Who are the three greatest actors of the past 15 years?

[/ QUOTE ]

Greatest Actors by films appeared in or roles played...

A lot of "great" actors play similar roles (typecast)....

Tom Hanks is definitely up there though...

[CallMeIshmael]

Hanks is the only one that isnt debatable.

[CrazyEyez]

Johnny Depp should be in the mix.
I agree with Hanks for sure.

Your forgot "Philadelphia", "Cast Away", "Toy Story", "A League of Their Own", and "Sleepless in Seattle", which were certainly fine performances that fit in the time range given.
