Two great actors battle it out in round 2. Robert DeNiro one of the greatest method actors of our time made his name by playing very troubled characters with director Martin Scorsese. He is a six time academy award nominee and two time winner. However you can make an argument that DeNiro has been type casted as a mobster, which he has never been able to get away from. Anthony Hopkins came out of the British Academy of Film and Television Arts and has had great success in stage, television, and film. He made a big name for himself in the Silence of the Lambs and never looked back, playing a wide range of characters he has established himself as one of the greatest actors ever. This one will be a hard one to call. To vote just go to my site www.cinemacup.com and leave a comment!

DeNiro Often played characters that were often prone to brutal violence and/or characters who were borderline psychotics. Known for method acting techniques with his characters by heavily studying their backgrounds

I love Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs but I have to go with DeNiro. I feel he is overrated now but his early work will never be forgotten. The last great work DeNiro did was.......HEAT? That was like 12 years ago.
