My two choices for female actors exactly. Of course I'd have to add Daniel Day Lewis to those two to represent the males.

[horseflesh]

As others have said, Daniel Day-Lewis, absolutely no question about it.

I have to laugh at the list above that omits him but calls Michael Douglas a legend, and Jamie Foxx an icon

[Elvis]

I would say one of the greatest actors of the last 25 years who is not acting in anything is James Woods! Great actor but where is he?

[,deeii]

Johnny Depp.
