Top 10 Best Actors of the 2000s

Not only is he batman but Christian bale has rocked the 2000s. He was brilliant in American Psycho and the mechanic. Bonus points for his role in The Fighter.

For this decade.. Christian bale for sure...
Amazing actor, complete dedication towards his roles.. Most importantly he has picked all the right scripts..

He should be on the top of the list. Actually his style is far better than the others on this list. "He Is King Of Hollywood"

Total beast the dark knight is definitely my favorite movies ever

ACTION, Comedy, Drama...
I was actually making the list of the things he can do, but it would be easier to make a list of what he can't do...
Overacting, make you hate him, and other things which most of the actors do, but not BOURNE...

A veteran character actor who delivers.

Damon is the best

Bourne Movies, Ocean Movies, The Departed, The Good Shepherd, and The Legend of Bagger Vance.

He deserves to be number one! I mean Matt Damon, come on! Orlando Bloom totally dominates him! He's hot + such an amazing actor!

Pirates of the Caribbean, Lord of the Rings, Kingdom of Heaven, Ned Kelly, Elizabethtown, Haven, Calcium Kid, etc.

THE HOBBIT
LORD OF THE RINGS
PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN

Johnny Depp is the best Character actor in history, in my opinion. He is not like Nicholas Cage or Will Smith (One of my favorites) as he can play any roll, no mater how odd, as if it was a completely different person playing the part.

Pirates of the Caribbean Movies, Finding Neverland, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and Sweeney Todd.

Really Awesome. My favorites with him are Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and Rango.

He is the best actor ever, I love him and he can be so convertible in all different movies he is perfect😍❤

Since he came onto the scene he cranked it up, in the name of the king, safe, transporter 1&2, crank, Italian job, the expendables, the mechanic,

One of the most diverse actors of the 21st century. Ledger was only in the industry for a short number of years but managed to create outstanding performances that many actors cannot come close to achieving, even with 10 times the experience. even people like Michael Caine and Gary Oldman, who are also phenomenal and experienced actors, talked about how blown away they were by his talent. the man had 2 oscar nominations (one of which he won) in the span of just 2 years, and his career was only beginning. if he hadn’t tragically passed away I can only imagine what he would be doing now. RIP

Seriously, how can one pick Depp over Heath Ledger? That's wrong! Ledger's acting abilities are so much more than Depp and his PR team can ever have.

This man was such an insanely good actor. It's so awful that he died! I hate that I can't see more of his acting.

He was overall in my opinion the best actor who ever lived... RIP Heath Ledger- You Will Not Be Forgotten.

4 brothers such an awesome movie

Best actor of the 2000s is it not? , most of the movies of his people talk about are from before then, there is no way his 2000s roles should be above Leonardo DiCaprio

Excellent young actor who has slowed down with time.

REALLY GOOD. I love his character as Woody in Toy Story

Fight club, Seven, Snatch, Oceans trilogy, A river runs through it, Moneyball, Tree of Life, those movies are AWESOME and he is the reason that those movies are awesome and that is the reason that I voted for him.

Really good actor

I love brad pitt

Snatch, Babel, Troy, Ocean Movies, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

A well rounded character actor. It will be interesting to see what Will chooses to do with his veteran years.

Very good in men in black 2 and very good also in I am lengend

Good in everything he does!

Best actor ever

Just watch Nighycrawler.. You'll know the kind of greatness that he is headed towards...

Cruise stamped his persona as a star by churning out many hit movies in the new millennium, be it his death defying stunts in the mission Impossible movies or his epic performance in the last samurai, he showed versatility. And who could forget his role of bad ass vincent in collateral, one that is highly underrated but one of the best of all time...

Leonardo has successfully changed hats on more than one occasion in his career. Strikes me as a hard worker.

What how is he not number 1, compare all of his 2000s movies to anyone else on this list and it's clear he is better.

Best actor

This man belongs necessarily on this list. He's the best!

I love Robert 3000

Ocean Movies, Syriana, Michael Clayton, Good Night and Good Luck.

Denzel is one of the best. Unfortunately, Hollywood always has him in violent homicidal roles that do not play to his true talents. Shame really.

he's the man. I love his movies, especially John Q

Remember the Titans, Training Day, American Gangster, and Inside Man.

There are a lot of great actors on this list, but I have to vote for Russell Crowe. He can either make you cheer him on or wish he were dead - and for that, I CHEER HIM ON! I can't vote for Johnny Depp because he's already so high on this list... But Orlando Bloom? Come ON! Russell Crowe should be Number One with Depp, Smith, Bale, Damon, and the One and Only Vin Diesel right behind him!

One of the greatest actors of our time. LA Confidential, Insider, Gladiator, Beautiful Mind, Cinderella Man, Master and Commander... who else could put together such an exceptional string of films all dependent on his strong character and exceptional talent.

Russell is a character actor with limits. He is wonderful when portraying fictional roles. Not as solid with sci fi themes.

Gladiator, A Beautiful MInd, Cinderella Man, 3:10 to Yuma.

I don't have to list all his movies... Just watch "The Wolverine" (2013)... You'll Understand

Anchorman, Old School, Talladega Nights, Elf.
