    LOL
    Rent "Old School", That will change your mind.
    Lately he has been kinda stale but I think the guy is funny.
    Kicking and screaming? "I took a punch from Mike Ditka and did not go down. Sure I wobbled a bit but I did not go down.
    Classic. LOL

    Old School was funny because he wasnt the main character. He's good in small chunks, not when he has to carry a film.

    Johnny Depp - Great in just about everything, and definitely willing to take risks.

    Kevin Spacey - Usual Suspects, American Beauty...

    Tom Hanks - obvious choice

    Ed Norton - American History X, Rounders, and 25th hour

    Ed Harris - Terribly underrated... amazing in Pollock, Truman Show, etc...

    Russell Crowe - always good, absolutely amazing in A Beautiful Mind

    Morgan Freeman - Great actor, but probably the best narrating voice ever. The guy could read a phone book and make it sound interesting.

    De Nero - too many to list

    I'm sure there are many that I missed.

    Some missing:

    Denzel Washington

    Christian Bale

    Dustin Hoffman

    I'm going to add Val Kilmer strictly for his role of Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Now that is a classic.
