3 Johnny Depp
John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II is an American actor, producer, and musician. He has won the Golden Globe Award and Screen Actors Guild Award for Best Actor.
His role in a movie is often rather big. His character is often on the "loopy side" and his character being in a darker state of mind, etc.

His role in a movie is often rather big. His character is often on the "loopy side" and his character being in a darker state of mind, etc. Johny Depp has starred in many brilliant movies including rango, Scissorhands and the most famous of all "the pirates of the carribean series and the latest comedy, dark shadows.
It was a hard decision but I have to say Johnny. He can play any character perfectly. Great as jack sparrow - dragonfly99
Every character he plays is THE SAME. He is always a freaky weirdo and has no charisma or emotion in his acting.
He's great!

Daniel Craig is an amazing actor. Aside from the James Bond series his acting in Defiance and The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo (adaptation) were excellent. Although I did not like the movies themselves he was good at Dream House and Cowboys vs Aliens.
Well now... You can't beat those eyes.

Great actor! Has been chosen for many films, series and episodes now that's saying something he was the doctor for 4 years, featured in doctor who, broad church and the escape artist!

Talented and my favorite doctor.
9 Robert De Niro
The most amazing actor of our generation.
10 Tom Hardy
He is one of the most talented actors of this generation! He is such a versatile actor. Every movie that he is been in has been worth watching just to see him act. First film of his that I watched was "Stuart a life backwards" and since then I have watched all and will continue to watch any film that he is in. :D
He should be top three. Liam neeson should nit be on the list. Hardy is the top method actor of the past 20 years
