The greatest actor of all times in Hollywood

April 4, 2010 8:47pm CST
This is one tough decision to make, I just can't decide who the best actor of all times is... please help me. Who do you think is the absolute greatest actor of all times and why? As for MY personal favourites: I just can't decide between Al Pacino and Robert De Niro... there are other greats that I think deserve to be named the greatest actors as well, but I'll let you decide who you think is the greatest. Other great actors are (actors that have made movies that we watch over and over again of unforgettable characters that we imitate either their behaviour, their lines, etc): Al Pacino (Scarface, Godfather, etc) "Say hello to my little friend" - Scarface: has become almost legendary Robert De Niro (Casino, Goodfellas, Taxi driver, Godfather 2 etc) "You talking to me?" - Taxi driver Marlon Brando (Godfather, Apocalypse now, etc) "I'm gonna make an offer you can't refuse"... - Godfather: I'm sure you've said this at least once in your life time. Jim Carrey (Ace Ventura, Mask, etc) "Hold on sugar! Daddy's got a sweet tooth tonight!" - The Mask... LOL Bruce Lee (Enter the dragon, way of the dragon, etc) "Boards don't hit back!" - Enter the Dragon Taught us Jeet Kun do sometimes (always?) in the movies. Jackie Chan "Do you understand the worlds that are coming out of my mouth?" - Rush Hour 2 Of course his fighting style has been epic through the years, a good inspiration for kids and martial artists and stunt men around the world and for many decades. Jet Li (Romeo must die, etc) Jet "Sorry moron" Other guy "The names Maurice, bitc!" - Romeo must die Same as Jackie, a true martial artist legend! Keanu Reeves (Matrix trilogy, Bill and Ted, Speed, etc) "Be excellent to each other and party on dudes." - Bill and Ted Sylvester Stallone (Rocky movies, Rambo movies, Judge Dredd) "Yo Adrian we did... we did.." Arnald Schwarzeneggar (Terminator, etc) "I'll be back." There are a lot more... but I don't want to keep typing anymore. :P The choice is yours.

Oh I think the greatest actor of all time is Jack Nicholson, he had steady work in quality movies even until today. Al pacino and Robert De Niro peaked at the late 70-early 90s and afterwards, their movie went downhill, especially for DeNiro. He seems to take any kind of movie from horror to comedy to cop movie which got atrocius reviews from the critics.

Deniro, Johnny Depp, James Stewart, Robert Downey Jr., or Tom Hanks. I could easily pick any of them and be happy with my answer.

Its one question that will always rage, its like the question in football who is the best Pele or Maradonna or Messi or.... i'm sure Robert De Niro and Al Pacino will feature in almost everybody's list. i would also include Dustin Hoffman, Johnny Depp, Joaquin Pheonix and Daniel Day Lewis as greats.
