This would be tough to do. I'd have to fit Pacino, De Niro, and Nicholson in there someplace. For the 2000s, I'm going with my man Phillip Seymour Hoffman. He's simply a great actor with alot of depth. MI3, Capote, Owning Mahowny, 25th Hour, Punch Drunk Love, Love Liza, Almost Famous, Cold Mountain....and he showed he can be extemely funny with Along Came Polly.
It would be very tough to leave out Morgan Freeman as well. |
For the 2000's I'd pick Brad Pitt. Every movie he does is a big deal. That and his resume is a bit more diverse than say someone like Tom Hanks. Him or Russell Crowe. Cause everything he touches his gold. Aside from 'Proof of Life'.

And what's up with your antagonism in your list? You don't see me pissing all over your choices...
You can disagree, question, and piss all over my choices. At least, I thought about them. |
1970s: Robert De Niro/Al Pacino
1980s: Harrison Ford/Sylvester Stallone 1990s: Tom Hanks/Tom Cruise 2000s: Russell Crowe/Tom Cruise |
Gable is a lock on the '30s.
|
80s = Molly Ringwald, you bastards. :)
|
50's definately Brando. 2000's it's got to be Phillip Seymour Hoffman.
|
50's Marlon Brando
60's Paul Newman 70's Jack Nicholson 80's Harrison Ford 90's Pauly Shore |
2000's Rob Schneider.

10s: Charlie Chaplin
20s: Buster Keaton 30s: Clark Gable 40s: Humphrey Bogart 50s: James Dean (Only 3 movies, but he defined the 50s for me) 60s: Paul Newman (or Steve McQueen) 70s: Robert De Niro 80s: 90s: Tom Hanks 00s: Philip Seymour Hoffman (or Ed Norton Jr.) I'm still thinking about the 80s. |

20's Buster Keaton
30's Clark Gable 40's Humphrey Bogart 50's Marlon Brando 60's Paul Newman 70's Robert De Niro 80's Harrison Ford 90's Tom Hanks 00's George Clooney |
From 1986 forward, you pretty much have to go with Tom Cruise.
|
50's Marlon Brando
90's Tom Cruise 00's Johnny Depp |
1920s - John Wayne
1930s - John Wayne 1940s - John Wayne 1950s - John Wayne 1960s - John Wayne 1970s - John Wayne 1980s - Arnold Schwarzenegger 1990s - Arnold Schwarzenegger 2000s - Arnold Schwarzenegger |
Um, it's 2006 and the general public STILL has no idea who Philip Seymour Hoffman is. Nice try but he doesn't even come close.

Gotta give the 2000s to Nicole Kidman. Or, I could possibly be talked into Reese Witherspoon. |

1970's I'd say Diane Keaton
|
1960s, in my opinion, would belong to Audrey Hepburn.
