I am going to have to think about this one for awhile.

Toshiros seems to be the better actor from this group but I've never seen his movies. I'll give my nod to Buschemi only because Depp sold out and has made basically pure crap for nearly a decade.

My favorite Depp performance is in Donnie Brasco. I thought he was amazing.

It's one of my favorite mob films and I don't think it gets enough attention. I put it up there with some of the genres best.

Yojimbo was high on my list when I had Netflix but due to having low internet...Netflix streaming sent my internet bill up fifty bucks. I've over twice as much now and am considering getting Netflix back again, as I miss it. Yojimbo will be one of the first ones I watch along with M and Brick.

After much internal struggle, I decided to go with Harrison Ford. Han Solo is one of my favorite rogues/anti-heroes, and I loved him as Indy.

21 Jump Street; OMG! :rolleyes: Seems to me Depp started as a sell-out and commercial junk is the rule for him, rather than the exception. Still, for some of those exceptions I'd say he does deserve credit.

went with Steve Buscemi because he is one hell of a character actor. Need a psycho with a redeeming quality then you put him in there. I really liked his character's in Con Air and Armageddon.

What I love most about him, is that despite what type of film he's in (whether it be a big blockbuster or a small independent film) he completely transforms himself into that character. I never see Johnny the actor only the character he is portraying.

How am I to pick? Depp, Ford and Buscemi... curses!

I'll grant you that much, yeah; his pirate character absolutely transcended the kind of project that it was.

Buscemi for me, DEPP used to be good, but he just seems to play the same off the wall character all the time now. And i can not forgive him Sweeney Todd

Seven Samurai is one of the best films ever made. The Criterion Blu-ray is essential.

Must go with Steve Buscemi.

Ok - normaly i must vote for Toshiro Mifune,...his acting in Yojimbo, 7 Samurai, Rashomon, Kumonosu-jō and others was AMAZING, some of the greatest Movies ever...
But ... Toshiro Mifune--- foreign country actor = no chance:mad:
09-11-2011 12:07 PM
Jean

even if he has no chance, how does it make Buscemi better than him?

Buscemi is a very underrated actor, but I don't know if he's good enough to beat out the likes of Ford and Mifune. Apparently he is.

Depp is very hit or miss for me. A lot of his newer stuff is downright abysmal. And like Candy said, he does tend to overplay his roles at times.

Buscemi: Cult actor with a capital "C."

Ah, but all of that is why he was pitch perfect as Ed Wood.

I had to go Buscemi. I think Depp is a fantastic actor. When you watch a movie with Depp, you're not watching him play a character, you're watching him be the character. Buscemi is a different kinda guy. You can't help but see him as himself. But he makes you believe he's the character. I know it's a bit convoluted, but I don't have the words to describe my thoughts.

On another note. Buscemi is more of a down to earth guy than almost anyone knows. Without giving anything away, I will say he anonymously volunteered do do something that only a small number of people could ( or would) have volunteered for. The man is a class act that doesn't ask for any recognition.
