I didn't love that film as much as a lot of people did but he was very good in it. I still haven't seen that last film he was in yet but It hasn't got great reviews

Ewan Mcgregor is a bit meh for me..

You like pretty boys, not the great actors. Really, DiCaprio cant act.

Correct! But we're talking acting ability here, not looks

[Niamh.]

yeah I'm not a big fan of Christian Bale either Mojo, his voice in Batman bugs the crap out of me too

Nah, DiCaprio sucks, sounds like a whining teenboy when he did try to be old Howard Hughes.

[Lee.]

Oh there's a thing.. just to add to Leo's great performances; The Basketball Diaries!

He does like roles where he dies at the end though doesn't he??

[Lee.]

Oh that Irish actor that's been in about a million films but for some reason, I don't think I've ever seen him in a leading role.. Brendan Gleeson?

He's a brilliant actor!

Tommy Lee Jones
Denzel Washington

Cillian Murphy

good ones, though Denzel to me always plays the same character and he's never likeable (for me anyway) no matter what role he's in he has this superiority thing going on

[fruit_cake]

hi everyone haven't had much time to post on this forum lately, I agree with happy about Daniel Day Lewis, what a great film that is, one of my favourites, In the Name of the Father.. sadly the actor who played Guiseppe (Pete Postlethwaite) has died tho just in case anyone didn't know

[Niamh.]

oh em Alan Rickman

[Locke.]

Oh yeah forgot about Denzel Washington, definitely one of the best

I sense I have angered you by saying I find Dicaprio to be a fine young actor? This thread is not meant to anger anybody.. it is a discussion about modern day actors and DiCaprio happens to one of mine, which is MY OPINION; surely having differing opinions equates to healthy debate?

If you still find yourself furious, you should maybe take up meditation or something? It seriously isn't good for your health to get angry over a debate re actors

[MojoNixon]

Danny Trejo! Kinda joke
