Christian Bale because of the ridiculous amount of range he has.

He can effortlessly play Batman, Dick Cheney, and Patrick Bateman. That's crazy.

Daniel Day Lewis, Laurence Olivier, or, perhaps as an honorable mention not on your list, Charles Laughton.

Of this list? Lean Hoffman. But I'm not sure overall. Paul Newman would certainly be up there for coolest, but probably not best. Clint Eastwood is a multi-talented individual, but he's probably a better director than actor. And since "actor" in professional parlance could mean both male or female, there's a lot of women who deserve to be in the discussion as well.

There is no best actor of all time, there is only best actors for specific characters.

The only correct answer is Tommy Wiseau.

Anyway, I agree with Enduro that there isn't an overall greatest ever actor or actress; it's better to evaluate them on how well they portray each role they take.

SN, for acting as if he wouldn't just revert right back to his spamming self if he were allowed back onto the 2020 board.

Thanks! Someone agreed with me, that's new...

He can actually be great and he can actually be a giant loaf of Velveeta.  That seems to go for when he's not acting too.
