We started with 32 actors and now we are down to 8. Robert DeNiro, Denzel Washington, Jack Nicholson, Kevin Spacey, Al Pacino, Dustin Hoffman, Paul Newman, and Robert Duvall. I was surprised that a couple actors did not make it but you can't argue with this list too much. Personally I don't feel Kevin Spacey belongs here because I feel he was very overrated in American Beauty and his best performaces have been in supporting roles (Usual Suspects, Seven). Now it is down to 8 and I need the help of the blogcatalog community to help me get it down to 4. All you have to do is go to www.cinemacup.com and vote by leaving a comment. You comment I will follow. =)

Christopher Walken is most upset. This injustice shall not stand!

Edit: voted for all....but Walken is still displeased.

The two grandest film legends of all time: Jimmy Cagney and Humphrey Bogart.

Don't left Marlon Brando. He's definitely the best actor of all time. His acting is benchmark to other actors's acting quality for many years.

Other great actors in my personal list are Lee Strasberg (acting guru who play as jewish gangster Hyman Roth in The Godfather II), Humphrey Bogart, Al Pacino, and Laurence Olivier.
