I agree 100% OP

I was fucking gutted they didn't choose him for Euron Greyjoy.

Have you seen The Hunt?

No but I should. Looks like a great movie.

I'm a fan of Bobby Cannavale and Ian McShane. Mads is cool too.

Tom Hardy

The Hunt beats 99% of all movies ever made, lead performance wise. Not to be buzzwordy, but that shit's powerful.

Hannibal is like the opposite of that performance, but still top tier.

Hunt = strong emotional acting
Hannibal = low key, microexpression acting

watch:
>prisoners
>brokeback mountain
>nightcrawler

gyllenhalls range is bigger than mads with same kind of autnecity.
he is a bit better.

also you need to take into account that alot of mads charm comes from his extremly unique accent and look

DDL probably but he's technically retired now. His performance as Daniel Plainview is 12/10. Joaquin phoenix is excellent as is Mads although i wish he had more leading roles. Jake is great to but he does plenty of shit on the side.

HELLO RED-DIT

Top fucking tier too.

Add more to this list:

Mads Mikkelsen
Jake Gyllenhaal
Daniel Day Lewis
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Edward Norton maybe kinda?
Ian McKellen and Patrick Stewart?

...

Not as high profile, but this motherfucker is amazing in everything. Even in utter shite like MIB 3

...

Jon Bernthal

you bet

Looks like putin desu

Petition to preserve his DNA and clone him at soonest possible opportunity.
I can't think of a single actor who could reach even his ankles in terms of nonchalant acting ability.

He's underutilized and doesn't take/get enough roles that would drive up his relevancy though.

I still love Christian bale in everything he's been in desu

Anthony hopkins?

in almost all his roles christian bale is too much visible. he plays characters but isnt them.

Maybe if you're a complete and utter tasteless pleb

I think that's why I like him

Because I enjoy his natural persona or whatever it is about him that makes him stand out so much

It's Joaquin Pheonix followed by Viggo Mortenson

Adam Driver is probably the best millennial actor in the world with a strong possibility of maturing into the best actor working in his time

OP doesnt feel the way you do because he doesnt suck cocks for a living

>Anthony hopkins?
Probably this. Are we counting DDL? DDL probably wins but he's "retired." Mads is great too. Jake Gyllenhaal is up there as well. Di Caprio too.

Sorry but Brian Cox lives

Ddl is great though. Is Lincoln any good? I never saw it

It's too bad that Deniro and Pacino have turned to utter sacks of shit in recent years; if they both died in the 80s they would go down in history as some of the greatest of all time without their reputations being tarnished by taking on embarrassing comedy roles

This is what Mads Mikkelsen is known for in Denmark. Watching porn and drinking beer. You american Sup Forums fags are retarded.

DiCaprio picks good movies but he's not nearly as good as most of the other mentioned actors.

>yfw he's going to be in a video game

So what you stupid cuck? You really think anyone cares what you think?
It's like when someone from the real world mispronounces a name or place from your 'country' because they don't care to look it up and have better things to do with their lives and you go ACKSHUALLY ITSH PRONOUNCED BLUH BLUH as if your insular little voice is worth a second of my attention

Show-Euron is shit anyway

he's just Victarion with added smugness

He was fantastic in The Hunt especially the breakdown part, does anybody have some rec? Already saw Festen it was meh tho I liked the 2 bro

>Philip Seymour Hoffman
OP said working today, user

Even the batman movies?
He is great though, actually amazed by his performance in Big Short

They are some of the greatest of all time no one gives a shit about their worst performances given how great the good ones were

I agree he's overrated but come on man, casting alone doesn't get performances like The Aviator

only correct answer

This, even a shitty character like Kylo Ren he manages to elevate with his overall presence

DDL is in the new PTA film this year, get fucking hype

Mads has a distracting accent. Really clashes with everyone else. Kinda like Arney. Really pulls you out of immersion.

Whaaaat?
