I know these shows can never be taken seriously being heavily biased towards current stars and all, although thats a pretty good top 10. personally i'd have pacino and de-niro in front of depp, solely on the amount of work they have done on screen compared with depp so far... but as ever with these lists was a bit puzzled how for example kate winslett and helena bonham carter could be regarded as better actresses as bette davis and vivian leigh etc etc
I really love Johnny Depp, but was a bit dissapointed that the whole De Niro/Pacino debate was side stepped by putting them equal, I suppose it is personal taste in the end, they both have done some truly fantastic acting so I suppose in the end they are both equal. At least Johnny Depp has many years left to impress even more andI do like the fact that he does not do the whole Hollywood thing as De Niro/Pacino seem to avoid.
You couldnt really argue with the top 10, its all subjective isnt, its order is very debateable though, for me, at his peak, De Niro was amazing. However I think at the moment Sean Penn is easily the greatest actor of his generation. Johnny Depp!!, yeah hes very watchable, but his films are a touch lightweight. Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! Also James Cagney deserves a real mention, a true superstar with magnetic presence on screen.
patc7641 I agree, De Niro is a real favourite of mine but Rocky and Bullwinkle??, I have to mask that from my mind ha ha. On the nose withe Sean Penn, Mystic River was a really moving film and so well acted by all the cast.
