Yours with the reason why?
Kevin Spacey for his work in films and TV. If I had to pick just one of his skills that I admire, it'd be his ability to almost invariably pick absorbing roles in well written screenplays.

Tom Hanks (practically everything he does)
Ian McKellan (for stage)
Alan Rickman (RIP)
Leonardo diCaprio (for Django alone)
So many outstanding actors makes you wonder how Tom Cruise gets any work! 😲
Leo was outstanding in Django Unchained [2012]. I've liked him since Blood Diamond [2006]. I used to think he was just another pretty boy, and I wasn't terribly impressed with his work in Titanic [1997]. He and I share the same birthday, he was born exactly two years before me. I keep waiting for him to call. 😞
Matt Damon and Scarlett Johansen in "We Bought a Zoo"
(one of my all time favorite movies which was filmed here and based
on a true account which occurred in the UK).
Footnote: Its memorable last line is simply: "Why not?"
"Offer"?
I meant victim.
Offer is Danish (and Norwegian and Swedish) word for victim.
Sometimes I have synapse short circuit and then I use Danish word instead of English (*"og" "eller" "at" etc.).
"Victim-villain" - I had in mind film "The Night Porter".
"offer" is false friend in English-Danish
as for example
"barn" which means child in D-S-N.
Bob Hope for his USO tours to entertain troops in combat zones,from WW2 to the Persian Gulf.
He did it constantly throughout WW2, then in 1948 he made it a Christmas tradition to go on tour and entertain troops overseas. Every year until he got too old to travel.

Plus his "Road" movies with Bing Crosby and Dorothy Lamour are all good.

Yes - easy to dismiss him as just a "Pretty Boy" but he is a seriously good actor.
Clooney also is under-rated because of his looks.

He went full tard in Gilbert Grape and pulled it off beautifully, he obviously studied and got all the facial/speech/physical nuances of retards down perfectly.
Here's a good scene:

Think perhaps you need to update your terminology.

He is a great actor though.
"Full tard" was a reference to Tropic Thunder....you never go full tard as an actor. .
(Actually it's full retard but full tard is how I remembered the scene)
Also as a retired teacher that spent a lot of time in special ed we commonly talked about our various problems "tending tards" in the break room when nobody else was around.
