I like Daniel Day Lewis a lot. Leo DiCaprio has surprised me with how far he's come since Titanic.

Here's my top 2 and I rank them pretty close together.

Tom Hanks & Will Smith - They both do something that most actors can't or won't do and that's do comedy and drama both VERY well.

The best right now is Daniel Day Lewis. He is in his prime.

There have been better before him, but not right now.

What has Daniel Day Lewis even been in? I looked him up on IMDB.com...and he has 4 movies in the past 12 years. I don't understand why he's mentioned so much on this thread.

What has Daniel Day Lewis done that's so special?

I did see There will be blood, which was good, but I didn't think he did anything so much better than anyone else. His character seemed a lot like his character in Gang's of New York. (Which was also good)

I'd probably have to go with Philip Seymour Hoffman. While I haven't seen all of his movies, in the ones I have, he truly immerses himself in his roles.

1. Clint Eastwood (2)
2. Johnny Depp (8)
3. Denzel Washington (1)

Quality not quantity...Have you seen There Will Be Blood? Gangs Of New York? He steals the screen every time he is on it and literally makes you believe you are watching who he is portraying..Just watch TWBB and tell me you don't get a chub.
