Benefits from picking his roles very exclusively as well IMO.
Philip Seymour-Hoffman for me Silkz, Gandolfini would be right up there as well. It’s fucking awful that they’re both dead.

Best thing about that show by a country mile.
She was also great in Brooklyn (the last thing I saw her in). As was Saoirse(?) Ronan. She’s been great in everything I’ve seen her in actually

There’s hardly gonne be ONE person that’s “greatest of a generation” especially not while that generation is still active and all. But Day-Lewis is absolutely fucking tremendous, no doubt.

why not?
Barely seen any of his films, but he’s very good in Lincoln.
Phillip Seymour Hoffman had an almost classless range. I don’t think there’s anyone he couldn’t have played,
A lot depends on what you want from an actor. If you want verisimilitude then someone like Nic Cage is a mile away from what you want but for intensity I think he deserves a mention. He walks a pretty unique line between art house cinema, main stream movies, b movie genre flics, and genuinely awful, made-for-tv level nonsense, and that’s kind of special. He’s doing a phenomenal job of writing himself off but he will end his career with a back catalogue like no one else, and if a director ever wanted to rehabilitate him I don’t think it would be that difficult to get another amazing role out of him.
