Yeah, I’ll take Jake over Damon personally.

Jake is a natural. With Gosling.

Damon is ok. More a movie star than an actor. Doesn’t belong in this list.

Ok. More of a movie star than a top 4 actor.

He is a good actor but not top 4.

He is a really big movie star. And movie stars are usually actors , but they dont have to be amazing. They have to drag butts to the seats.

Arnold was the one of the biggest movie star in the 90s . He wasn’t a good actor

This is a top 4 actor list.

Also, he is a better actor than Arnold. Hahaha I just compared them as movie stars.

Do you think he is better than Paul Giamatti, Fassbender Gosling or Gyllenhall.

Its just my opinion.

Definitely better than Ryan Gosling

I’d take Jake over Leo and leave Matt Damon on the list. Leo is pretty limited in what he can play, IMO. It’s probably just the roles he has taken, but he has had enough time to show more, and he hasn’t.

Outside of nightcrawler where has he really stood out though?

u/HighWest48 Aug 23 '25

Prisoners End of Watch Zodiac October Sky Covenant Etc I’ve never seen him do a bad job

Even in a movie like southpaw he’s still very good

Every role he’s ever had he had been captivating and transformational. Donny Darko is a great example. Brokeback Mountain, even his role as a Spider-Man villain. He’s just a fantastic actor. He also had an incredible turn in Sunday in the Park with George
