As much as I love him, I thought that the actors I listed had more impressive resumes

His list would be:
Gandhi
My Left Foot
The Last of the Mohicans
The Crucible
Gangs of New York
There Will Be Blood

Imo the actors I have listed have a better resume.

That's too tough for me, but the question I am asking is who has the most impressive resume.

I'd have to go with De Niro or Hanks.

For current actors in their prime, resume wise, DiCaprio and Pitt have the best. There are a ton of great actors out there a.k.a Guy Pierce and DDL. They are great in everything they do, but just not the amount as a guy like Pitt.

You're missing some classic actors too. Charlie Chaplin, Gregory Peck, James Stewart, Henry Fonda.

Thanks for actually giving an answer.

I really wanted to list some of these actors, however I am not as familiar with some of their movies, so I went with the actors that I felt comfortable listing in the films that I've actually seen.

I agree 100% with you bro. Might throw in Robert Duvall as well. How long did it take you to type everyone's resumes?
