Who <i>is</i> the greatest actor of our age?

[(Anonymous)]

Personally, I'm coming up blank, can't even think of a decent candidate. But do you have someone you think would be a candidate for "greatest actor of our age"? And which role(s) convinces you of their greatness?

So, Gary Oldman, Tilda Swinton, Michael Cranston, Sam Rockwell, Daniel Day Lewis, and Cate Blanchett come to mind as actors with roles that are extremely varied but where they fully become each character.

I think it depends on how you define "our age"?

Some people here are old enough to be my parents and some people here are young enough to be my nieces/nephews, lol.

I think the greatest American actor is Pacino but he hasn't been doing serious work for a long time.

I think breaking it down into decades would be easier to answer.

Like "greatest actors of the 90s" for example and you can go by who was peaking during that particular time.

But the 90s weren't part of the "entertainment age" I experienced because I was like 5 years old.

Jack Black. Without a doubt. I knew once I saw Jumanji and didn't doubt for a second that he was a teenaged girl.

In all seriousness though that performance was amazing.

I am not joking. I legit saw him as a teenaged girl; he did such an amazing job.

Jared Harris and Jeremy Strong are two big contenders, IMO.

Robin Williams, Maggie Smith, Ian McKellan are some names that come to mind

I’d add Imelda Staunton onto your list. She is phenomenal and I knew that but she was so amazing when I saw her on stage that it totally blew me away.

Meryl Streep - Kramer vs. Kramer, Postcards from the Edge, Death Becomes Her, The Devil Wears Prada, Julie & Julia, Florence Foster Jenkins

I haven't been into films and TV shows (much less theatre) so my guesses are probably not the best.

I would say Bryan Cranston is close to hitting the mark.

He's worked in the industry for a long time. He has been insanely successful in both comedy and drama. He's garnered a lot of critical acclaim as well as is an audience darling.
Projects he's worked on are interesting. He's not above doing commercial work when selecting projects.
I believe he has directly and indirectly influenced many actors and will continue to do so for who knows how long.

Similarly, Viola Davis is also a well regarded actor with a good resume.

I also feel like they're actors who really get into their roles but aren't weirdly annoying about it (looking at you Leonardo Dicaprio - I have issues with him as a Hollywood actor too).
