Damn some of the ones that have been posted were ones that I was gonna pick.

Well let me pick 3 different ones because I don't wanna be repetitive.

Jack Nicholson - The Shining

Ed Norton - American History X

Robert DeNiro - Taxi Driver

Nicholson - One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
Sam Jackson - Pulp Fiction
Jeff Bridges - Big Lebowski
Kevin Spacey - The Usual Suspects

...and for television Ian McShane in Deadwood

2. Daniel Day-Lewis in There Will Be Blood - Just saw this now, this man is something else. Literally man, no wonder why he does movies very rarely.

3. Denzel Washington in Training Day - Favourite actor in his best role

Both great performances but I think Day-Lewis' best acting job was in My Left Foot (although the movie isn't near as good as TWBB) and Denzel's best role and movie was Malcolm X.

Pacino in both godfather 1 and 2

..and these two movies are my all time favorites but I think Pacino's best role was in Dog Day Afternoon.
