Johnny Depp. While good actors, i find DeNiro and Pacino play the same characters all the time, just in different movies.
Johnny Depp for his range of characters --- it's hard to believe it's the same person in all those roles Dustin Hoffman
If I had to pick one, I'd take Denzel Washigton. the rest in no particular order: Billy Bob Thorton Sean Penn Don Cheadle Kevin Spacey Johnny Depp Ed Norton William H. Macy Phillip Seymour Hoffman John Cusack Nicolas Cage Hugh Jackman Clint Eastwood
New School: Brad Pitt Johnny Depp Robert Downey Jr. Old School (one that are missing): Dustin Hoffman Gene Hackman Clint Eastwood
He really changes for every part, Dracula to Sid Vicious. DeNiro would get my vote with Oldman, William H. Macy, Don Cheadle, & Philip Seymour Hoffman in the pack right behind him.
JERRY: Satisfied? ELAINE: Hey, you know what? You wanna go see that new Meryl Streep movie? JERRY: Meryl Streep? ELAINE: You don't like her? JERRY: Ah, she's okay. ELAINE: I love her Jerry, she's so authentic. I really believe everything is actually happening to her. There's no acting there. JERRY: Yeah. You don't want coffee or anything do you? ELAINE: I really admire actors, you know. It's just such an incredible skill. JERRY: Yeah, yeah, can we get off of this? ELAINE: What's the matter? JERRY: Nothing. ELAINE: You're not still thinking about that are you? JERRY: Nooo. ELAINE: Oh good. JERRY: Give me another shot! ELAINE: What? JERRY: Another shot, I want another shot. ELAINE: You mean...? JERRY: Yes!
