    I know that. I was taking anyone that played alot in American movies. If he reliedon Scotsman movies he'd never have been noticed.

    Not necessarily Americans but my favorites are Robert Duvall and Russell Crowe.

    The Duke is by far the greatest IMO. I own almost every movie he has done. Still trying to find some of the hard to get ones.

    Hard to argue with Clint Eastwood. Great actor AND director. Denzel is probably my favorite, but not necessarily the best ever- close second though, lol.

    funny thing about Denzel Washington is all the great movies he has done and he won a Oscar for (a great movie no doubt but 1 he played a role we are not used to him playing) in Training Day........I've loved all his movie..even Malcome X...my favorite was his role as the Lawyer in Philadelphia with Tom Hanks

    How about Morgan Freeman? He has played some great parts... I especially liked him in the movie with Ashley Judd but I can't remember the name.

    Kevin Costner and Kurt Russell... both were great Wyatt Earps.

    Kurt Russel was the Better Wyatt Earp IMO, and Val Milmer as Doc Holiday is the best performance of his career.

    Maybe I missed it but no one has mentioned Al Pacino!

    Personally I think Training Day is his best. It's near the top of my favorite movies list too.
