Dubbed the King of Pop, singer-song writer Michael Jackson was born in Gary, Indiana on August 29, 1958. As a child, he was lead singer of the Jackson family’s popular Motown group, The Jackson 5.

I would be lying if I said that Harrison Ford was one of my favorite actors. I mean I really like the guy, but I just don’t think he has been in enough movies in recent years to warrant consideration. That is not to say I don’t enjoy his movies. I think he has starred in more great films that most actors his age.

One of the more interesting directors out there these days is Oliver Stone. Oliver Stone is a no newcomer to the movie industry; his first directed movie was released in 1971. For nearly four decades now, Stone has been behind the lens of a wide array of films, many of which have become classics.

When discussing prolific, yet modest actors, one person who definitely comes to mind is Tommy Lee Jones. Throughout the years, the man has been in so many movies, yet he certainly does not seem like he has a Hollywood ego. Tommy Lee Jones definitely appears to love acting and I love the movies he is in.

One director who is often overlooked in conversations of the greats is Ridley Scott. Sir Ridley Scott has been putting out quality films for the better part of four decades, and continues to direct fantastic movies. Few people have as many accolades and iconic films under their belt as he does.

When it comes to listing my favorite actors of all time, Robert De Niro is at the top of the list. The man has been showcasing his talent in major motion pictures for the better part of 40 years, and shows no signs of slowing down any time soon. It is clear at this point in time that acting is much more than a profession for Robert De Niro, it is a way of life.

Jack Nicholson is without a doubt of the greatest actors of his generation, if not ever. There are so many movies that the man has starred in which have achieved iconic status, either from audiences, critics, the Academy or all of the above. When discussing the best Nicholson films, it is important to cite several films which help to showcase Jack’s versatility.

Choosing a list of my favorite actors is not always an easy thing; there are constantly people rotating in and out of the top five. One actor who hovers around that mark is Kevin Spacey. You cannot question that this mysterious actor is incredibly talented and versatile. His 2 Academy Awards help display that.

In my opinion, and the opinions of the majority of movie fans, one of the greats actors of all time is, without a doubt, Dustin Hoffman. Ever since his breakout role in 1967′s The Graduate, Hoffman has been one of the biggest stars in Hollywood.

Any time you are going to talk about actors based on talent, one person who should be thrown into the discussion is Philip Seymour Hoffman. Hoffman is a classically trained theater actor, and I think that shows; his poise and versatility are amazing things to watch.
