If I went strictly off Oscars for "Best Actor", I would have to say Daniel Day Lewis. Jack Nicholson has two "Best Actors" and one supporting actor award.

Is Tom Hanks up there? What about Denzel Washington? or Robert DeNiro?

for playing iconic roles such as Indiana Jones and Han Solo, is Harrison Ford in the conversation? Clint Eastwood?

I know I'm missing some other good actors, but if I had to go top 5 based on my own criteria I think i'd go in no particular order

Denzel Washington

Tom Hanks

Heath Ledger

Robert DeNiro

Leonardo DiCaprio

That's the problem with actors these days. They just try and get by on their talent. You want to know what they are lacking? PAGEANTRY!

My favorite character in any movie ever is Val Kilmer's Doc Holliday in Tombstone. Followed closely by Denzel Washington in Training Day.

I would hardly call Val Kilmer the best actor though. There's probably not a single person out there that I would say "Oh! <such-and-such> is in this movie?!? I've gotta see it."

I bet you get a wide variety of answers. Should be interesting. At least, more interesting than UH & LATech-talk.

Maybe it's me, but I don't think he played his one shot at leading man very well, plus that film was a disaster at the box office.

Jimmy Stewart, Cary Grant, Henry Fonda, Gregory Peck etc have to be given consideration. Seems like people are mostly thinking of the last twenty odd years. Many great screen legends with a ton of iconic roles.

This would be a tougher list for me than all time films really.

Jimmy Stewart? Never heard of him! But Ryan Gosling is one of the greatest of all time!

      UNT vs Texas State BOWL GAME THREAD!!

      I agree, but that’s not the way it’s presented here. EVERYTHING is the coaches fault according to many on this forum.

      Yes, EM has very similar records to SL, but are we not in a better conference, playing better teams? The AAC was 6-2 in bowl games, C-USA was 1-4. This is an important aspect that is always overlooked in the EM vs SL argument. Also, SL didn’t have to deal with NIL or the portal (granted, it’s possible he would have handled it well, but I have my doubts). Finally, I just don’t feel like we get our asses handed to us near as much as with SL. I know there are those that say “a loss is a loss,” but I’d much rather lose by one score instead of three score. I looked up the numbers at one time, but the number of 21+ point losses under SL was just crazy. In the past two seasons we have 10 conference losses, and 6 of those have been one score games. Only twice have we been throttled in conference…last year vs SMU and this year vs UTSA. This year we lost to 3 of the top 4 teams in the conference (Army, Tulane, and Memphis). Last year we lost to the top 4 teams in the conference (SMU, Tulane, Memphis, and UTSA). That’s bad luck on scheduling to even have to play all of the top teams in the conference. None of this is meant as praise for EM. I’m just saying that I think it’s obviously better than SL. I’ll give the rest of the argument as I honestly don’t have a clue.

      I don't have much to add other than to say I agree with you. We seem to have a lot of fans that just enjoy mediocrity and moral victories. BuT We PlAyEd BeTtEr FoR oNe GaMe, We aRe GoInG sOmEwHeRe
