm struggling to come up with four actors who hold any significance to me at all. I love movies but I've never really paid much attention to actors.

    I usually only watch comedic movies and comedic actors arent generally Mt Rushmore worthy

    The only person I can really think of is Tom Hanks. Cant wait to see his portrayal of Mr. Rogers

    Bill Murray deserves to be on Mt. Rushmore just for being Bill Murray

    No one said Schwarzenegger yet. I'd watch more of his back catalogue than any other actor.

    Clint
    Denzel
    Arnie
    De Niro

    Jack Nicholson would be on there, and Tom Hanks. Otherwise, I have no strong feelings.

    Wait: what qualifies someone to be on Mt. Rushmore? How many movies they have been in? Quality of their acting? How good looking they are? These factors might influence my decision.
