Who's the top 3 best current actors?
daniel day lewis
denzel washington
meryl streep? i unno
I like watching anything with Gosling, DiCaprio and Gordon Levitt as of recently, so I guess I'll go with them.
I've enjoyed pretty much everything Dicaprio has been in lately
Christopher Waltz was phenomenal in Django and Inglorious Bastards, he's probably my number 1.
DDL has been one of my favorites ever. Haven't seen Lincoln yet, but I'll keep him in my top 3 anyways.
Joseph Gordon Levitt has been on a tear lately, posting solid performances in TKDR, Looper and Inception, so I'll put him at 3.
My favorites atm:
Daniel Day Lewis
Michael Fassbender
Bryan Cranston

I considered Waltz and JGL myself for my list. I passed on Waltz because he has only been phenomenal in 2 movies that I have seen (and both are QT movies). JGL is probably #4 for me right now. I also gave Bale and Tom Hardy some consideration (ironic that 3 of my honorary mention guys are in DKR which I really disliked). Gosling was another I considered.
Not listing christian bale is a crime.
He's 10x the actor leonardo is.
De Niro.
My only criticism of Daniel Day-Lewis is that he has done so few films. Why?
Since 2002 he has been in 5 films (7 since 1996). He turns in solid performances but his resume is not extensive. DiCaprio on the other hand has done 13 films since 02. I don't know if that is a knock on him or not?
None the less, the guy is brilliant. DiCaprio has also pushed his way to the top too. Not sure who I would put in third spot though.
I was very impressed with Bobby Cannavale in the last season of boardwalk empire...then I saw him on broadway in Glenn Gary Glenn Ross out shining Pacino on the same stage and I became a big fan....I'm seeing big things in this guys near future
Fassbennder
Bale
DiCaprio
As far as middle aged actors go, honorable mentions to Hardy, Penn and JGL. Then you have the old guys like DDD, Bardem and such. One of my favorites Ed Harris and Viggo Mortensen, both need to do some more movies.
[QUOTE=DMV2][B]I read that he makes shoes when he's not acting.[/B] Must be awesome to be able to pick and choose whenever you can work, even if it's 5 years, 10 years later.[/QUOTE]
Seriously? :oldlol: That is so random, no one would ever guess that. I assumed he might do Broadway or directing or writing or something.

I'm confused. Penn is a middle aged actor and Bardem is an old guy? And who is DDD? Did you mean DDL?

And Cranston would have probably been my number 4. I haven't seen enough movies lately to knock guys down who haven't been in much lately, so Waltz was an easy choice for me.
