    Who are the other "heavy hitters"?

    Leo is a current S tier actor/star. Few are in that category.

    I don’t know how good his acting is but he picks great movies and he absolutely crushed Wolf Of Wall Street.

    yeah he is.

    I think from his generation I would go with Christian Bale as far as pound for pound acting talent. Leo is a movie star who can act, but Bale has always taken more risks in the roles he's chosen. Leo is very one note tbh. Lots of emoting, etc.

    Wtf y’all smoking?? I don’t care about a good actor in “ok” movies. If he/she is good as they are proclaimed to be then the movies would be Major hits. That’s not the case. LEO is hands down one of the best actors of the last decade or more. Just check the movie list!! Christian bale???? Lol

    Agree. Leo's last risk was kind of his first, right? Gilbert Grape?

    I guess he thought Revenant was risky, but only in terms of the literal filming. Haha.

    20-24 years and not a year older.

    That is how he rates them.

    The last time Kurt Russell played a different character was in The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes.

    Kurt Russell was MORE KURT RUSSELL playing a living+talking PLANET in Guardians of the Galaxy 2 than Kevin Bacon was Kevin BaconY, playing KEVIN BACON in Guardians of the Galaxy XMAS.
