I thought we were talking about great actors not movie stars. Tom Cruise and Vin Diesel are big budget movie stars, not great actors. They are good at what they do, but its not great acting its mindless cheesy fun. Jack Nicholson (people who didnt have him on their list should be caned) Bruce Campbell (that evil hand scene should have gotten him an oscar but the oscars were jealous because they suck) Katharine Hepburn (A actress with true talent, something you dont see much of nowadays.She came up before all you needed was silicon boobs.) Samuel L Mother****ing Jackson (Simply too cool to refuse. He and Snoop Dog should have some kind of cage match to determine who is the coolest man on earth. that would rule.) There's alot more but i am keeping it short. Note: Bruce Lee was the greatest martial artist of our time, but was also one the worst actors. His movies were about showing the world what he could do, thats all he cared about. He even said so on many occasions. This is a Bruce Lee obsessive talking here.
