Well, I would have to pull up some of the silent era actors and films to answer that question.

When you had actor/directors then the parts were made for the actors, and the actors for the parts.

That Barney Rubble, what an actor....

Love Being There. One of my favorite movies too!

It has been years since I watched Lawrence of Arabia. Reading Lawrence in Arabia right now so I should give the movie another viewing.

+1 on Peter Sellers - Being There

How about
George Burns - Hey God!
Zero Mostel & Gene Wilder - The Producers
Topol - Fiddler On The Roof
Gene Hackman - Enemy of the State
Arnold - Terminator

and just for some humor
Pamela Anderson - Baywatch (slow motion running on the beach scenes)

Keith Mcready in "color of money", playing the role of a money player with the character name of "Grady Seasons". Seasons..mentioned by Paul Newman, saying he was the top mpney player. Thing is, McCready really was a top money player hired for the movie. Handed the script, he read the lines, informed director Scorcese (sp?) that no money player would say that. So, he was asked what he'd say...

Hell, he shoulda-woulda-coulda been a character actor. Would have paid much better than the wild lifestyle he was leading at the time.

Anyway..just a 14 second clip, but he did make it real:

Ahh, yes, Harold Lloyd certainly comes to mind. Timeless stuff.

Lon Chaney Sr, again in most of his roles

Seriously though, Mr Feldman and Mr Wilder are both pretty strong.

He's also got that going in his role of Boss Spearman in "Open Range," one of my favorite westerns. If you've never seen it, be sure to do so... and be prepared to be knocked over by Annette Bening's performance, too... nothing flashy, just a good, solid, real deal performance that kinda sneaks up on you.

You mean 'Bluebonnet'? A great movie!
The final gunfight is one of the most realistic ever.

This got me thinking about what a profound career Dustin Hoffman has had. Two other knockout performances, IMHO, are:

Louis Degas, Papillon 1973




Enrico Salvatore "Ratso" Rizzo, Midnight Cowboy 1969
