    A great movie star is a guy like a prime Arnold, Eddie Murphy or Stallone...FAMOUS..movies do well etc.

    Great Actor speaks for itself; Oscar winning calibur actor.

    Both...those that crossover.

    Gimme some lists.

    I think Eddie Murphy was both. Comedic actors don't get the love from the Oscars but Eddie was a great actor and movie star.

    Denzel Washington and Tom Hanks would fit both, at least at some points in their careers. Robin Williams?

    In other words, another shitty generic, run-of-the-mill mega-bucks-action-movie star thread by Sly.



    At least you're consistently shit, son.

    A current example is Ryan Gosling. One of the biggest stars in Hollywood today, and also, a great actor.

    Have to say I really like him too. Which is weird because he basically only has one facial expression, ie slightly smug

    He has the look of a pretty boy who can't act and only gets by on his looks, I.E. Paul Walker, and Channing Tatum, but Gosling never turns in a bad performance.

    In fact, he turned in Oscar caliber performances in Half Nelson, and Blue Valentine.

    He was also excellent in The Place Beyond the Pines.

    He's minimalist but you feel like you can see cogs turning in there and his reactions, slight as they are, all seem natural and unaffected too. He's good.

    LMFAO!

    I knew you would say this nonsense.

    Fassbender isn't a movie star.

    He's neither movie star or great actor. You've always had a hard on for Ryan Gosling. I know not why.

    Sly gets butt hurt whenever somebody questions Fassweather err umm I mean Fassbender.

    It would take a fucking tard to doubt that Gosling is a quality actor.

    Brando is surely the ultimate example. Probably unsurpassable

    No, I wouldn't say that Connery was a great actor. He did, however, have a charisma that dominated the screen. But on acting ability alone he was GOOD, but not great.

    Definitely more of a movie star.

    Yes, Brando is the ultimate example.

    I think we've established the obvious guys that fit into both categories:

    Brando
    Newman
    Nicholson
    Denzel
    Pacino
    Hackman
    Redford

    Guys like that.
