Cool story... But DeNiro was not on Scarface

I voted for DeNiro but all 3 are great but I would include Morgan Freeman in this group of great actors !

I consider Gene Hackman the greatest American actor of all time. Bonnie & Clyde, I never sang for my father, The French Connection, The poseidon adventure, The Conversation, Young Frankenstein, Superman, Uncommon Valor, Hoosiers, No Way Out, BAT 21, Mississippi Burning, Unforgiven, The Firm, Crimson Tide, Get Shorty, Absolute Power (so good), Enemy of the State, Heist, The royal tenenbaums ... just so many good roles where he does such a great job.

For this, I voted for Jack. I agree with another poster who said that Al is a little over the top in most of his roles. Worked well in Scarface and some others but it gets a bit too unrealistic at times.

Jack Nicholson because he's a bit more versitile in roles. He can do comedy, drama, horror, thrillers, etc. he can do it all and pull it off well. Robert DeNiro to me just seems a bit out of place when he does comedy. Pacino also not that great with comedy.
