Guys I can consider in the same leage as Clint, purely as an actor over the past 50 years:
quote:
Dustin Hoffman
Philip Seymour-Hoffman (2 Hoffmans, go figure?)
Kevin Spacey
Anthony Hopkins
Paul Newman
All of these are better actors than Clint by a significant margin.
And the only reason Norton is off the list is because Clint has been in approximately 187 more films than Norton. Norton's 4 best performances are probably better than anything Clint did. Denzel too.

Clint never really stretched as an actor except for stuff like Play Misty or Tightrope, and even then.
And I was countering the "Top 10" argument by naming guys with decent body of work with acting chops over and above Clint's demonstrated level.
Heck, I'd say Clint is the number 1 living movie star, male certainly - Sophia Loren and Lauren Bacall may invoke just enough international superstardom and harken back to the Golden Age enough to possibly pass him, but as you said - Clint has 67 IMDB acting credits, and even a casual film fan will be familar with 30+ of his acting performances, and 20 + of films he's directed/produced.
