Who do you think is the better actor?

I'm going to go with Billy Bob Thornton.... but I'm very interested in seeing how Quaid will do as Bill Clinton in his new movie.

Thornton easily IMO because of Sling Blade

Other than slingblade. Billy Bob plays himself.

Of course DQ is the same in every movie he has been in.

I like more DQ movies, but I would give the edge to BB for slingblade too.

Even when Billy Bob plays himself he's still better than Quaid.

I guess it is just personal preference, but I like Dennis Quaid a lot better.

It's really a toss up for me....

Both have been in some fantastic movies. Quaid being more charismatic on screen, Billy Bob is probably the better actor (good not great).

I liked Quaid in Any Given Sunday. I thought he did great as the veteran quarterback. He didn't overact in Any Given Sunday which IMO he does in many of his films.

Quaid as Doc Holiday in Wyatt Earp was awesome. First time I saw it I caught after it had started and had no idea who that was...

Billy Bob gets my vote. His role in Monsters Ball and Bad Santa are two of my favorite.

And when I was told, I didn't believe it.

I'll still go with Thornton, though.

Thornton by a mile.

Quaid blows.

Thornton does bad movies for paychecks. He could give a shite less.
