Anthony Hopkins - The most versatile actor ever?

[Winston]

I'm amazed at how Anthony Hopkins can play so many different types of roles. I've never seen anyone that diverse before. He can play a politician, noble man, artist, wild man, or a serial killer and psychopath. He can portray Richard Nixon very well, like he did in the movie "Nixon" by Oliver Stone, or a serial killer psychopath like in "Silence of the Lambs". He has got to be the most versatile actor in Hollywood. I can't think of anyone who compares.

Look at his film credits and you'll see what I mean.

I've never understood why Hollywood thinks Tom Hanks is versatile. No way. Tom Hanks is very bland and average looking with no charisma, charm, or magnetism. He is way overrated. His only asset is that he can portray characters in a very modest down to earth manner in that when he acts, it does not look like he's acting. But that's all. His characters are still very bland and dull. He does not portray anything deep or complex like Anthony Hopkins does. And his characters are nowhere near as versatile as Anthony Hopkins either. I think he's way overrated.

Leonardo DiCaprio has also portrayed a wide variety of roles of course. However, he seems to play the same type of character in most of them. He is very good when it comes to extreme acting and portraying extreme emotions. He gives characters a lot of energy. But he puts almost the same act in every character. So his acting isn't that diverse, even though his roles are. Plus, his face is round and wide, whereas most stars have oval looking faces, so he is unusual in that sense. Hollywood doesn't usually cast people with wide faces as stars.

Also, he is cast in a lot of roles where he doesn't look the part. Like when he was cast as Howard Hughes in "The Aviator" or as J. Edgar Hoover in "J Edgar" when he looks nothing like Howard Hughes or J. Edgar Hoover. He is only cast in them because he portrays characters well with a lot of energy.

You all agree with my observations?
