I find your lack of Ben Foster disturbing.

Gosling of these choices. Next up for me would be Pattinson, Driver, Gyllenhaal, aaaand probably Jordan or Kaluuya. Pattinson could easily overtake Gosling in the coming years though with the direction his career is headed in, probably the most exciting actor of his age group at the moment.

I think the actors are clearly lesser than the actresses tbh.
Not really sure why people repeat the (sorta) myth that Gyllenhaal is that special - he might always be good but he's never really great unless you're watching Nightcrawler.........so far to me at least. I mean I dunno, he might be 2nd to Gosling on this list but............it's a distant 2nd.......and Driver may fill that role better and goes on stage at least as much if not more which I of course like.

I think Driver is making a real case for himself, in a relatively short space of time as well. I feel there's not much he can't do. Stage as well. He even makes a pretty ridiculous character like Kylo Ren work as well.
Had/Have high hopes for Gyllenhaal, and I think he's still up there for his generation, but some inconsistency has started creeping into his work. But I can still see him ending up as his generations best.
Jordan and Kaayula are promising, but both need to do more. Too early to make a call on JDW. Kinda have a fair notion of everyone else's ceiling.

Pattinson has pulled ahead of the field in recent years. I'm as surprised as anyone.

From the actors listed I'd probably say Pattinson is the best.

This is a much weaker bunch than the actresses. From what I've seen there's only a few of them who are even good. Voted JGL and Garfield who are both more consistent and solid than anything else. Thought about Eisenberg because he has by far the best performance of anyone on this list with Social Network, but other than that he's spotty.

Gosling and Gyllenhaal are miles above the rest.

Ben Whishaw should be on the list and is wildly more accomplished than any of the names above. Otherwise I'd say Pattinson.

Not a generation as powerful as the 80s-born actresses.
I guess I'll choose Redmayne and Jordan from the list.
And most important, NOT Gyllenhaal. I can't stand the guy...

Two not mentioned yet who also just so happen to be in The Irishman....
Jack Huston - uniquely great in Boardwalk Empire and has star looks and charm but some serious bad luck in his career choices
and even better (I'd take him over most of those listed above) Jesse Plemons! Fargo, Other People, USS Callister, Game Night; he's been real impressive over last several years.

Certainly he wouldn't be in my top list of 80s born actors. But for Jack Huston I'd consider it. |

I think Gosling. Dude has got almost 2 decades of good performances behind him now. Some of those guys might have a turn or two comparable to his best work, but nowhere near the amount or the breadth of kind of stuff that he has for me.
That said I do think Domhnall is quickly, quietly emerging as some kind of monster. I think he keeps on turning in these tremendous performances in films that either nobody watches, or they do watch, and somehow all the attention ends up going to someone else doing something flashier or starrier.

Gosling, then Driver. Eisenberg, Gyllenhaal and Garfield come next. I'm also very fond of Dano, Pattinson, JGL and Gleeson. I think Michael B. Jordan and Armie Hammer both gave some pretty good performances, but I'd like to see them doing something that doesn't rely much on charm.

Another one I like but who's behind the pack - Evan Peters. He reminds me of a young Depp at times. He's very good (MVP) in American Animals, solid in Pirates of Somalia, and scene-steals like crazy in the X-Mens - why didn't he get his own Quicksilver movie? There's some untapped talent there, but he's shown he can be pretty effortlessly comedic and charming. I haven't seen any of AHS but at nearly 100eps I hope there's some worthy stuff in there bc it took up a lot of his 20s - though at 32y/o now he can definitely still play younger parts. Others about the same age like Pattinson or Jesse Plemons are starting to play older roles and pulling 'em off but that's something tricky for Peters who I mean I don't think he can pull off a family man yet....

This is such a disappointing group. More than the 90s cause they already had one more decade of time to give some great performances. They are still young and can have good careers actingwise, but I can't help and feel I should have seen them in more memorable roles.
Some have very strong single showings as Eisenberg in The Social Network and Garfield in Hacksaw Ridge, but those were exceptions among usually rather average work. Gotta vote for Gosling and Gyllenhaal, who have been the most consistent. I imagine though that Garfield and Driver could overtake them.

Disappointed by this poll.
Gosling is fading out, and nowhere near as good as the hype.
Driver and Gyllenhaal should be easily at the top.
1. Gyllenhaal
2. Driver
3. Pattinson
4. Garfield

Went with Gosling cause he was in my top 2 favorite films of the 2010s (Drive, Blade Runner 2049). He just makes it look so easy.
HM to my boy Chris Pine. He kinda got a very late start. No one really knew he was until he got the lead role in Star Trek 2009 (at age 29). He is very charismatic, can do either drama or comedy very well. I'd like to see him show case his acting skills more though instead of signing up for these big franchises (Jack Ryan, WW, and maybe The Saint which sounds like a bust already) but I get it, it pays the bills.
Would love to see him work with Taylor Sheridan again & Joe Carnahan again. I felt they get the most out of him.

Well, in the time since this post I've seen Marriage Story and together with Paterson and BlackKklansman this makes up for such a good top 3 that I might think Driver has already overtaken Gyllenhaal for me. |
