the best male actors of our times By danny [1 more lists]
the first 8 are my favorites, as all are true character actors although they can all equally play leading men. the last 5 must be on any list of best actors but I do not believe they are any better than the first 8, and if anything the last 2 have shamelessly whored themselves out (not that I blame them for choosing money over respect). #1 is #1, hands down. watch Boogie Nights and The Talented Mr. Ripley back to back and tell me he's not the best actor ever.
