When you think of it and the characters he has portrayed, doesn't he rise to the top of the list?And many earlier stars played "themselves" and rarely strayed from that.
Follow Ups:
Agreed on all points.I think most big hollywood stars are mainly good looking men and women with strong, compelling (or at least inherently theatrical or dramatic) personalities beyond which their acting ability rarely if ever strays. They may be good, even excellent actors, but only in so far as one might convincingly play for people in one's day-to-day or interpersonal or intimate relations emotions that are plausibly one's own as opposed to reinventing one's self as someone else entirely. The latter requires considerably more skill, but for most movie goers the personality-cult that draws them to the theater (and on the basis of which most movies are marketed) blinds them to the limits of the former.
actors as have ever been around together...but they're not REALLY leading men, are they? The greatest leading actors have something heroic about them, but the three aforementioned are almost anti-hero types. Great actors, though.
