Good actor in my book is someone who can play very different roles and be very believable while at it. If you think about it, BW had only one role in his life, never seriously attempting to play anything else. And when he did - he failed. Big time.
Another thing that is very important to me is that an actor be picky, choosing interesting roles over potential commercial success. This is why I would never even think about calling Tom Cruise an actor, or any of his wives for that matter.
On the other hand, look at Ms. Winslet. After "Titanic" she had tons of offers, that she discarded only to take part in something that was INTERESTING for her.
