    IMO it's Michael Caine: Caine has had 132 acting roles in 51 years of brilliance on the stage and it seems every movie he has even a small part in turns out to be brilliant. I can't wait for the Sleuth remake.who do you guys think the best actor ever is?

    Eddie Murphy. He may not be the BEST, but that's my favorite.

    I'm always partial to works by Robert DeNiro, Johnny Depp and John Cusack. I think each own the craft in unique and fascinating ways.

    For me it's Al Pacino. They guy is just a phenomenal actor. He played key roles in the Godfather series and was brilliant. In Scarface he was able to change his accent as well as perform as well as he did in that. Al Pacino has done alot of movies ranging back from the 70's to today. Great actor.

    I don't know much about film history...I don't go back much further than the 80's.Al Pacino, Robert Duvall, Denzel Washington, Dennis Hopper, Johnny Depp, Mark Wahlberg....are my favorites and damn good actors.

    I think at his age, Leonardo DiCaparo is going to be the greatest ever...people say has hasnt done enough movies. But the movies he has done in the past 10 yrs have been incredible and usually 3+ star movies....alotve times 4 star movies.

    my favorites are Denzel Washington, Bruce Willis and Morgan Freeman but as far as best actors goes I think you really have to classify it by movie genre I.e. comedy (Jim Carrey) etc...

Like take more diverse roles to achieve greatest ever. But he's done plenty of films, I don't understand why someone would say he hasn't. I mean he was a kid actor and had great performances in Basketball Diaries, What's Eating Gilbert Grape and The Quick and the Dead. For the record, I did not like Titanic or Romeo + Juliet. Even though Legizamo owned in R+J.

    God, how does Denzel come up in every one of these threads.I like Don Cheadle a lot out of the recent actors. Ed Norton always seems to pick good movies, as does Russell Crowe.
