Which actor among these had the greatest filmography overall???

I didn’t put in the list actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, or Joaquin Phoenix because I feel like their careers are still in the making, with some defining films/performances still ahead of them (especially DiCaprio and Phoenix).

Vote in the poll below and sound off in the comments.

Fine, I’ll go first.
To me it’s a toss up between Nicholson and DeNiro.
I’ll pick Nicholson for his eclectic choices.

1969: Easy Rider

1970: Five Easy Pieces

1971: Carnal Knowledge

1973: The Last Detail

1974: Chinatown

1975: The Passenger

1975: One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest

1980: The Shining

1981: The Postman Always Rings Twice

1981: Reds

1983: Terms of Endearment

1985: Prizzi’s Honor

1986: Heartburn

1987: Ironweed

1989: Batman

1992: A Few Good Men

1997: As Good As It Gets

2002: About Schmidt

2006: The Departed

MAYBE the greatest and most consistent filmography ever.

I voted for Nicholson, but it was hard to pass up Cary Grant. If Bogart had been included like Jonh-hathan mentioned I would have voted for him.

Nicholson. He had classics in every decade of his career. I’m surprised that no one mentioned Paul Newman.
