The 25 Greatest Actors of the 21st Century (So Far)

That's true, MBJ definitely has mire high profile roles and also American which naturally means more connections with people in Hollywood from the beginning, as oposed to Brit like Kaluuya.
Yup dude is an absolute beast with an absolutely killer resume from literally the very start to very end of these last two decades.
Funny, I was literally thinking about Gael Garcia Bernal earlier today. Amores perros -> Y yu mama tambien has to be one of the best one-two punches in history, two of the best Mexican films of the generation and he's a lead actor in both of them, within a year of each other.
I haven't really seen much of his recent work, though. Should probably look into that. I've wanted to see Museo for a while now...

You're right. She might not have the most popular roles or huge blockbusters, but her resume and awards are legendary. Streep should have been a no-brainer.
She's been nominated for best actress 8 times for best actress this century (won once) and best supporting twice. Doesn't make any sense. She has been nominated for acting oscars literally half the years of this century so far.
She's a good actress and I'd put her above some of the actors on this list but I feel like people overrate her sometimes because of all of her Oscar nominations. So many of her nominations are for movies that seem designed for awards season but then nobody cares about them once awards season is over. I'd be surprised if anyone here is actually passionate about Florence Foster Jenkins, The Iron Lady, Into the Woods...etc
Tom Hanks? DiCaprio? Matt Damon? Brad Pitt? Bryan Cranston?
Yeah they're pretty mainstream but they've got fantastic range. Denzel's awesome though, I'll give you that.

I'm just glad we're past those weird few years where Melissa McCarthy was in everything, and people thought she was a comedic genius.
Keanu Reeves is a meme. I like the dude, but he's not a great actor.
Melissa McCarthy is also a very odd inclusion. I mean, Can You Ever Forgive Me? was fine, but she has to do a little more to show she really has the skills and the versatility to be considered one of the best.

Came here to say this. He was robbed. Man is a fantastic talent.
I'm not sure if I agree with it, but the keanu reeves argument is actually fairly interesting - I admittedly don't really watch many action movies, but I'm not sure there's a modern "action star" that I'd rather see. and the point about "how long has it been since you were disappointed to see him cast in a movie" is... pretty true.
not sure where that ultimately deserves to get an actor on a list like this, but I think the case is better than I initially thought

Glad to see Kang and Min-Hee on there. I would probably remove Keanu and replace him with Robert Pattinson. His work in Good Time, High Life and The Lighthouse is just too strong to ignore.
