Really wanted to do a GOAT poll - but you can only read DePac, Nicholson, Brando, Hackman, Newman, DDL so many times ffs......... Tried to keep it to a shortlist of guys around the same age - sort of - and level of fame........although Goodman is older and Simmons has an Oscar ffs..... not including Dafoe who may be THE best 80 US film actor, period of that flawed imo Hanks / Cage / Washington / Penn / Spacey / Ctuise blah blah blah group .........Dafoe is a character actor and would beat all the guys in any character actor poll I figure......also let out Cranston but he could show up another time................tried to keep it to 5 ......sue me Might do some other with more names later.......or someone else can ......I'm not married to this poll shit yanno?        |

Goodman's the king (Ralph) here, but I love all these guys.

Is Liev Schreiber a character actor? I mean he's not a major movie star but he's way too hot to be called a character actor.

I'm kind of partial to Simmons, if only for his J. Jonah Jameson. Then Buscemi, then Goodman - both very good and very dependable dudes with a couple of truly standout performances. Don't really care about Esposito and Schreiber.

In the movie star vs character actor thing - more character actor........though in the post - PSH world that gets a bit cloudy..........Schreiber is however a great stage actor and a pretty big draw........won a Tony Award - none of the others in this poll have - for Ricky Roma in Glengarry Glen Ross (I saw it, quite good) - and in Doubt currently btw currently.......he's "closer" to a stage "star" imo ..........  |

He doesn't really have enough leading man bonafides to not be called a character actor. Just Ray Donovan. That still doesn't make him a character actor? I thought character actor meant people who only play supporting parts. Are all non-leading men/women character actors/actresses? |

They're actors who generally play supporting, which does fit Schreiber's career. It isn't necessarily exclusively supporting otherwise guys like Goodman and Buscemi who've done leading roles also wouldn't qualify. |
