Way too many actors today aren't really actors, they're personas.

I mean seriously, is what Jack Nicholson does really "acting"? In every film, he's essentially just himself with a different name and situation. Ditto for Bruce Willis, Tom Cruise, Dennis Quaid, Matthew McConnaughey and others.

Who are the real "actors" out there? The guys who actually come off as different guys when they play different roles?

Good choices, though I find Pitt and Depp a tad overrated.

Should have included a second question in the original: Who is the most overrated of the bunch and/or the one with the least range? I'd probably nominate the afforementioned Jack Nicholson, but I'm sure there are others.

On the main point, I'd argue for Philip Seymour Hoffman as the most underrated of the bunch. He's played a pretty broad variety of characters. Hard to believe the roles in things like Twister, MI3, Boogie Nights, Red Dragon, Capote and Doubt are all the same guy.

I don't think Depp's talent is overrated, I think it just happens that his movie selections have made him look like the same character, not that he isn't capable. And honestly I think Pitt is underrated.

I think DD Lewis is overrated. Now bear with me, I think he is one of if not the best actor out there but I don't find to be leaps and bounds the best.

Clooney is overrated. Zac Efron is a scrub.

I think these 2 are 2 that don't play characters anymore. They used to. Not anymore though.

Meh yea it's sort of true. More with Pacino than Deniro though. As far as Nicholson goes he's used to be diverse and I still think he is today. But for these 3 guys they don't have to prove themselves anymore, they don't have to show how diverse they are, they have the luxury of making movies for fun.

      Apparently CSW lost his starting job to Thornton last year. If he can stay healthy I bet Thornton keeps that NB position.

      I member him staying after practices with only to see he was wearing heavy weight vest, one of his trademarks. He also put in 10 years, right? People forget he was the ST stud that called the snap and made sure everyone lined up right. He was one of the "glue" guys that bought his "lunch pail" to work.... He was a willing solider, all teams need a couple of them. He blocked for sooo many panthers RBs- Davis, lane, Williams, foster, goings and when there was huge injuries he took over the starter duties and had a couple 100 yard games. If you followed hoover, he took the perfect RB path cause he was just a slow heavy one himself....

      Walker likely depends on a couple of things. What exactly did Dan promise him, to start with.  How much other interest he actually had for a starter job at high pay is another question. It isn’t outside the realm of possibility that he could stay on as a swing tackle waiting to take Moton’s spot when it opens.    I can’t get myself to consider Icky as a viable anything until we see him back on the field.     Hunt seems to be a team player and good guy but I don’t think he is worth what he is being paid. I have him tentatively earmarked for cap causality in the near future.
