Tom Hanks is the most versatile actor today. He can play any part and play it superbly. Forrest Gump was the best role of his career. He was very funny, but very caring and warm in this part.

They are both really good, but I'd have to say Scarface. Just because you really have to pay attention to ALL the Godfather movies to get the full effect. LONG LIVE VITO CORELEONE :)

There were two movies.  The one in 1983 was based on another movie called Scarface made in 1932 starring Paul Muni and Ann Dvorak.\n\nThe '83 version with Al Pacino was a FAR superior movie, and compared to it, the '32 version should simply be ignored.\n\nHere's the first line of the plot summart on imdb.com\n\n"Remake of the 1932 film, which follows the rise of Tony Montana, a Cuban emigre who, with his friend Manny Ray, builds a strong criminal empire in early 1980's Miami."

The male lead in Capote was Philip Seymour Hoffman. He played the role of Truman Capote and won his first Academy Award for it.\n\nHe has been seen earlier in Scent of a Woman. Watch out for him this May along with Tom Cruise in Mission Impossible-3.

I would have to choose Pacino....He was in the best Mafia movies  Donnie Brasco, The Godfathers, Scarface etc.\n\nbut DeNiro was good in the Bronx tale..(not really mafia) and Goodfellas

I definitely think the only guy for the job is Jack Nicholson.  He played that part so well.  He was great in that movie.

I love Al Pacino but i have to go with Robert Deniro by far. If you think about it they are both similar actors. They both starred in Heat, they are both in great gangster films but Deniro wins. Deniro has Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Taxi Driver, Casino, and hes my favorite character in Jackie Brown (even though its a small role). Then Pacino's got Scarface, Dogday Afternoon, and Donnie Brasco. I might not have named a major film for both of them but i dont have to because Deniro is that kind of actor that you can like or he can make you like him through his acting. Pacino has that to but not as good as Deniro, like in Heat at the end, I was rooting for Deniro. And in Donnie Brasco I liked Johnny Depp way more then Pacino. Oh and by the way I didnt know this is about who's better known till I wrote this whole paragrah on who's a better actor but Deniro is probably better known because hes in more movies.

The Road to Perdition. A great story. One of Tom Hanks' better works.
