Who do you consider to be the best actor?

Victoria Wood

i know she mainly does comedy and stand up but when she acts she can really get her chops round a role.

I am a particularly large fan of Heath Ledger, shame he passed away.

I also consider Hugh Laurie to be one of the best actors around.

 

[Relish in Chaos]

Favourite actor?I honestly can?t choose. Maybe?Cillian Murphy? The man really is a chameleon.

Favourite actress would be Jodie Foster, who has maintained a prestigious career since she was a child.

Eh.. "Best" Actor is too vague. There are a lot of great actors out there, but they can't do many roles very well.

I have some favorites though.. Morgan Freeman, Anthony Hopkins, and Rachel Weisz to name only a few.

I'd say Gary Oldman for the reasons stated already. Also Robin Williams (mostly), Tom Hanks, Keifer Sutherland, Kenneth Brannagh, and Rufus Sewell. Special mention goes to Bruce Campbell.

Worst for me would be Tom Cruise, Ben Stiller, Ryan Reynolds, Vince Vaughn, both Luke Wilson and Owne Wilson, Chris Tucker, and Christian Bale.

Really? Christian Bale and Ryan Reynolds are the worst actors? Sure Reynolds is typecast and predictable but watch Buried and you'll realise he's actually reasonably talented as an actor. And Bale is a phenomenal actor, just look at the work he put into films like The Machinist and American Psycho (OK psycho was a shit film but he nailed the role). I agree with Stiller being on the list though. Can't stand him.

American Psycho was not a shit film by any means.

OT: I'd have to say Daniel Day Lewis. It's a shame he doesn't do more movies.
