Lester Bangs. His performance was spot on to the real dude, too. Doesn't hurt that Cameron gave him actual lines spoken by Lester, either.

I feel like 15 years is too long of a time period, if I were to ask a question like this, I would do it over 5 years, 10 max. That being said, I would have to go with

Tom Hanks
Michael Caine
Russell Crowe

I feel like Paul Giamatti belongs on this list, but hasn't been around long enough with leading roles.

John C. Reilly would be best supporting actor IMO.

Robert Downey Jr.
Johnny Depp
Robert Duvall
Jack Nicholson
Robert DeNiro

I assume "act" doesn't include people who simply play themselves in serial roles -- even if they're very likable, like Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford, or Sean Connery.

I love Johnny Depp, but how many good movies has he made, ever?

I love Robert DeNiro, but the man never turns down a script.

Nicholson isn't phoning it in to the degree that DeNiro is, but that's only cause he can't play cops/criminals. Romantic comedies? Ick.

Robert Duvall straight rocks.

Also, where's the Gene Hackman love?

It took me 15 seconds to think of five great movies he's been in.

Fear and Loathing. Donnie Brasco. Gilbert Grape?

I'll admit to not having seen some of his stuff, but I did see Chocolat. I did see Secret Window.

Ed Norton and William Macey stand out for me. Deniro has high peaks but he is in so many random bad movies.
