Agreed! To consider hanks one of the best actors of the 00s is just asinine!(
I love using that word). I'm not saying he isn't a great actor, he is and he is for sure one of my fav's... But saying he is one of the best actors of the 00's is slightly insane. He's great but there is MUCH better now.
DiCaprio on the other hand, I could see people calling HIM the best actor of the 00's. I would have to disagree with that though. Again like hanks I've basically loved the guy as an actor since Catch Me If You Can, but I believe Depp is a MUCH better actor overall. Depp can take totally crap roles with no good dialog and turn it to gold. I don't think he's EVER been the same(way he moves/talks/acts) in two different movies. The way he plays the characters that he takes on are completely unique in every movie he's done from Fear And Loathing In Las Vegas, to Blow, to Pirates Of The Caribbean, to Alice In Wonderland. Even when the movie has sucked Depp's acting has always been amazing regardless.(hell, I even think he did a great job as Sweeny Todd, even though I hated the movie because I watched it not knowing it was a musical
).
Am I saying Leo or Hanks sucks? Hell no they are both amazing actors in their own right. However in my opinion neither of them are as good as Depp is, and if you are going to be talking about best actors of the 00's, one would have to be insane not to include Depp in the list.
