[QUOTE=Myth]I'm confused. Penn is a middle aged actor and Bardem is an old guy? And who is DDD? Did you mean DDL?[/QUOTE]
Lol yea DDL. Guess Bardem falls into middle age category. I just have 3 tiers for actors, young ones in their 20s, 30-55s, and the old guys after 60+.

So how do you classify guys age 56-59? :D
[QUOTE=Myth]So how do you classify guys age 56-59? :D[/QUOTE]
The best age group, perfect mix of experience and physical prowess to fully take over a role. They are the hybrids.
I wouldn't be the best judge of "top actors" so I'll just say my favorites
DDL
Brad Pitt
Leonardo Dicaprio
Chris Hemsworth is on top of his game right now
Bardem
Bale
DiCaprio
[QUOTE=BMOGEFan]Not listing christian bale is a crime.

Even from the Batman trilogy, I like Oldman's performances better. It certainly isn't a crime to list him outside the top 3 current top 3 actors. My favorite performance of Bale's was American Psycho, but I can't base my current opinion on a movie that old if we're talking current top 3.
Ed Norton should get mentioned in here

Agreed. I think he is a good actor with great film selection and dedication to the craft. But he seems to be lacking something. I like his films but apart from American Psycho and Batman I don't remember much about his performances (and I remember him for Batman, but not Bruce Wayne). Even in The Machinist and the Fighter I don't remember much.
Although I might watch The Fighter again now, I've only seen it once.
Leo Dicaprio
Michael Fassbender
Liam Neeson
Christian Bale is right there too...

This is the reason Bale is not in my top 3. He may be one of my 3 favorite all time, but not current. His performance in the last 2 Batman movies are the worst of his career. I can't think of any great performances of his in the last couple of years outside of The Fighter (which was a great performance though).
Best actors?
Tom Hanks
Leonardo DiCaprio
Russell Crowe
Adrien Brody
Gary Oldman
Joaquin Phoenix
