The Independent released a list of what they consider the greatest film actors of the 21st century (so far), and the results are… interesting, to say the least. From Tom Cruise ranked dead last at #60 to Emma Stone snagging second place above other beloved actors like Denzel Washinton, Cate Blanchett, and Leonardo DiCaprio, it's fun to see how divisive actors can be.
Which actors do you think should be higher on the list and which do you wish they left off?
Latest additions: Tom Cruise, Amy Adams, Stephen Graham
