Top Actors of all time
Denzel Washington
There was a moment at the Oscars this year when the camera switched to Denzel Washington while Casey Affleck took home the prize for best actor. Washington's look, one of contempt and disappointment, quite interesting, says a lot about him as an actor. Man is incredibly competitive. In every film he plays, Washington strives to be the most dominant person on the screen, even when it's a secondary role. Whether you're watching it in an action movie like "Man on Fire" or in a domestic drama like "Fences", Washington manages to dominate the screen. It looks larger than life in both its charisma and razor fire.
Dustin Hoffman
When you take a look at Dustin Hoffman's best performances, you are immediately struck by two things. One is his ability to give a sense of naturalism to all his roles, rarely performing in a way that screams acting. His two legendary interpretations of the 80s, 'Tootsie' and 'Rain Man' are perhaps the best proof of this gift. Ether one of those shots could have been exaggeratedly interpreted by most actors, but Hoffman manages to make his characters feel real in both films. I'm embarrassed to say that I often forget about him in "Rain Man" because that performance looks like a real person with a disability. The second is a natural gift for both comedy and drama. Hoffman managed to offer iconic performances on both sides of the acting spectrum. You can see it in his two best interpretations of the 60s, in the role of a shy young man who has a relationship with a much older woman in "The graduate" or a spastic junkie in "Midnight Cowboy".

Tom Hanks
When you think of a movie star par excellence; someone whose charisma can bring an entire movie, Tom Hanks is probably at the top of the list. His fascination for all has led to one of the greatest performances of any actor, with almost all the films in this period becoming a classic and demonstrating a series of comedies, dramas and love stories. How many others could play a romantic comedy like "Sleepless in Seattle" and a gritty war movie like "Saving Private Ryan"? However, Hanks also managed to retreat and act as a support player, if necessary. It doesn't happen often, but the two best examples are probably "Catch Me If You Can" by Spielberg and "That Thing You Do", which Hanks directed. In a recent interview, Hanks admitted to feeling over his peak as an actor; and yes, it's been more than two decades since the fist among the best actors played "Philadelphia" and "Forrest Gump", but the man can still surprise, as this scene in "Captain Phillips" clearly shows. If you ask me, it is underestimated by today's standards. After all, it is difficult to underestimate the amount of life that can come out of a movie, even when it does very little.
