    OP is right. There are actors as in everyone else, then there is DDL. That guy is on another level. Anyone who builds a damn house for a role and lives in it, they are pretty much superhuman. His performance in There Will Be Blood is the single greatest acting performance in history. Ive said it a million times, that is Daniel Plainview playing Daniel Plainview. I dont see DDL at all in that film, he is that character so completely

    as far as other great actors, any movie with chris cooper, sean penn, brad pitt, dustin hoffman, phillip seymour hoffman, cate blanchett, meryl Streep, emile hirsch, pacino, deniro, Paul Dano, Evan Rachel Wood, naomi Watts, Benicio Del Toro i see no matter what,

    I DRINK YOUR MILKSHAKE!!! Agreed. Best performance ever.

    Philip Seymour Hoffman is up there for me too.

    Clint Eastwood. Nothing less than a complete legend.

    Honourable mentions to Robert de Niro - I didn't know it was possible to portray so much feeling with just a look (Goodfellas) - and Al Pacino.

    I'm going with Michael Dudikoff as best actor for his amazing performances in the American Ninja and Platoon Leader.

    For actress, Natalie Portman is a shoe-in. She gave birth to Luke and Leia. 'nuff said.

    Danial Day Lewis???

    Hanks is excellent and he is a great interview on talk shows.

    Jimmy Stewart. (They don't make 'em like Jimmy anymore.) Gene Hackman is my other favorite.

    Favorite and best are two different things.

    But Chris Walken is pretty high on my list. Anthony Hopkins. Ed norton. Paul Newman. Robert Duvall. Morgan Freeman. Ben Kingsly. Gary Oldman. John Malkovich. So many great actors, hard to pick one.

    But my favorite performance of all time is Robert Shaw as Quint in Jaws.

    Johnny Depp just because I like to look at him. Who cares if he can act or not.

    i agree with these

    i don't think anyone has done more with a smaller role than spacey in seven :?

    and i think rockwell is still waiting on that stand out role... but i love everything he's done so far

    In my eyes, no one compares to De Niro. His Raging Bull and Godfather II performances are ace.
