It's strange that someone mentioned Terrence Howard. I think he's probably in top 5 actors working today.
Who in the heck said Hoffman? I hope that was just a personal preference thing. If not, that person needs to be locked in a room with nothing but a TV/DVD and the following: The Graduate Midnight Cowboy Lenny Marathon Man Straw Dogs Tootsie Rainman Hook Straight Time Easily one of the top 10 all time.
I agree, but he has been phoning it in for the last 20 years. He was great in Meet The Fockers, though.
Exactly. Proof? Awakenings. And even though DeNiro was great, Robin Williams did probably his best acting job ever- never once fell back into his comic schtick. A great movie just for the acting alone.
