The great actors of our time
#8399377 - 05/14/08 02:14 AM (5 years, 12 days ago) |

Me and my girl are having a psilocybin/whisky fueled discussion about the great actors of our time. We are having a difficult time thinking about more actors that are great beyond just learning their lines, as well as having the right mannerisms; the actors that can bring a character to life.
This is what we have: (in no particular order of course)
Phillip Seymour Hoffman Val Kilmer Guy Pearce Gary Oldman Kevin Spacey Daniel Day-Lewis Gary Sinise Peter O'Toole
Honerable Mentions: Ewan McGreggor Johnny Depp Brad Pitt Joaquin Phoenix Cate Blanchett Alan Rickman
Cate is the only female actors we can think of, and possibly Julianne Moore.
Anyone care to contribute?

When I saw your name as the last reply I was hoping to see Gary Sinise. I'm glad you delivered.

i disagree with some of the names mentioned, but thats ok...
you know who i think is a great actor, probably my favorite actor, very underrated, john turturro. fantastically expressive
what does 'our time' mean? like anyone who is alive now? or someone of a younger generation? cause no ones said robert deniro or al pacino, theyr pretty old, but i think everyone would agree that theyr great
of the younger folks id have to say ed norton. american history x alone would earn him a spot on my list
im sure theres a ton of other great actors i love, but i just got off working a 10 hour shift and im smoking a blunt, so my thinkings not too sharp

It's common knowledge that Jewunit is an umemployed drain on society, supposedly attending some university that nobodies ever heard of.
He may in fact, be a literal bum, only able to make himself known to us here by occasionally stopping into dark internet cafes to make a few quick, frantic posts before the owners force him to leave because of the stench of rotting vegetables and desperation wafting forth from his pores.
