00:00Awful news today. Awful news. It appears that Gladiator 2 may be Denzel's last film ever.
00:13Whoa!
00:14In an interview, I believe with Empire Magazine, I'm not familiar with it, Denzel says, and
00:25it's a quote from him that there are very few films left for me to make that I am interested
00:36in.
00:37Ah!
00:38He is 69 years old.
00:40Which is young.
00:41So, well, I always feel like it is, but I'm...
00:45For Denzel, that is young.
00:46I'm getting up there. So...
00:47Wow.
00:48That's my guy. It hurts.
00:49I would argue...
00:50I thought you were going to cry for me.
00:51Yeah, it hurts.
00:53I would argue that he is a top five actor.
00:58Top three.
00:59When it comes to emergency, top five male actors, my lifetime.
01:06Uh-huh.
01:07Number five.
01:08I have Denzel at number three on my list.
01:12All right.
01:13Number three.
01:14Are you interested in who I have at number one?
01:16Yes, please.
01:17Am I shocking you?
01:18Number one.
01:19Anthony Hopkins.
01:20Ooh!
01:21What?
01:22Yeah.
01:23He's a good one.
01:24Yes.
01:25He is a good one.
01:26All time.
01:27Some extraordinary roles.
01:28Shine, don't look at me like that.
01:29Hannibal Lecter?
01:30No, I get you.
01:31I'm with you.
01:32I get it.
01:33Okay.
01:34Are you...
01:35Would you like to know who I have at number two?
01:36Yes, please.
01:37Sure.
01:38Number two.
01:39Leonardo DiCaprio.
01:40Yes.
01:41Okay.
01:42You're such a Leo guy.
01:43Number two.
01:44A massive range when it comes to characters that he has portrayed.
01:46That he does.
01:47He can play anybody.
01:49He is arguably in the most successful film of all time, Titanic.
01:55And I don't care if it's Catch Me If You Can, or if it is Wolf of Wall Street, whatever.
01:59Blood Diamond.
02:00I mean, he played a South African dude with a great...
02:03Okay.
02:04Greg's a big fan of The Revenant.
02:05I got...
02:06It was a good movie, though.
02:07I got Denzel at three.
02:08Yep.
02:10I have at number four...
02:12Number four.
02:13Robert De Niro.
02:14Okay.
02:15Yep.
02:16All right.
02:17I don't think you can have a list that doesn't have De Niro on it.
02:18I don't think so.
02:19I don't think so.
02:20Madden Seek.
02:21Terrifying movie.
02:22Number five.
02:23I have Al Pacino.
02:24Number five.
02:25Al Pacino.
02:26All right.
02:27It's a good list.
02:28That is a good list.
02:29Is there anybody that's not on there, please?
02:30Sam Jackson.
02:31Stanley Tucci.
02:32What?
02:33Stanley Tucci?
02:34One of the best.
02:35He's been in like three films.
02:36Yep.
02:37And they're all hits.
02:38Right.
02:39He doesn't miss.
02:40Stanley Tucci is not...
02:42He's a good actor.
02:43He's not...
02:44He is.
02:45If Stanley Tucci's in something, I'm like, that's going to be a hit.
02:48Stanley Tucci from the...
02:49Who am I missing?
02:50Do not say Tom Hank.
02:51Brad Pitt.
02:52No.
02:53I can't stand Tom Hank.
02:54Sam Jackson.
02:55American Treasure Tom Hank is not worth the film that you see him on.
03:00I would say Sam Jackson's one.
03:01Samuel L. Jackson is a great actor.
03:03He's more of a character actor, though.
03:06Another one that I think is an amazing actor.
03:09I know who this is going to be.
03:10No.
03:11And he doesn't maybe get his due because of the stupid case he went through.
03:15Johnny Depp.
03:16Johnny Depp.
03:17Yes.
03:18If he had a bigger body of work.
03:19Yes.
03:20Yeah.
03:21Now, listen.
03:22In the Twitch chat, somebody is suggesting Tom Cruise.
03:26He's been on a lot of stuff.
03:28He's like Will Smith.
03:29They got big, big budget box office hits when you look at their panel.
03:36But that has nothing to do with your acting.
03:38But he plays the same thing basically every time, Tom Cruise.
03:41He does now sort of because of Mission Impossible 4.
03:44I mean, he's been in he was in Taps early on.
03:49He was Eyes Wide Shut.
03:51Eyes Wide Shut.
03:52I love the problem with every f***ing studio right now.
03:57He is, you know, he was excellent in Born on the Fourth of July.
04:02There's one guy you're leaving off the list.
04:03There is?
04:04Yeah.
04:05What movie did you talk about?
04:06Well, I've talked about a million movies.
04:09That started your lead.
04:10Gladiator.
04:11Oh, Russell Crowe.
04:13Yes.
04:15I talked about Gladiator too.
04:16You think Russell Crowe?
04:17Russell Crowe.
04:18Think about his movies.
04:19And like you talk about range, right?
04:20He's been in a lot of stuff.
04:21But we're talking about range, right?
04:22And be able to do a lot of different things.
04:24Great in Gladiator.
04:25He was great in American Gangster.
04:27He was great in the, what's the movie, L.A. Confidential.
04:32The other one where he was with, who's the kid who played in the Bobby movie?
04:37Ryan Gosling.
04:38Yeah.
04:39He was in the movie with him where they were like two cops.
04:41I forget the name of it.
04:42You have to be able to do like comedy, drama, and you know, sometimes, like, that's why
04:46I think Robert De Niro is probably the number one in my mind because he can be funny.
04:51He can be soft, but he can be in like these scary movies that are kind of thrillery.
04:57Honorable mention on the Twitch chat.
04:58A lot of people bringing up Clint Eastwood.
05:00Yeah.
05:01Excellent actor.
05:02Right.
05:03But a lot of his movies might've been before.
05:05Sort of before my time.
05:06Yeah.
05:07Yeah.
05:08You know, because a lot of the Western movies and stuff like that.
05:10I really can't say before my time with a lot of things.
05:12Yeah, that's true.
05:13No, you can't.
05:14I mean, I can't, I can't even say it with telegrams.
05:17Oh, I got another one.
05:19Stage coaches.
05:20Before my time.
05:21I got another one for you.
05:23Greg.
05:24Yes.
05:25What?
05:26Sean Penn.
05:27I don't like Sean Penn though.
05:28But as an actor though.
05:29Yeah.
05:30I mean, personally, I don't like him.
05:31No, no.
05:32Personally, you might not like him.
05:33But as an actor.
05:34I can separate the two.
05:35Yeah.
05:36That's, I mean, like.
05:37Pretty good actor.
05:38Separate.
05:39Yeah.
05:40I mean, look at Denzel.
05:41Right.
05:42He's done.
05:43So his range is gigantic.
05:44Like, I love man on fire.
05:47I've said it a billion times.
05:48Oh, yeah.
05:49It's a great one.
05:50Arguably.
05:51Creasing Bell.
05:52Arguably the greatest film ever.
05:53Man on Fire.
05:54Then he was in the, he was in the Equalizer films.
05:57Yes.
05:58He did a whole, that's a, there's like five of them.
06:02Three of them.
06:03What do they call that?
06:04Sean, what do they call that?
06:05Trilogy.
06:06Trilogy.
06:07Well, it's not a trilogy.
06:08That's three.
06:09Trilogy?
06:10No.
06:11It's like.
06:12Then you have.
06:13Training Day.
06:14He played.
06:15A franchise?
06:16Training Day.
06:17A franchise.
06:18Then you have the, he played the drunk pilot guy.
06:23Yes.
06:24That was a great film as well.
06:25I mean, he's.
06:26His range is gigantic.
06:27Shoot program.
06:28Yeah.
06:29When I met Denzel, he is my, he's number one on my list.
06:33We know.
06:34Number one.
06:35But you're number two, the disrespect you're showing him right now that you're not bringing
06:39him up.
06:40Idris.
06:41Oh, Idris is good.
06:42But he doesn't, but he doesn't have the disrespect.
06:43Top 100 actors.
06:44Yeah.
06:45He's not.
06:46Where would you put Richard Gere?
06:47Uh, it'd be top one.
06:50I don't know.
06:51I mean, Richard Gere, maybe top 50.
06:54I mean, he was in the, he was in some good films, Officer and a Gentleman.
06:58There are people who've been in a great film and it kind of was like a one and done.
07:03He has a lot of good ones though.
07:05But it's about.
07:06You brought up range though.
07:08What's the difference?
07:09Like he hasn't done, like, it's kind of like similar characters and he's a good actor.
07:14Like a guy that we haven't even talked about is Christian Bale.
07:18Right.
07:19Yes.
07:20Somebody that can do.
07:21Batman baby.
07:22Great role.
07:23Like the Batman role.
07:25Great role, but not necessarily a giant body of work.
07:29Yes.
07:30He was in the fighter.
07:31American Psycho.
07:32American Psycho.
07:33Yes.
07:34He was in the movie.
07:35He was in with when he, um, damn, Heath Ledger would have been one of the best actors of
07:43all time.
07:44We're not doing would have been.
07:45Yes.
07:46I appreciate that.
07:47Sorry.
07:48Yes.
07:49All right.
07:50All right.
07:51Listen, I, your, your list, your top five is good.
07:54I might've slid, you know, one or two in there.
07:57I would have Denzel first, but you know, I ain't going to knock it.
07:59You would have Denzel ahead of Leonardo DiCaprio.
08:03Yes.
08:04I love Leo.
08:05I can't do it.
08:06I will.
08:07And Anthony Hopkins underappreciated.
08:08I like Anthony Hopkins.
08:11Underappreciated.
08:12All right.
