Dude, that's not even my opinion, that's the opinion of his peers.
Look it up.
Not even close.
The greatest character actor living right now is Vincent D'Onofrio.
Having said that.
Pacino
Nicholson
De Niro
Michael Caine
Denzell Washington
Johnny Depp
Harrison Ford
Tom Cruise
Nick Cage
Tom Hanks
Hoffman
All say hello.
Now do we want to get into the old timers, like Brando, Tracy, Fonda, Jimmy Stewart, Clark Gable etc. etc. etc.?
Now do we want to get into actresses, since they are techincally actors?
Please, that PoS DiCapprio has been nominated for three Oscars, won zero.
Compare that murderer Leo's resume to Hanks and get back to me.
Top ten ever.

Sean Penn > Vincent D'Onofrio.
1. Carlito's Way
2. IAM Sam
3. Fast times at Ridgmonte high
4. MILK
5. Colors
Hard to tell it's all the same guy. Unbelievable talent here.
Knew I'd get some flack for listing Fight Club, but I stand by it. Highly underated film. The directing in the film is amongst the best.
yep there's plenty more i left off those ones I picked due to variance in the charactersHow about:
Mystic River
Dead Man Walking
He's well known for those two films.
Can't believe people are fighting over this discussion.
Gamblers get very heated over this kind of stuff.Can't believe people are fighting over this discussion.
I actually thought the thread was a joke. Great movie and great actor are two VERY different things. Depp, Pacino, DeNiro, Penn, Norton, Malkovich, Hanks, Connery...all of those guys are better. Even the racist Mel Gibson kicks his ass.
What about Full Metal Jacket.
D'Onofrio is the best character actor in the game today according to his peers, that's documetented.
You have no idea what you are talking about, if you did, you would have known that.
