    Question Greatest and most versatile actors/actresses

    I start this thread from the "greatest living actor."

    So, my thoughts. Who do you consider the greatest and most amazing actors and actresses of all tme.

    I (selfishly) want to keep my opinions to myself for the time being, until I hear from others.

    I look forward to your thoughts.

    I didn't think it was time to start a "poll," since there are potentially so many. After some responses, perhaps a poll of the favorites might be appropriate.

    Here's my lists. I went with actors that when I watch them I don't always recognize them for who they are. As an example, I could put Helen Hunt on my list of actresses, I like her in most of what she's in, but she's always Helen Hunt. The ones I've listed have a bit more range I think.
    Actresses
    • Meryl Streep
    • Diane Keaton
    • Uma Thurman
    • Reece Witherspoon
    • Charlize Theron


    Actors
    • Johhny Depp
    • John C Reily
    • Philip Seymour Hoffman
    • William H Macy
    • Alan Rickman

    Meryl Streep

    She inhabits the character she's playing.

    The Deer Hunter
    Kramer vs. Kramer
    The French Lieutenant's Woman
    *Sophie's Choice
    Silkwood
    Out of Africa
    Ironweed
    A Cry In The Dark
    Postcards From The Edge
    The Bridges of Madison County
    One True Thing
    Music Of The Heart
    The Devil Wears Prada
    Mamma Mia

    (and these are just the ones which garnered her major award nominations)

    *Sophie was my favorite of all the roles that Meryl Streep has played.

    Hi,

    IMO, if he can get/keep it together, Downey has incredible talent and is highly versatile.

    Best regards,
    Jeffrey

    In my book, there's Bette Davis, then everybody else.

    Many good answers here, but my favorite (and one of the coolest people who ever lived) is Cary Grant.
