philip seymour hoffman is overrated. paul giamatti is often miscast. ed norton is a tool.

chris cooper? versatile, talented, and convincing every time.

the missus says clooney has it all - comedy, drama, appeal.

You know, I fucked up - Paul's right. It's Paul Newman. It's not those other guys, though.

I'm not sure who I'd put but I really don't get why DeNiro gets such props. I love the films he's in but he seems like a character actor to me. Disclaimer: I am a young fool and have never seen Taxi driver, so maybe he used to be awesome.

Oh wait, I do know who I'd put: Michael Caine. Hoffman too, dude has range.

I always thought Yahoo Serious did pretty solid, understated work.

My vote goes to Dustin Hoffman, for sures.

You should probably see Mean Streets, too, if you haven't.

And I liked Once Upon a Time in America, but it might be an acquired taste.
