So here goes the Top Ten!
Robert Duvall
My favorite role by Duvall was the tyrannical Pulitzer, he's had countless diverse and amazingly well acted parts before that and since.
Heath Ledger
While Heath's career has been tragically cut short, he used his time to show more potential then most actors show in decades more than he had.
Gary Oldman
The Professional is a personal favorite of mine, Oldman portrayed an evil, scary murderer in perfect form as he killed a family including a small child. His list of amazing roles include Commissioner Gordon,Sirius Black and Dracula among many.
Johnny Depp
Not much can be said about Depp that hasn't already been said by legions of fans and critics. From his baby face looks in Edward Scissorhands and Crybaby to his hilarious depiction of a witty, drunken pirate in Pirates of the Caribbean, he's shown many faces in many different ways.
Jim Carrey
Known for his comedic talents and antics in movies like Ace Ventura and Dumb and Dumber, Jim Carrey displays great acting abilities in such movies as Truman Show and The Majestic. His off-the-screen life has taken many turns and he's challenged himself in many ways to become a better actor and an even better person.
Leonardo DiCaprio
Leo got his start young on television and ran with his fame, absolutely blowing fans away in movies like This Boy's Life and What's Eating Gilbert Grape. Di Caprio finally took home his first Oscar in 2016, using his speech to bring light to climate issues and the planet.
Robert De Niro
Robert De Niro has revolutionized acting and has both entertained and impressed people for decades now. My personal favorite role was as a loving father of Sunny in A Bronx Tale, he built a career by showing his ability to scare and be serious while also keeping us laughing as well. His versatility allowed him to play parts like Al Capone in The Untouchables and Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II and then go on to be Jack Byrnes in Meet the Parents.
Gene Hackman
To me, he'll always be the comical and sarcastic Lex Luthor (no offense Eisenberg...well...maybe a little offense), Gene Hackman has captivated us with movies since the 60's, starring in: The French Connection, Young Frankenstein, Superman, Wyatt Earp, The Quick and the Dead, Get Shorty, Enemy of the State and the Replacements along with many more. He's one of few who can pull off some of those roles while also writing three historical fiction novels. Impressive career and he's not even done.
Brad Pitt
Brad Pitt got his start on Another World and has gone on to entertain us all for the past few decades. J.D. in Thelma and Louise and Louis from Interview With a Vampire were just two of his awesome acting prowess. Pitt has 3 movies on the way as of 2016, one being a sequel to 2013's World War Z.
Kevin Spacey
Kevin Spacey has a voice you can't help but enjoy, he's a great impressionist. He may do the best Johnny Carson and that includes the man himself, he's had an amazing career with movies that have touched our hearts and made us want to kill him at times. Crediting The Usual Suspects, Pay it Forward, The Ref, American Beauty and Netflix series House of Cards to his resume are just a hand full of his acting career.
There's my personal list, let me know what you think. Who would be in your list?
