Which of today's actors would you classify as brilliant?
Just rewatched Philip Seymour Hoffman in Capote and Scent of a Woman. This guy is one of the greatest actors of our time, right there with Daniel Day Lewis.

Stephen Seagal. I now know what heaven is like after watching Under Siege 2: Dark Territory.
|
Pauly Shore
|
Phillip Seymour Hoffman was awesome in Almost Famous.
|
I thought Tom Green was brilliant in "Freddy Got Fingered"
|
John C. Reilly is pretty good, though he's tarnished himself some with lame comedies.
|
Paul Giamatti
Chris Cooper |
Richard Greco
Thread Ovah!!! |
Depends...
I think if you take into account decisions on what they will be in, as well as acting skill, you'd have to put Hanks at the top of the list. But you'd also have to add Clooney, Pitt and Damon, simpy because every movie they are in (IMO) is pretty damn good. They don't simply play "themselves" in every movie, either. |
AFAIC, Tom Hanks does play himself in every movie.
|
Johnny Depp has to make the list. And while he makes some strange choices, I've always been a big fan of Morgan Freeman. George Clooney's really solid, too.
Strange as it is to say, Will Smith is really developing into something. |

Forrest Gump Michael Sullivan Chuck Noland John H Miller... To me these were all very divergent characters, which Hanks played completely differently. Did he still come through in all of them to an extent? Yeah, he did. But he certainly wasn't plaing himself in all those, IMO. |
