Washington has been excellent in every film that immediately comes to mind.
As for Crowe and Owen, they get on any list of greatness for, if nothing else, A Beautiful Mind and Children of Men respectively.
I may have my ages screwed up, but I'm not sure if Hopkins, Hackman, and Caine, are in the generation following Brando if generations are accepted as being in the range of 20-25 years. (not knocking their considerable talents, but strictly speaking, they aren't "post brando generation").
I'm gonna throw Dustin Hoffman out there as well. He excelled in films such as The Graduate, Rainman, Straight Time, Papillion, Confidence, All the Presidents Men, Kramer v Kramer, Midnight Cowboy, and Little Big Man among others.
