I dont think there is such thing as best actor. All the world is a stage

Ok talking about Marlon Brandon you answered my unwritten question.

Dead Sir Laurence Oliver, Gregory Peck, Henry Fonda, Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, Humphrey Bogart, John Mills, Sir John Gueilgood (sp).

Alive Ben Kingsley, Anthony Hopkins, Meryl Streep, Kathy Bates.

Living? I'd have to say Johnny Depp. He's extremely versatile, totally natural, and a truly great actor.

My personal favorites are Cary Grant (he usually played the same role, but shows his flexibility of style in "Father Goose," which is a really great movie,) Laurence Olivier, Gregory Peck, Yul Brynner (also as a stage actor,) and Peter Sellers.

Actress: Katherine Hepburn and Myrna Loy!

Alan Rickman, bar none.

Here's why: he moves like a cat, does wonderful things with his face and hands, growls, purrs, and keeps the audience dangling off every snarl. This is a gent who can say more with one raised eyebrow then other actors do with ten pages of script, and for bonus points, he's blonde, tall, and very easy on the eyes. (Did I really say that?) Not to mention that while he may not actually own the voice of God, he's certainly taking it out for a nice long stroll, and what with that gorgeous English accent too ... I ask you: who could resist?

I also love the fact he came to acting so late in life after a successful career as a graphic artist, as well as the way he takes his craft seriously and has paid his dues.

Oddly enough, it may be Mel Gibson. He has a tortured soul, and it comes through with great power and intensity - watch him in Hamlet - watch him in Braveheart. He gives those characters a life that we become one with, and feel their pain, their anger, grief, joy, and guilt, and the sense of honor that guides them.

Yet the man himself still searches for that guidance.

Someone mentioned Brando as best actor in the now dead category. But at best he was just an oddly facinating little short eccentric supplicant for approbation

Denzel Washington. He could make reading the phone book interesting.

John Wayne. Actually, he never acted a day in his life, but he had the screen presence to take every scene he was in.

Sir Laurence Olivier. 'nuff said.

You said 'is' anf Brando is dead. He was a fine actor though. I like Gerard Depardieau - but I prefer European acting to American. I will make an exception for Al Pacino.
