Mine is Jason Lee, I find his roles as Brodie and Banky in Mallrats and Chasing Amy to be some of the funniest and most compelling preformances ever, and just the wide range of things he has done. Keep up the good work Jason.
Adam Sandler, for all of his classic films. Except for his more recent crap titles.

Kevin Spacey, Usual Suspects, Se7en, American Beauty, even The Ref.

Mine would probably be Nicholas Cage from his cool roles in Face/Off, The Rock, and Con Air.
But others would be Adam Sandler, Chris Farely, David Spade, Ben Stiller, and Luke and Owen Wilson.

Hard to nail it down to just one. I'd say it's between Tom Hanks, Tom Cruise, and Johnny Depp. What can I say, the first 2 are big names for a reason, and I couldn't call myself a Tim Burton fan without also being a big Johnny Depp fan. :)

Michael Moore. Besides his two great documentries, he also appears in Team America, the greatest movie, EVAAAAAAAAAAAA! His other movies suck, but these 3 make the choice overwhelming.

Nicolas Cage, Gone in 60 Seconds, Matchstick Men, and Con Air are great roles for him. I'm looking forward to National Treasure.

Christopher Walken, because he is just so awesome to watch. He plays villains so well, but he's also very funny and can sing and dance. A very talented man.

Jackie Chan because he is a human hi-light reel. I love martial arts and comedy films and he mixes those two better than anyone. I have more of his movies than any other actor. A lot of his movies in my collection are VHS instead of DVD (mainly because I have several of his older films).
Here's my collection on Guzzlefish...I have most of the VHS ones listed there but they never update so a few aren't on there...

Jackie Chan. You can't beat a super Chinese guy who can kick anyone's ass AND manage to be in a movie with a plot at the same time.

His older films are great. Bad translation + strange music + cheesy action = kickass movie.

Yeah!
Half a Loaf of Kung Fu is worth it just to hear him fighting and dancing to the Popeye theme, lol!

Maybe, but Jackie owns Jet Li at the box office! Remember, Superman died, Batman got his back broken and Mike Tyson got knocked out...anything could happen!:P
I like Jet Li too though. I have some of his movies as well. I really like The One and The Legend. But I'd take a Chan film (even his bad ones) over a Jet Li or Bruce Lee flim anytime.

well no one has mentioned him yet so Im going with Sean Penn. I think he has a lot of talent and is very believable in movies like Mystic River and Dead Man Walking and then is awesome in Fast Times at Ridgemont High.

Right off the bat I would say my favorites are Bruce Willis (total bad ass), Kevin Spacey (versaitle actor) and Johny Depp. I have others but these are the first that popped in my mind.

Johnny Depp for sure. Fear and Loathing is the best movie ever!

At least you acknowlege that his DOCUMENTARIES involve ACTING.
Personally, I like Keanu Reeves. Not so much for his acting ability but for the roles he ends up with. I like almost all of his movies.
