  8. dude you forgot heath leger for the joker in the dark knight

  9. My top 3 actors in no peticular order are

    Tom Hanks
    Anthony Hopkins
    Jim Carrey

    Tom for his brillience and ability to play anything, Anthony for his original style of acting and skills, and Jim because he is one of those actors who can just give it a go and is always watchable

    While Robert de niro is a fabulous actor, he just lacks that always watchable mark, in most of his movies hes just saying stuff and cant understand what he means.
