Greatest actor of the twentieth century

I still say that Patrick Stewart is up there as one of the best. But I dout that anyone can really decide on who is "the best", because we all have our favorites. Best we can do I think is produce a list of the top 10 or 20 best actors.

I wish Jeff Bridges would pick his roles better, but overall a great actor! :thumbsup:
White Squall, The Contender, The Big Lebowski were great and different roles. Fearless, Blown Away and Arlington Road were not great and quite boring for his skill level. Door in the Floor is his best in IMHO...

I think Walken is a great actor...the problem is, he's the same character in almost every movie he's in. Mel Gibson is also the same in every movie. IMO.ufirst07 said:
In my book, what makes a great actor is when the actor can totally submerge himself in a role.
I like when actors also change their appearance, too.
Gary Oldman is an incredible, underrated actor.
tom hanks no doubt...he was amazin in philadelphia, big, saving private ryan, the green mile and my favourite forest gump...his performances made those movies

Fearless I did really like. Based on a true story, it was a real sense of the ability to survive anything even into immortality while on the other hand Rosie Perez was consumed with death. K-Pax was also very good. Tucker was another good one. Seabiscuit I also enjoyed, although not his best.

Walken, Deniro, Pacino, that guy that plays John Locke in 'Lost'
Jim Carrey picked up the "generation award" at MTV movie awards... what does everyone think of that?

i agree, probably the first actor i liked when i was a kid (seeing ace ventura, mask, etc). got famous for monkeying around, some how did it better than everyone else.
also great in his more serious roles, like eternal sunshine of the spotless mind.

Samuel L Jackson...without a doubt
I am absolutely unable to pick one name to say "this is the greatest one"...
Some of my favourites are:
Clint Eastwood, Henry Fonda, Sir Laurence Olivier, Sidney Poitier, Christopher Lee, Charles Bronson, Peter O'Toole, Gregory Peck, Charlton Heston...
... only few who have just entered my mind...
