Clooney, Spacey, and Crow..."A list?" C'mon. I said "leading men." Clooney ain't got that star...something. Reminds me of Tom Selleck. Great on small screen: good looking, self-deprecating which makes the looks palatable to guys---but missing a key ingredient: star quality. Same problem with Matthew McConnaughey (jesus, what a name to spell).
Russell C: he can act. He can also chew up scenery better than anyone, even Robin Williams.
Kevin Spacey: don't think he quite qualifies as a leading man in the traditional sense. Too quirky. American Beauty and Seven and Usual Suspects prove he's one of our best actors, but that ain't what I meant by leading man.
Denzel. Overacts waaaaaay too much. What Halle did at the Oscars, he does on screen way too much. That being said, he can be spectacular when he's muted (maybe by the director?) as in Devil in a Blue Dress (damn these senior moments; it was something like that...).
Morgan Freeman and Samuel L. Jackson I think are Spacey's equals. But, like Kevin, they don't have the leading man thang.
Antonio "Material Girl Playtoy" Banderas? Oh, c'mon!
Jet Li? A passable actor, for a martial artist.
Hey, at least you didn't list Nicholas Cage!
