He's the lead in a couple of my favorite movies of all time but he plays the same dude in all of his movies that I have seen. A young, arrogant douchebag that wins in the end.

Most consistent may be a better adjective to use than greatest.

He is a bankable actor with international appeal that can put butts in seats across the world. THAT’s what matters.
He also possesses a generational charisma that many consider the “it” factor. You can want to punch him in the face and want to hug him at the same time. I’ve worked with 2 actors and 1 preacher who have this. It’s a gift.
None of that means great actor. Phillip Seymour Hoffman was a great actor.

No...but also now with a HORRIBLE recent face-lift. He doesn't even look like himself in the new movie trailer. I dont know why these stars feel the need to destroy their faces and why they dont learn from the Madonnas of the world.

GREAT actor? Not really

Here's one of his greatest roles in my opinion:
That one really set him over the top for me because I never imagined he could be that damn funny.

Actor? No.
Movie star? Absolutely yes.

Depends on what your definition of "One of the greatest actors" of all time is.
Impressive list of films yes.
Longevity absolutely, few have stayed at the top this long or maybe ever. A few have stayed at the top, but even fewer have cranked out hits consistently. Most actors even the biggest ones hit a wall and the hits disappear. I think this maybe his is most impressive feat.
Now if we are talking about pure acting skills, I would call him mediocre at best.
