Best actors (of your generation)

Ryan Gosling. Period

The most obvious one missing would have to be Leonardo di Caprio. His roles in What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Marvin's Room, a Boy's Life, and Basketball Diaries are all excellent.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman is really great.

I think Michael Imperiolli is tremendously talented.

I like Steve Buscemi, and I do believe that actor Joseph Gordon Levitt is rather good.

Why not?

Some really great actors, including DeNiro, think Dicaprio is among the most talented of his generation. Have you seen any of the movies I listed?

I dont see how of your generation seems fair if you have seen their movies....

My generation would be: Ryan Gosling, Emile Hirsche, Jake Gylenhaal, Leonardo Dicaprio, Matt Damon
For women: I cannot think of any simply from their acting.
There are probably more however I cannot name them.

Pure Acting from movies I have seen: Leonardo DiCaprio, Jack Nicholson, Kevin Spacey, Tom Hanks, Sean Penn, Dustin Hoffman, Ray Fiennes as a villain


People I enjoy watching and I think are good: All the ones from the pure acting, Clooney, Pitt, Crowe, Damon, Pacino, De Niro...

For women it has nothing to do with acting for the most part. I cant think of as many women from an acting standpoint...

I think from an acting standpoint he can play more roles than anyone else in his generation...

Yea,
Im 21..I couldnt really think of any in my generation so I included everyone from Emile Hirsche to DiCaprio...

I am not going to argue you even though I think DiCaprio deserves a spot up there. Those two actors are really really good. Christian Bales played so many different and weird roles and hes killed em all...

Bale is definitely a very good actor, I usually like him way better than the movies he stars in, he's one of the few american actors who can elevate a picture.
