No lists, whatsoever...name your favorite actor

Dustin Hoffman - I think there's a case to be made for him as the best actor of his generation. Compared to DeNiro, for example, I think Hoffman showed greater range, especially in his earlier roles:
The Graduate
Little Big Man
Midnight Cowboy
Straight Time
Straw Dogs
Papillion
Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why Is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me?

Tom Hanks

Leonardo Dicaprio
I think he is really underrated! I think he got robbed at the Oscars a couple of times! The Aviator wasn't the greatest movie but his performance was just mesmerizing!

Brad Pitt

Gary Oldman

Good and Bad movies but his characters are always awesome and different. He does not play the same guy in every movie.

Jeff Goldblum.

Anthony Hopkins

His Oscar worthy performance as Thor's daddeh was riveting

Paul Newman

Cool Hand Luke as good s it gets.

Chris Cooper...he deserves some props

Gary Oldman, Tom Hanks, or Johnny Depp.

Nic cage because I'm a sucker for those action movies that are so bad that they're good, like Con Air

Arnold.

does it include actresses? If yes then the choice is easy for me, tbh.

Christopher Waltz

Without much thought, Gene Hackman comes to mind.

Matthew McConaughey
Nick Cage

August: Osage County was fanfuckingtastic.

I'll watch anything with Mark Ruffalo, even if I know it's going to be terrible, because he's got talent.

Even the silly ones like The Sorcerer's Apprentice are great.

i never saw that. i stopped following nic cage after i saw national treasure 2 :lol.

my favorites of his are The Rock, Con Air, Gone in 60 Seconds, Face/Off off the top of my head. i also liked the first national treasure, lord of war. ghost rider was kinda bad, but i was still enjoying myself by laughing at cage at that point. family man is a solid comedy too, not usually his style though
