Over a boozy Australia Day lunch several couples tried to narrow down, to a field of three, the best actors in the world.
Question is, if you were to name who you consider to be the best 3 actors in the world, who would it be?

Even though he rarely, if ever, challenges himself, Robert Downey Jr is an outstanding actor.

Off the top of my head:
Leonardo DiCaprio
Merryl Streep
Helen Mirren
The latter two are their for their ability to play well known people and be completely convincing.
I'll think of others later. Matt Damon is always very good. Then there's the supporting actors like Don Cheadle and Christopher Plummer who always deliver.
I just read JK's post and realised I forgot about Daniel Day Lewis. He could sneak ahead of Helen Mirren.

Tempted to throw Jeff Bridges in for my final selection coz he's a favourite, but I think there's probably better out there .. Brendan Gleeson is another favourite whom I rate as quality, as is Spacey.
Hmm, this is tough!!

I think Tom Cruise is a better actor than he is given credit for sometimes. He's not my top 3 but a good actor all the same.

For the record, we arrived at :
Tom Hanks
Sir Anthony Hopkins
Meryl Streep
and about 63 beers, 14 bottles of wine, 3 sunburnt kids, 15 people in the pool, male v female backyard cricket match, piles of chops/snags on the BBQ. Hey, it was Australia Day!
