Gene Hackman. He is in every third movie released. He is going for quanity not quality at this point.

My thoughts exactly. The first two that came to mind are Marlon Brando and Daniel Day-Lewis.

After them, I can't leave out Robert DeNiro, Jack Lemmon, Al Pacino, Anthony Hopkins and Dustin Hoffman. And Robert Downey Jr is one of the most underrated.

As for females - Meryl Streep is probably the best actress in history. With Katherine Hepburn, Elizabeth Taylor, Audrey Hepburn and Jodie Foster.

Worst big name actor is definately Kevin Costner.

Single WORST performance I've EVER seen in my life is Michael Gambon as Dumbledore in the Harry Potter movies. Did he even watch the first two? He doesn't even know who he's playing!

I don't feel like I've seen enough foreign performances to comment on them.

Well, Kinski was a good one. But actually most of the time he did not have to act :-)
Anyway, for me it is Gert Froebe (aka Goldfinger), and not only for his role in the Bond Movie...

Currently my favorite is Ed Norton. Of all time I say DeNiro--Norton has a ways to go to catch him.
