Most influential?

I don't know about influential, but these are the 4 best actors you can come up with.
Robert De Niro
Al Pacino
Marlon Brando
Jack Nicholson
Huge fan of Paul Newman and I want to put him on this list, but I can't put him ahead of the other four I have listed.

Hard to disagree with that list.

Pacino bombed the 2nd half of his career.
Just a parody from Scent of a Woman on. His hurrah career paled in comparison to his early career.
While Nicholson was still great ala As Good As It Gets.

Yeah those OP four weren’t very influential. Maybe Bogart.
Brando and Dean influenced a generation of actors.
Harry Ritz of the Ritz Brothers influenced Mel Brooks and his generation of comic actors.

He also had arguably the greatest run of any actor ever during the first half of his career. And why do actors like De Niro and Pacino constantly get criticized for being in decline/making bad movies while directors who haven’t made a great movie in ages such as Coppola, Tim Burton, Ridley Scott, Zemeckis, DePalma, etc.. always get a pass?

Hard disagree with you on that. Pacino stole movies for literally 25 years and had as good a run as you can imagine for a long time.

Pacino has a case for the goat, Nicholson, deniro are a hard no off their talent
Posted on 9/16/19 at 11:36 pm to A Menace to Sobriety
He was over the top and screaming in movies since 1993.
If that's stealing movies, then it's too easy to steal.
He was very subtle in Godfather (and lucky to have that role if you read the history on that) and had a nice 70's run and some 80's - and then...it wasn't that he was in bad movies, he was bad.

I mean Pacino is ridiculous in Scarface, it's like a cartoon. Can't even do the accent.
He was good in Glengarry Glenn Ross, Carlito's Way, Donnie Brasco (great)...
Scent of a Woman, Devil's Advocate, Any Given Sunday...just screaming Pacino.
Hey look I can scream, I'm a great actor. It became his shtick.

John Wayne is 100% going to be on this

You talking to me?
Or Bench?
You replied after me, so it seems like you're talking to me.
(If we want to get into 90's declines, I'd still say DeNiro outclassed Pacino in HEAT in their head-to-head where Pacino had already gone over the top and DeNiro still had restraint.
Not a big fan of Bill Simmons anymore but he's right when he says Pacino fricking ruins a potentially classic scene with him and DeNiro at the Diner.

No James Stewart
He was the second guy I thought of after John Wayne.
American iconic actors to the world.
Jimmy Stewart is in a movie often declared the best movie of all-time in Vertigo by AFL.
For years, The Searchers was declared the best movie of all-time by AFL...a film John Wayne happens to be in.
And both Jimmy and John are in The Shootist.
For their longevity of work and influence globablly, I don't know how you can't have John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart on Mt. Rushmore...
The rest can be argued over.

Tom Hanks should be #1 on this list.
