well,
at least your selection was in the same film as the greatest actor to ever live.
The Score.

Edward Norton is the greatest actor to ever be seen on film.
the more I watch his movies, the more I realize its not even close.
he has no peers.

yeah,
his skills have not diminished, but his choices sure have.
he has done just some plain terrible movies with horrible scripts.
sometimes when watching his recent films, all you can think about is how on earth did this great actor ever think this could be a decent film.
same goes for Dinero, chris walken, and dustin hoffman.

yeah,
thats what I mean,
these guys like Pacino and Walken are as good as ever.
do a great job with the terrible roles they choose for themselves.

I guess not everyone can age like Clint Eastwood.
his directorial accomplishments have given him some help in the later years,
but this guy is the master at making good decisions.
he knows when there is a role for him in his films(Unforgiven, Million Dollar Baby) and when there is not(Mystic River, Flags of Our Fathers).

He is the best director alive and still one of the best actors alive.

if I had to rank current actors-
1.Ed Norton
.
.
.
.
.
2.Johhny Depp
3.Leaonardo DiCaprio
4.Tom Hanks
5.Paul Newman(watch his work in Empire Falls- he is as good as ever)


top actresses-
1.Natalie Portman(finest girl on earth probably, but can also act)
2.Julianne Moore
3.Jena Malone
4.Scarlett Johannson
5.Nicole Kidman
