Right behind Gary Oldman

@@shanevinson845 nooooo

@@shanevinson845DDL is better

​@@shanevinson845Oldman is great, but no one is on DDL league

@@ItsTheSilverSurfer DDL doesn’t act.

He is in the up coming Minecraft movie.

What I want to know is _how_ he can afford to do that. I'm sure Malcolm McDowell had no overwhelming desire to star in "Home Alone 5: The Holiday Heist," but the man has bills to pay just like the rest of us.

@@TheBermudaMan He's worth 60 million, he probably doesn't spend it frivolously like other actors; out buying multiple mansions and islands, etc. Other less talented actors are worth more, but take more roles and in lesser movies

😮😅😅😂 Good Point Man !

"There are no good or bad actors, there is only good and bad acting." I don't know exactly who said that but I remember that piece of advice helping me answer that question. Of course a certain personality *can* help and talent can only take you so far but the biggest determining factor is can you act?

Acting is a craft that is learned slowly over time. And always remember “you are enough.” Whatever personality and quirks you have make you unique. Bring aspects of yourself to every role

"Hard work beats talent when talent stays at home" you don't need to be wickedly talented, it's a craft, and like any craft it can be refined and improved through vagariously hard work. It's not easy however, you'll have to be incredibly disciplined.

This is something I've thought a lot (lot, LOT) about over my life and so I want to reassure you - there is no "right" personality to be an actor. It is true that certain careers require certain personalities, but this is less true for ACTING than you might think. Why? Because art is always trying to capture the full spectrum of the human experience, and so we need as many different actors (with differing personalities) as we have characters needing to be played. As people, our "personality" also incorporates our "perspective" and THAT is the unique element that we each bring when we breathe a character to life. It's why there are so many different versions of Hamlet and they're all "right". Daniel Day Lewis is a master of his SKILLS so he can transform (i.e change his voice and his body) but his unique ARTISTRY is his INTERPRETATION - he interprets the character in the way that Daniel Day Lewis interprets, and this is a reflection of him and his perspective and the life he's lived and how it's shaped him. (From my analysis I've noticed running themes of rebelliousness, calculated playfulness and perfectionism in all his characters.) (NOTE: by "calculated playfulness" I don't mean his acting is calculated - I mean the people he portrays have a personality streak of enjoying - and sometimes weaponising - their wit.) Johnny Depp also transforms his body and voice. But he'll often bring a detached or "outsider-looking-in" perspective to his characters, with a signature eccentric streak. Marlon Brando always brought a roughness/ unbridled sexuality. Michelle Williams brings fragility + innocence with an undercurrent of buried, complex wildness. Charlize Theron brings a volcanic, violent intensity. Kristen Stewart brings a haphazard anxiousness. etc etc etc etc. You get my point. Transforming is the skill component. Perspective/personality/who we are/the way we interpret the world (and lines from a script) is our artistry. You don't have to change who you are. Also remember that acting gives you the opportunity to explore private parts of yourself that aren't necessarily part of your personality in public. We all have many sides and depths to us! That's why I love acting. You get to explore parts of yourself that don't fit in polite society but that we all have inside. Also remember that when you see actors being super charming and witty in interviews, they are often still playing a part, and many have been "media trained" so don't get down on yourself if you think you aren't vivacious enough. No one is, all the time. Additionally, consider that there are also "personality traits" that are not actually personality traits - they are SKILLS you can work on and cultivate, specifically for acting. These skills are: 1) genuine openness /being present 2) playfulness (connection to your inner child) 3) vulnerability (this can be totally private, but you have to have emotional understanding of yourself). Lastly, if there IS a personality trait that is requisite to being an actor, I'd say you have it - which is simply, you love acting enough to worry if you're good enough to do it. Take that passion, work hard, get better, and enjoy the journey. All the best to you!!! xx

@Naomi Belet I don’t think I’ve ever heard quite as in depth a response to what it is like to be an actor. Very well said Naomi!

Hai Dear, I Feel Some Passion To Acting, But My Financial Background Is So Poor, I am From India Kerala Kochin, I Acted In 6 Short Films & InOne Theatre Movie As TRANSGENDER Role, I am 53 yrs Old Male , Now I Am Doing My First Psycho Killing Thriller Short Film, I Need To Acting In English Or Hollywood Movies, If You Are Giving Your What's up No I Can Giving The Clippings To You Dear, Thanking You.

Dear, Now I am Working As Operation Theatre Technician In Amrutha Institute of Medical Science , Kochin Hospital, My Passion Or Dreams To Be A Good Actor, Thanking You Dear.

Usually you start your acting career with your real name however it’s not like you can’t start with a stage name. There is no hard and fast rule. Tom Cruise’s real last name is Mapother, so early on he started with Cruise. It’s entirely up to you

@@johncwoodley Thanks, that helps.

Thank you!

Laughton is the greatest. Daniel Day-Lewis is the greatest living actor.

@@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633 you make a very solid argument. DDL is the only one with 3 wins but you make a solid point I can’t disagree with ! Touché !!

@@MikeyStreet314Thank you.

@@MikeyStreet314Kösz

He is okay 😆 😂. There is jackie chan , leonardo, shahrukh khan and list goes on and on lol but je is definitely good actor

@@erikserum9519You think those guys are on the same level as DDL? Not even close.

@@JaggusBaro lol I hate his accent literally 😂 🤣. I love srk and leonardo dicaprio and Robert de Niro and of course al pacino

@@JaggusBaro he isn't in their level bro that is why he isn't famous literally. He wins awards coz of critics coz he does what they want that is why but he isn't close to those guys .they are better actors and way charming than him as an actor.

@@manjuts5150 Hello what's up!!

@@nataliegrace1228 Thanks For U.

He's not underrated. He's considered the greatest living actor. Unfortunately, he has stopped acting. I hope he comes back. He's brilliant. Like so many great actors, Laughton, Olivier, he becomes the actor.

Crowd favorite

He's really a cobbler. Then, he may be "pretending" at that, too.
