Brad Pitt Is The Top Male Actor..Period!


Just a post to support what I believe is the Top Male Actor of my time.From Fight Club to Troy,to The Assassination of Jesse James By The Coward Robert Ford,to Inglorious Bastards,to Money Ball,to Killing Them Softly,to World War Z,to 12 Years A Slave,he is as real as an actor can get in portraying the characters he does.Haters can hate,and lovers can loath him,I'm neither,but I am an avid supporter of his work.I just call it like I see It,and when I see actors,that when they portray a character do it in a way that makes you not even see them as an actor,but as that character,I support them.Other actors I support that fit this mold,are actors such as Samuel L. Jackson,John Travolta,Denzel Washington,and several others.People always give him a hard time,because he has the looks,or he has the woman,or he seems cocky,and I say it's because he is from another section of reality that most of us will never understand.That reality is the reality of a major movie star,one who has to prepare for a major role constantly,from growing hair long,or cutting it all off,to becoming that character so much so that we as the audience understand it,or feel for that character.This reality is one that many don't understand,you need only look so far as Heath Ledger to see how immersed an actor can get into portraying characters.I personally appreciate when I see an actor in one movie look a certain way,then 4 months or so later and see the same actor,with maybe a full beard and long hair,or short hair,and I don't mean when they have fake hair,etc applied.This shows how much preparation was taken into portraying that character,and I surely respect that.Say what you will,but Brad Pitt is my pick for Top Male Actor from 1998 on.Thanks C.Young

Anyone can grow a beard or longer hair. Changing physically for a role can be important, but it's just one piece of the puzzle. But I agree Brad Pitt is an incredible actor. Particularly the last few years. He can be in and out of form, just like every actor, but when he's at his best, he's up there with the best of all time. The Tree of Life and The Counselor are masterclass performances.

^ You're all delusional. Probably paid agents of Mr Pitt's. NO ONE but you worthless MoFo's thinks Brad Pitt is the top male actor out there. No one. Dwayne Johnson, Tom Cruise, DiCaprio, Christian Bale are paid higher salaries and as such are better, hotter and more "in demand" actors overall.

I agree 100% after he played my dad's best friend which I'm not going to use his real name!! But the movie Spy Games were from actual events/true story which ever you prefer!! But just to hear about how he flew down to Texas, to get to know him, study him, just goes to show the work brad Pitt puts into these great movies!!
Anyways there's to much to write about on the stories I was told, but one thing is certain. He is a stand up, nice guy, that is the top male actor period!!
Good post!!!

So quality is relative to salary is it?

Dwayne Johnson and Tom Cruise Really!! You just invalidated your sentence right there, I will agree on the other two though.
