Nicholson is the greatest movie star of the set but Hoffman’s an actual actor among them all.

They’ve all had extensive careers and they’ve all been great since the beginning. If I’m forced to choose it would be RdN, which seems an arbitrary choice since they’re all masters in their own ways.

Nicholson had one of the best runs of any actor ever from the late 60’s to the late 80’s. All of the other actors are incredible but I’m not sure they could have done what he did with Five Easy Pieces, which I honestly think is one of the best performances of all time.

Nicholson was the biggest star and has arguably the greatest filmography of all time, but De Niro is the actor’s actor. In my own humble opinion, Raging Bull was the greatest cinematic performance of all time.</p>
 

1. De Niro

2. Pacino

3. Hoffman

4. Nicholson

 

(IMO, all are top 10 of all time

Nicholson is the best at projecting that cynical rebellious character(s) which he owns.
RDJ doesn’t have that distinction and his range is equal to Jack’s.
