Who would you say are the 5 greatest actors still living? As far as resume, awards, longevity, etc.?

Joaquin Phoenix. Watch The Master by Paul Thomas Anderson to see his best work.

Robert De Niro

Sean Penn

Jack Nicholson

Dustin Hoffman

Robert Duvall

Jessica Lange

Kate Winslet

Cate Blanchett

Meryl Streep

Charlize Theron

Andrew Dice Clay

No one mentioned Gene Hackman?!

DiCaprio? Really?!

there are six living US presidents, so i'm gonna have to ask you to stretch your list out if you don't mind

longevity clearly goes to carter.

best actor toss up between clinton or obama

best supporting role prob george w

not sure what other awards are available, someone else can finish it for me

No one lists Christian Bale?!?!!

In addition to Mario:

Al Pacino, Gary Oldman, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Dern.

you questioning Helen Mirren and Cate Blanchett?

Based on your own criteria they are absolutely worth mentioning.

alive? Yes, both

resume? quite long for both

awards? HM - 4 AA noms, 1 win; CB - 8 AA noms, 2 wins (this doesn't even include BAFTAs, of which both have 5+)

longevity? HM - 60 years; CB - 34 years (is 60 years not long enough for you??)

Tomas Cruz. Top Gun. Tomas just dove off of the Eiffel Tower and landed back home in Hollywood. Super!

Clint Eastwood said, ‘100 years from now and more, people will look back on this generation of films, and the guy who will stand out more than anyone else will be Tom Cruise’.”

Yes, Julia Child is presumably her child.

1) Christopher Walken

2) This guy

an absolute legend for one primary reason: he runs in every movie he's in

Kamala Harris

Tomas Cruz

Any of the CNN news anchors

Aside from those already mentioned, Alain Delon and Brad Pitt. The former has iconic roles which are influential on modern cinema, the latter's resume and longevity > many of the others mentioned here.

Robert Redford's also worth a mention.

Warren Beatty, maybe.

Kevin Spacy

john travolta

Tom cruz

Andy Dick
