I like Hoffman as well. Probably could have put Paul Newman on my list as well. As for TV, I would add Andy Griffith and Don Knotts in addition to Dick Van Dyke. I watch a lot more tv so my list would be totally differnt and probably larger as I am not a big movie guy.

McPhisto: No actresses? I actually had a hard time coming up with actresses too...at least based on talent.

Gary Oldman

That's it. That's the entire list.

Bridget Fonda
Meryl Streep
Anjelica Huston
Cate Blanchett
Liv Tyler
Natalie Portman
Abigail Breslin

Word on that. Can't believe I forgot that guy.

Brad Pitt
Ed Norton
Benicio del Toro

I think that's probably it.

Denzel Washington

End of list.

Denzel (did you know his wife is a gospel singer? He was in Billingsley's dressing room not to long ago..food for thought)

Brad Pitt (smoothest dude alive, besides me)

Denzel is the same character in every movie. Except Glory.

yeah badass

More surprising than that is Billingsley has a dressing room? Is the bathroom at his house not good enough?

Everyone has said he was awesome in the new Hulk movie.

It was at the concert he sang at for the President or whatever that thing was back last winter

The Hulk movie was good. Iron Man was better, but this Hulk movie was 10 times better than the crap they put out a few years ago.

I have to admit that when I saw the topic the first name that came to my mind was Norton. The dude is nails in every role.

But here is my current list:

Mel Gibson
Harrison Ford
Edward Norton
Robert DeNiro
Andre Braugher
Javier Bardem
John C. McGinley
Bil Murray
Adam Sandler


Back in the day:

The Duke
Cool Hand Luke
Brando
Elvis (yeah he was a pedestrian thespian ... but he was the smoothest man ever)
Chevy Chase

Brad Pitt
Ed Norton
Tom Hanks
Adam Sandler

There are more, that's just all I can think of for now.

Norton, Deniro, and Brando? If only they had made a movie together...

I thought I already cleared this up with him

Two out of three ain't bad.

LUconn wrote:Norton, Deniro, and Brando? If only they had made a movie together...

They did. It was terrible.

Upon second thought I'd like to add two more ...

Mark Wahlberg
Denzel
Omar Epps
the little creepy girl from signs
Mel gibson

I know they did, but that was a good movie. Sure a little predictable but most movies are.

I stand by my assessment. I left that movie marvelling at how all of those guys were overrated. It would have lost nothing if the three of them had been swapped out with Matthew McConaughey and two of his missing dirty shirts.
