We're down to the Top 6 /tv/. Let's settle this once and for all.
Who is objectively, the greatest actor alive today?
>inb4 classic Paul Dano
>>69133680
I love classicman but it has to be Joaquin
Eric Roberts.
>Tom Hanks
Fuck off with that shit.
Classic Dano and DDL all the way
>all anglo
pleb board
>>69133720
Paul pls go
>>69133823
>joaquin phoenix
>anglo

>>69133680
Who the fuck voted for Tom Hanks??
Mark Rylance isn't on the list so I go DDL with Joaquin a close second
Anyway the answer is Kevin fucking Spacey. Go back and watch American Beauty again if you disagree.
>>69133680
>We're down
>we
>>69133823
>>69133878
nvm i looked it up, was born in Puerto Rico but is half english half eastern european

Gotta go with Joaquin Pheonix.
Also feel like he's quite unknown to a lot of people, which sucks
>>69133680
obviously Gary Oldman.
>>69133680
What is this piece of shit Spacey even doing here?
>>69133680
>No Mads
>>69133680
Jaququ Paheenis

DDL or Old Man

'nein'
>>69133680

>>69134077
FAX PISS
>>69133680
>Asking about actors only
>Posts 5 actors and a president
>Tom Hanks and Kevin Spacey but no Ralph Fienes
Shit list. Dano is better than those two and hes a meme entry.
>>69133680
>no Robert Duvall
>no Timothy Spall
>no Bill Murray
>no third rhyme
It's Joaquin Phoenix, why are we even having this discussion?
>no Michael Shannon
lol
>>69135286
Could Joaquín Phoenix play Captain Ahab?
>>69133680
The half Jew one
>>69133777
>yfw you're making your first indie film
>Just about to charge your DSLR batteries when Eric Roberts materialises in front of you
>"LOVE THE MOVIE IDEA I'M IN!"
>He asks for his usual pay, 2 Zimbabwean dollars, a moist toilette from KFC and a dollar store block of chocolate
I'll show the the film when it's done
>>69135337
He absolutely could. He could play any character.
Not particularly "the greatest", but definitely top tier:
>Fassbender
>Isaac
>Classic Dano
>Phoenix
>Casey Affleck
They've all showcased at least one flawless role.
Pic related.

>>69133680
Morrissey
>>69134104
Paul Dano will reach PSH levels in a few years.
>>69133680
How on earth is Gary Oldman and Paul Dano on this list, yet Dustin Hoffman is not?
>>69133680
Daniel Day Lewis imo. He's practically used as a shorthand for someone being able to transform themselves entirely into someone else.
As much as I like all these other actors I think that's the kind of measuring stick you need to use. I think Phoenix and Oldman are tied for 2nd/3rd. But its been a while since I've seen spacey in anything but house of cards.
Classic.
