I'm sorry, but with Mel he's sort of like Harrison, what you see is what you get, not a lot of range. He's good, and I like him don't get me wrong, but I just don't thinks he's above Depp, Penn, Robbins, or even Eastwood.

How in the HELL is Nicholson above Pacino?! even if it is just one number... but still!

Secondary choice; DeNiro. Deer hunter kicked ass.

Agree with you about Nicholson, I mean he's great, but great at playing "Nicholson".

I'm liking Richard Dreyfuss, Gene Hackman, Michael Caine.

Also, Clint for being "Clint"...love those old westerns. And Sean for being "Bond, James Bond".

[Broncofan-13]

I agree on sean, IMO, he was the best bond of em all

[THE SHIELD]

I took Jack at #1 because he has more nominations than any other, plus with great roles in "Easy Rider" "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest", "The Shining", "Terms of Endearment", "As Good as it Gets", and "About Schmidt", sorry but there is no other actor who can come up with a resume quite like that! Although Pacino is a very close second, with mesmerizing roles in "Dog Day Afternoon" , "Scarface" and "Scent of a Woman".

[dandaman23]

I dont like Jack Nicholson. Al Pacino was great in Scarface. Best movie of all time, IMO.

I know what your saying, he was great in all of those movies, but essentially he was still playing himself in them, you know Jack the loveable old rogue with the straight to hell smile.
