"Is it just my imagination, or are there more quality actors now than there were in the 80's and 90's? Television is the school for acting in Hollywood. As long as television is growing, there will allways be more quality actors than before.
Keep the laughs comming Ron. 
Mathew McConanahe stinks as an actor-he's just eye candy 4 the ladies. Kathy Bates is awesome in what she has done. JT I thought was good in Pulp Fiction and Get Shorty oh ya Renee Russo and Sandra bullock are great. Kevin Spacey is awesome and his impressions are great look em up on youtube. Brad Pitt has been good at times Seven and Snatch are both very good. I've always been quite fond of Snatch it's a must see.
I forgot to mention Paul Giamatti as one of my favorite character actors. >:[
agreed.
I just saw Used Cars this past week. I think that was Kurt Russell's best film. His acting career went downhill from there.
agreed. Funny movie
How about Tyler Perry? or Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle?
You like Meryl Streep because its California law! Even when she didn't make a movie, Calif penal code says she gets nominated
I don't get it. Has she won a lot of Oscars? I really would not know. I've loved her ever since The Deer Hunter back in the 70's. Also Sophies Choice
Yes. She has won 3 oscars and nominated 19 times.I think it is most nominations for an actress. Check out Postcards From the Edge she's funny and she sings very good.Streep was just so overhyped in the early 80's you woulda thought they couldn't make a movie without her so that 'California law' makes me lol.
How about Tyler Perry? or Terrence Howard and Don Cheadle?
Don Cheadle for sure.
Hugh Laurie nailed House. Wilson too remember from dead poets society. Would not be surprised to see him in movies or another series.
Also John C Riley and Denzel Washington.
One more observation, as far as the men go, some of the very best actors are NOT leading men but rather character actors. Two of my favorites are Philip Seymore Hoffman and Gary Oldman. >:[
I think Gene Hackman is one of the most underrated actors.
Anthony Hopkins.
Yes sir
Your response remineded me: I think his correct name is Sir Anthony Hopkins.
Benedict Cumberbatch.
Add Denzel Washington to the list. 😎 From as far back as Malcolm X to The Equalizer he's played quite a few memorable roles.
Tommy Lee Jones was good in 'No country for Old Men'.
Tommy Lee Jones was good in a lot of things.
Not seen that one, who else was in it?
hahahahahahaha its not a movie, I'm just agreeing with you.
