Actor that has worked with the best directors?
Which actor/actress do you think has worked with the best directors?
I'll start:
Tom Cruise
Stanley Kubrick
Francis Ford Coppola
Cameron Crowe
Michael Mann
Robert Redford
Paul Thomas Anderson
John Woo
Oliver Stone
Brian De Palma
Steven Spielberg
Ron Howard
Ridley Scott
Tony Scott
Martin Scorsese
Some notable directors he has not worked with:
Joel & Ethan Coen
Steven Soderberg
Clint Eastwood
Quentin Tarantino
What do you guys think? There's probably some great actors that have passed away that have just as impressive resumes.

Francis Ford Coppola, Robert Altman, John Sturges, Sam Peckinpah, Arthur Penn, George Lucas, Walter Hill, Barry Levinson, Dennis Hopper, Tony Scott, Roland Joffé, Ron Howard, Kevin Costner
Maybe not all "great" directors by some standards, but famous to be sure.
