1. Sean Penn?
Duvall's awesome. I like Tim Robbins very much in some things. Malcovich is a little overrated but still excellent. But Sean Penn? For what? Carlito's Way? LOL

7. I'm not sure about that
But even if he is, who cares? Nobody's voting him into elective office; he's still the best damn movie actor active today.

4. so many, but gary oldman rocks
Edited on Sat Nov-15-03 11:34 PM by kodi
he can do anything.

to me the best are those who can do comedy as well as drama and those actors/actresses are few and far between, my guess is jeff bridges and oldman are about the best at being able to do both.

12. So many greats: Norton, Denzel, Pacino, Rush, Keanu, Hackman, Depp
Um, I was kidding about Keanu.

I love Robert Duval, but I wouldn't rank him the best. Maybe not top ten.

19. Robert Duvall is a right-wing nut!
Maybe that shouldn't influence your choice of him, but just thought you should know.
