Mount Rushmore of Cinema: Four Actors Who Defined Excellence
What makes a truly great actor? Is it versatility, iconic roles, or the ability to completely transform into a character? This question sparked a passionate debate as we constructed our Mount Rushmore of cinema's greatest actors.
The conversation begins with amusing detours into everyday grievances—like the peculiar sight of people using chopsticks for buffet sushi at a Chinese restaurant—before diving into the heart of the matter. Gene Hackman emerges as our first nominee, with his dynamic range from "The French Connection" to "Unforgiven" setting a high standard. Jack Nicholson follows, his unparalleled performances in "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "The Shining" earning him universal acclaim among us.
Clint Eastwood's remarkable evolution from spaghetti western star to acclaimed director and actor secures his position, while classic cinema gets its due with Humphrey Bogart's timeless appeal. The nominations continue with heated cases made for Daniel Day-Lewis's method intensity, Al Pacino's commanding presence, and the surprising late-career brilliance of Brad Pitt.
What's fascinating is how each great actor represents different elements of the craft—some excel through versatility, others through sheer screen presence or the ability to disappear completely into a role. Paul Newman, Tom Hanks, and Jeff Bridges round out a distinguished list that spans generations of Hollywood excellence.
The episode concludes with the realization that our conversation focused entirely on male actors—prompting plans for a future episode dedicated to the greatest actresses of all time. Join us for this lively debate and decide who would make your own cinematic Mount Rushmore!
three guys around a table and by three guys.
Speaker 3:We're talking about three friends a lawyer, an engineer and a school superintendent and just like our personalities, our opinions vary and we certainly don't always agree. Whether we're discussing the best of or giving our tips and tricks of, things in everyday life, you're sure to learn something if you stick around our producer rick mellon.
Speaker 2:Big shout out to rick uh for dr dr. Yes, dr dr, hello dr dr dr thornton rick has uh given us an idea for an episode of really the best of um we uh, according to rick, here, he would like us to discuss our favorite favorite actor or actress and uh then name our mount rushmore. Uh, first of all we'll do actors and uh then we'll see where we're at we're talking like peewee herman and jim varney and people like that well, no, I mean burn.
Speaker 1:Let's see where's the uh marks is going to be somebody who's never been had a color tube on their tv so there is going to be one, I promise.
Speaker 3:Imagine it was jim smith.
Speaker 2:He was in the academy award of 1837 that's well before the academy awards and before motion pictures by the way, can I?
Speaker 1:back down real quick. You know, are you charlie chaplin? Is that the one you're gonna have?
Speaker 3:I remember when the talkies came in he was so good with the silent kid or whatever it was. It was so great hey, real quick before we get into this. Yes, I'm gonna tell you something. You know what, really?
Speaker 2:grinds my gears. Oh this, it could have been a whole episode pet peeve.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I wanted to do some pet peeves, but I just had the chinese buffet for dinner and it was good. I've not been there probably a year, year and a half.
Speaker 1:It was phenomenal, yep I've not been there in probably with me I remember seeing you there one time. That's probably the last time I was there. It's been at least five years ago and I have no intentions on going.
Speaker 3:My wife won't let me go. When my kids lived at home, we used to go all the time. Every holiday we were there. But you go to the Chinese buffet Tonight it was $17. Per person. It was just me. It was $17. And they expected a tip.
Speaker 2:You know what really grinds my gears though. Yeah.
Speaker 3:You're at a Chinese buffet. Yeah, grinds my gears though. Yeah, you're at a chinese buffet. Yeah, and it is. You're amongst them. Number one. Number two I'm over there with a fork eating all of my chinese food a mongolian grill, which was excellent and I look over and there are people eating their sushi with chopsticks. Okay, number one, you're at a Chinese buffet, and you really need to get okay.
Speaker 1:My biggest issue with that whole statement is they were eating sushi at a Chinese buffet. But hold on.
Speaker 3:They're eating sushi, but yet they have to do it with chopsticks. I'm like I'm over the fort throwing things back. You're eating buffet sushi that obviously was not hand rolled in the back. You're eating buffet sushi and obviously was not hand-rolled in the back. You're eating buffet sushi and you think I must do it the proper way. I must use chopsticks. That really irritates me.
Speaker 1:That doesn't bother me at all, it bothers me 100%.
Speaker 3:Listen, you are not above society. Give me a break. It's like going to Jeff Ruby's and ordering a hamburger steak.
Speaker 2:Give me a break. I didn't know where we were going with me. Oh so irritating. But my question on chinese buffets why does every chinese buffet you go to have the exact same, like you know, dessert it's. It's like jello and rice pudding, or banana pudding.
Speaker 3:If you're lucky, I get the fried fried and the little fried donut things that's so good in the in the uh and the cookies that are exactly the same right, and it doesn't matter which one. I don't I never go to that part, I go to the donuts and over there by the chicken legs and the chicken wings but you know sushi at the chinese buffet with chopsticks.
Speaker 2:Well, since we're diverting to grinding our gears for a second, I just want to say one thing and then I'll you know, I'll save this for another episode in baseball major league baseball which I've been a fan of my entire life there was baseball when you were born.
Speaker 1:Well, yeah, it was a little different back then honus wagner is my favorite player, but why?
Speaker 2:tobacco card. Why in the modern game of baseball, if the ball hits the dirt, we have to throw the ball out and not use it and get a brand new ball every time because it messes up the seams. Oh that's ridiculous. As a pitcher you want to have a little you want to have a little scuff on that. Look what greg maddox right one of the greatest pitchers of all time. Give him a little scuff. He's going to use it to make the ball.
Speaker 2:That's why a lot of the players put grease or something under the brim of their head yes that way you can get the ball a little little little cleaner that way yeah, or you just rub a little jalapeno up your nose and get it snotting and you just, you put snot on ball. I've never heard that.
Speaker 1:If we're talking about pet peeves. Grind your gears, Grind my gears. You have to know your audience when you're being sarcastic Agreed. For example, today my son Reagan got offended by something somebody said because that person didn't know their audience.
Speaker 3:Was that person? You no, oh.
Speaker 1:No, it was the good one. Really Wow the good one Reagan has his organic chemistry final on Wednesday, yeah. And the good one made a comment and said why aren't you studying for it now? Then You're just relaxing on the couch.
Speaker 3:Okay, what's the problem? Yeah, I agree, it's organic chemistry. It's a Sunday night, why aren't you? Studying and the test is Wednesday afternoon, so what's the problem Right, I agree, I know my audience and if I was paying for his tuition it'd be like get your butt off the couch and study.
Speaker 1:I mean, it was just like I'm good, Wow, you know he'll be fine yeah.
Speaker 3:Is that what really grinds your gears, or is it the irritation from the grinding?
Speaker 1:of the gears. Yeah, it was Reagan getting aggravated that.
Speaker 3:Craig made the comment. Why aren't you studying for this?
Speaker 1:important exam. Craig, don't need to worry about it. Yeah, that's a valid point, that's my issue, craig don't need to worry about it. Yeah, that's a valid point. That's my issue, craig don't need to worry about it?
Speaker 2:No, that's valid.
Speaker 1:That's what I meant by know your audience. That doesn't need to be Craig's comment.
Speaker 2:So in other words, you could have said know your role and shut your mouth.
Speaker 1:Craig needed shut up. I thought you were talking about the other way.
Speaker 3:No, no, no, craig needed shut up, because I All right, I agree with Craig. Well, reagan had been studying this morning.
Speaker 1:He's going to study this evening. He was taking a little break. Hey, stay in your lane, josh, you know, stay in your lane.
Speaker 2:I have to. That's one I have to use a lot with some folks. You know people get worried and upset about things that should not concern them. Stay in your lane. You know what I'm saying. Vote for me, Okay.
Speaker 1:So, oh, now, before we get on to, we're going to really grind my gears, you know what, before we get on to.
Speaker 2:Can we discuss Seth Rollins, dr Mellon, yes, it's the All-Star break.
Speaker 1:That's true. It is yes, and your Reds are above 500.
Speaker 3:That is a major accomplishment.
Speaker 1:They're 50 and 47. Three games. Hey, pretty good.
Speaker 2:You know Better than the.
Speaker 1:Rockies. That's not really saying much. You can also say better than the White Sox.
Speaker 3:That's true.
Speaker 1:What about they're tied with Rick?
Speaker 2:Mellon's Tampa Bay Rays. Yep, and Tampa Bay Rays are the only team in baseball that probably has a lower payroll than the Reds. I'd say there's more than that. The Reds just pay very stupid decisions. They sign a Gmer Candelario who couldn't hit his way out of a wet sack and then release him and still owe him $18 million.
Speaker 1:Yes, but are the mints the worst team at that? They're still paying bobby, we're still paying grippy jr million bucks.
Speaker 2:What's?
Speaker 1:what's the issue with it?
Speaker 2:um well, the all valid points, all-star break, great time, cubs are rolling yeah, let's talk about our bet, where we're at.
Speaker 1:Do you know how far they're back? I'm gonna say seven games. What do you think? We're in the hunt? You're in, we're at. Do you know how far they're back? I'm going to say seven games. What do you think we're in the hunt? You're in the hunt, I agree. Do you know how far you're back in our bet? Six and a half, seven and a half. Okay, we were close.
Speaker 2:Yeah, we were close.
Speaker 1:So the Cubs are 57 and 39. And one other thing.
Speaker 2:Yankees do. The Reds did that earlier this year against the Yankees Did well against New York. That's unimpressive. But long story short. Seth Rollins really injured. Okay, so the Reds Hold on.
Speaker 1:I had to fact check you. The Reds payroll is 22nd in the major leagues. Okay, $115 million. Okay, tampa Bay is $79 million. The Cubs are 10th6 million. Yeah but, I mean, but you got two teams above 300 million dollars, as my brother, and it's not the yankees the bet should have been a shocker win per dollar then we'd be close.
Speaker 2:Uh, seth rollins, is he really hurt seth rollins?
Speaker 1:is really I think so, and it's everything I read last night said that he was supposed to be LA nut, and when it happened.
Speaker 2:You could see that it was, you know. Uh, well, as I said the my text I sent to you as soon as it happened. Uh, I think this is a work. I don't believe this for a second or whatever.
Speaker 1:But then, five seconds later, when LA Knight he gets up and lets LA not do his finishing move instantly and it's over, it's like okay, it's like don't hurt me anymore.
Speaker 2:Yeah, nope, it's real, it's real. Uh, wwe, now that's a tough one.
Speaker 1:Yeah, that's a tough one but how bad, seriously.
Speaker 2:Yep, last night goldberg's going out. Yep, they just cut his speech off halfway through. What was that they gave?
Speaker 1:him like 15 seconds and then gone. Had to play three minutes worth of commercials come out there and said this night's all about you. What do you got to say yeah, I'm here to say over, so here's the thing I mean ridiculous you know, and for a 58 year old man, he looked legit, yeah, he looked good.
Speaker 2:The number of and, and let's just say, my main man, gunter the ring, with no hands, he carried him, he carried him in that match, he did made him look good.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I mean he's. I sent you a text saying how good he was selling things at the start of it.
Speaker 2:Yep and here's the thing saturday night's main event. I love the concept of saturday night's main event. I love the concept of saturday night's main event. I grew up with it.
Speaker 1:Yeah, I remember it was like what's a month when I was growing up.
Speaker 2:It was awesome, right, but the production of that last night commercials every nine minutes, man yeah way too many commercials. They gotta, they gotta, figure this out. So anyway, 11 minutes in, we haven't talked about one actor, so chris desponette no one has ever said that. I know it's a little disturbing. We might as well just go there.
Speaker 1:I know who my favorite actor is.
Speaker 2:Let's go.
Speaker 1:You going or I'm going, I'll go.
Speaker 3:He just called me in Do it Hit it.
Speaker 2:Are we doing top four or just one? Just one right now, just one to start Gene.
Speaker 3:Hackman.
Speaker 1:Gene Hackman was good. He's dead now?
Speaker 3:No, he's good, he's dead now Okay.
Speaker 1:He gone, gene Hackman.
Speaker 3:How weird was his death by the way.
Speaker 2:Very odd, but he also had dementia. Didn't rats eat him and stuff no, and his wife.
Speaker 1:He had Alzheimer's or dementia? Yeah, it was terrible.
Speaker 3:He didn't know where he was.
Speaker 2:Who are you people and where's my horse? Correct Gene.
Speaker 3:Hackman, why is he going from when he played Popeye Doyle in the French Connection? Never seen it when he went to Little Bill Daggett from Unforgiven when he played I can't remember the coach's name in Hoosiers.
Speaker 1:Great movie.
Speaker 3:When he was the admiral in Behind Enemy Lines, when he was in Bat 21 with Danny Glover. He has played such dynamic roles and has absolutely killed it in all of them.
Speaker 2:I don't disagree that he's a fantastic actor. However, in those that you just mentioned, I think only two of them. Two of them, he won the academy award for two of those, of course, and one was for the supporting actor as bill daggett. So how many times was he like the leading man?
Speaker 3:um and hoosiers and the french connection.
Speaker 1:Yeah, those two for sure um oh, there was another one that was like behind him. Oh, he's been in several.
Speaker 3:Oh, yeah, yeah yeah, but he's just an incredible dynamic actor. Yeah, he is. And the other thing is, if you ever read anything about him, he was such a likable personality as well, which is huge in Hollywood. Yeah, so Gene Hackman's my guy.
Speaker 1:I think he's phenomenal All right Greg Jack Nicholson's, mine Boom.
Speaker 3:He's good.
Speaker 1:Strong. Oh yeah, I mean from the Shining to all the way up to comedic roles in the late 90s, early 2000s. He's great in everything that he does.
Speaker 2:One Flew Over the.
Speaker 3:Cuckoo's Nest that's my favorite role ever by him, incredible.
Speaker 1:The Shining's my favorite.
Speaker 3:Oh yeah, All the Shining's my favorite.
Speaker 2:Oh yeah, all work and no play makes Jack a dope boy. Wendy, darling angel, love of my life, I'm not going to hurt you.
Speaker 1:I'm just going to bash your brains in.
Speaker 3:What's wrong with that? You know what the worst scene in that movie was when Wendy was carrying the bat up the steps. Like can you not hold a baseball bat?
Speaker 2:She's like holding it halfway up on it.
Speaker 1:I'm like she, you not hold a baseball bat. She's like holding it halfway up on it.
Speaker 2:I'm like she was ready to bunt. I mean she was ready to bunt.
Speaker 3:She was like Ty Cobb, it was terrible. Here's Johnny.
Speaker 1:Nicholson's great man. He's great when you get past that Anger management.
Speaker 2:He's hilarious in that. A few good men.
Speaker 3:You can't handle the truth.
Speaker 1:Yeah, in he's great in I mean, that's an iconic ending to that show one of my favorites is as good as it gets. Yeah, the dog when. When he's got ocd here, I mean I quote that movie all the time. Yeah, I mean it's like, um, yeah, uh, I hate the doggy. I hate the doggy and I mean he goes 62 bucks and I mean you know it's just fantastic I have a fun fact.
Speaker 3:Oh, okay, fun fact, jack Nicholson appeared on an episode of the Andy Griffith Show. Did he really?
Speaker 2:He did.
Speaker 3:Yeah, he was on Andy Griffith when it was black and white.
Speaker 1:You should know that. I did not know that when it was black and white Before, there was a color change. Yeah, wow, yeah, as good as it gets. Isn't that the one where I think cuba?
Speaker 2:gooding jr. It comes and and and he's wears him out about keeping the dog jack just like losing help please.
Speaker 1:He hollers for the police and he goes help me donut munching morons, I mean that's as good as it gets. I mean literally until they start the trip to baltimore, and then I'm mean literally Until they start the trip to Baltimore and then I'm out, right, I mean, when they start the trip to Baltimore, I'm out.
Speaker 3:You know, one of my favorite movies with him in it is the Bucket List.
Speaker 2:That movie- is I don't know that.
Speaker 3:I've seen it. It is absolutely fantastic.
Speaker 2:I go to him as the Joker in Batman.
Speaker 1:The original. I mean think about all the roles we're talking about and, oh my gosh, vicky Vale, vicky you're like you ever dance with the devil in the pale moonlight.
Speaker 3:I was asked that of all my prey.
Speaker 2:I have given a name to my pain, and it is Batman that's a good role.
Speaker 1:I picked a good one. That's a good one.
Speaker 2:I know I'm going to shock your senses. It's going to be something I've never heard of. You have Marlon Brando. You have not only heard of this guy, you watched him in a movie with me an outdoor movie. I know who he just said it, Humphrey Bogart.

Speaker 1:He's got no idea.
Speaker 2:Treasure of the Sierra Madre. I don't know if they I know they did a colorized version, if it wasn't originally in color, but anyway, that's all right now, so you're voting for him. Yeah, that's my guy. That's my guy. He's voting for him.
Speaker 3:Yeah, I'm oh yeah, vote, vote for him hey, you know what you can vote for me so you're not an actor, though, so we can't vote for you if that's one for me so if that, that's one now we got to do, we got to do a Mount Rushmore. So you got three more to add to yours, chris. Sure, go ahead. Clint Eastwood yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, he's, he's, he's a guy in there, I mean generational actor, I mean multiple generational, and I'm a hundred percent in agreement he's one of mine.

Speaker 3:Yeah, or he's lefty two guns, yep, all good. Um, you know what they say about a made man in his money roll but it's.
Speaker 2:It's kind of interesting when you look at the the see the thing that works against pacino and deniro, in my opinion, is they started just getting the paychecks because their connection no no, it's they would do a bad movie because of the paycheck they have.
Speaker 1:They've had so now you're getting on somebody because they're getting paid.
Speaker 2:Yeah, they're getting paid, you know, but they had some stinker movies.
Speaker 3:But you know, one movie I liked that came out as a stinker that I really liked with Pacino was the Recruit, where they went to the CIA farm and they did.
Speaker 1:I never watched it. It's very good, very good. What's the football movie he was in? Any Given Sunday oh yeah, the Sharks, I kind of forgot that Willie Bean, did you ever see?

You know Butch Cassidy's Sundance Kid, cool Hand, luke the Hustler, the Color of Money, the Verdict, which was a great lawyer one. So yeah, Paul Newman, to me Was it 50 Bold Eggs.
Speaker 1:What about Kevin Costner? That's another one that's come to my mind.
