« on: October 14, 2012, 09:03:49 PM »
somebody asked me this the other day, and tbh Im still thinking about it, I can name 2 welsh guys who will be very high up my personal list but to say the 'best' or 'greatest' ever is some hard shout..

what do you think ?

I have to think about this.  I might have different choices for different genres:  Drama, Comedy, Action....

A few years ago Ed Norton was in a movie with DiNero about a bank heist and adouble cross or something. I can't remember the title but the ending blew me away! He is good.

When I first saw this thread Lewis popped into my mind. He can do anything. Scary talent.
