The GF brought up an interesting question this morning, asking me who I thought the most respected actor in hollywood was. I said Pacino, but thought DeNiro, Will Smith, Tom Hanks, and Robin Williams could all be considered. I really have no idea though, and Im probably excluding a bucnh of people that would be higher ont he list, so who do you guys think is?

I'd say Jack Nicholson or Tom Hanks. I've always liked Paul Newman and Robert Duvall.

Robert De Niro always seems to be the first actor off the top of people's heads.

Is Sir Lawrence Olivier still alive?

here are the right answers:

1. Russell Crowe

2. Paul Giamatti

3. Johnny Depp

4. Morgan Freeman

5. Ben Kingsley



The others you have listed are mostly living on past reputation. If you really examined the recent works, it's subpar, at best.

If actresses were included in the list, then at the very top would be:

1. Meryl Streep

2. Helen Mirren

3. Sissy Spacek

4. Hilary Swank

5. Chloe Sevini (sp?)



Honorable mentions: Chris Cooper, Alan Cummings, Steve Buscemi

How could I forget Depp! :?:

He's awesome in almost everything he does, including:

<----Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas

Respected by the general public and respected for not being a douchebag...
