When I think of great actors, none of those come to mind.

Great actors are people like Anthony Hopkins, Morgan Freeman, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino, etc...

Those are all good actors, except not quite on par with the legends on my list.

Look at the versatility of Harrison Ford's roles. Space Pilot, Detective, Archeologist, Mercenary, Author, Presidential Advisor. I could go on and on.

Action movie stars are so underrated in their versatility. The most underrated actor in regards to his versatility ever is Mr. T. He played a boxer, taxi-cab driver, mercenary, among other roles. It's too bad he never made a movie as John Wayne's sidekick in a Western.

Harrison Ford plays Harrison Ford
John Wayne played John Wayne
Sylvester Stallone plays Sylvester Stallone

Makes for interesting movies but not great acting

To call Arnold Schwartzeneggar an actor is kind of a stretch. Considering the guy could barely string enough words together to make a coherent sentence. ...

Peter Lorre

Boris Karloff

 

[Oddball]

Paul Newman
Grace Kelly
Bill Murray (laugh all you want, the guy has proved he can do characters)
Robin Williams
George C Scott
Peter Sellers
Judy Garland
Robert Redford

If you're looking for range and depth, Johnny Depp, Meryl Streep.

 

[gipper]

Laurence Olivier
Kirk Douglas
Charlton Heston
Jimmy Stewart
Gregory Peck
Robert Mitchum
Henry Fonda
Gary Cooper
William Holden
Burt Lancaster

That is a good list but we need to add Cary Grant, Jack Nickelson, Tom Hanks, James Cagney, and Clark Gable.

Robert DeNiro

Maybe.

When Depp is not playing campy cartoon characters, he is very good
Streep can play anything

You really think running this same joke over and over works huh. Amazing powers of nonobservation.

I think the "funny"s you get are because we don't have a "pathetic" button.

Rooney

Garfield

Patrick Swayze - Roadhouse scene: "I ain't got 20 bucks"

Sam Elliott is better

Streep can play anything

Jack Sparrow was a very good campy cartoon character. I thought, anyway.

Arnold Schwarzenegger speaks 6 languages.

I submit Christopher Waltz playing the cheerful head Nazi in Inglorious Basterds. It's the most deliciously mind-*******, complex villain performance since Hannibal Lecter. Speaking of which, Anthony Hopkins in the Silence/Lambs is my other all-time favorite acting performance.
