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. I have seen nobody acted like him realistically as he does in pirate's series
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

Edward Thomas Hardy, CBE is an English actor and film producer. Originally a model, Hardy made his film debut in Ridley Scott’s Black Hawk Down. 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
Love watching anything Tom Hardy is in! Just loved him in "Taboo" & it was not an 'easy watch'!
He’s the best actor ever!

It's a shame I had to scroll down to the 20th spot to find Brad Pitt.

His career has included critical and popular success in his youth, followed by a period of substance abuse and legal troubles, and a resurgence of commercial success in middle age. I love how easily he can go from comedy to drama from one scene to another.
He just has that perfect timing to do both genres. Very few actors can do that.
He is the best obviously
This list makes no sense. Robert should be the No. 1!
Channing Matthew Tatum is an American actor and dancer. Tatum made his film debut in the drama film Coach Carter. Amazing actor not to mention he was voted 'Sexiest Man Alive' which every women would agree with! Gorgeous body and that man can dance!
