Only five actors to pick through, Hollywood has countless movies made each year, and it all ends up to the audiences to decide those who stand tall for their laurels and those who would suffice the lesser known admonishes based on their talent proved. As per me here is a list of actors in no order whatsoever who have shined due to their various strengths.
Charlie Chaplin: Now here is a man whom we recognize to the word comedy no lesser than Adam & Eve to our civilization itself (biologists n historians may differ). He had his own charm and way of acting that was unique to him, his idiosyncrasies and walk are still mimicked and laughed over all around the world.
Charlton Heston: For all you movie buffs out there it would be a shame if you haven’t watched him in acting from the classics as in the well known Benhur (though this one movie glorified him beyond doubt) to Planet of the Apes and The Ten Commandments.
Jim Carrey: I would say there ain’t an actor remotely comparable to this one, its nothing to do with the word funny or comedy but his ability to express himself (facially) in tune with his role that too as openly as humanly possible, need I recite his movies. I think if there be his one mantra it would be “Let it all out”.
Gene Hackman: Here’s a man I admire most from the one movie Mississippi Burning, but other favorites starring him are The Crimson Tide and The Narrow Margin, the first movie is about the race apartheid and the situation thereof, a must see.
Anthony Hopkins: Surely none of us can forget the name Clarice can you, as our good ol Hannibal calls her in the movie The Silence of the Lambs. For anybody who has seen the movie more than once only two scenes stand out the one where Jodie takes the first interview and the crucifixion of one of the guards in one of the cells later on in the movie. Did you know he reads his script a hundred times just to get the feel of the character inside himself?
I sure wanna take my hats off to the rest of the guys whose contributions also stand apart among them are :
Robin Williams : Patch Adams, the Bird Cage
John Travolta : Broken Arrow, Civil Action
Morgan Freeman : The Shawshank Redemption
While these are some of the movies I can see reruns without running for the remote :
The Green Mile, The Fiddler on the Roof, Benhur, TopGun, Mississippi Burning, Silence of he Lambs, Rudy, MAS*H, The Shawshank Redemption (Class Apart; I sure die for this one)
