Best and Worst Actors By Decade
I was watching an interview on You Tube today with Robert De Niro. This was from back in 1981. He was discussing the upcoming Oscars of which he was nominated for Best Actor for his performance in Raging Bull. He seemed quite awkward. However, as we know, he did win that year. It got me thinking - De Niro started in the 1970s and is still making movies today. Long career for sure. I started thinking about other actors that started in the 1970s and are still making movies today. Is anyone better than De Niro? One in particular I found to be a terrible actor. My next thought was could I go decade to decade and find a best and worst actor from each decade? The caveat being the actor must have started his movie career in the decade mentioned and he must have made movies in every subsequent decade up to today. This is what I came up with: 1960s Best: Jack Nicholson Worst: Burt Reynolds 1970s Best: Robert De Niro Worst: Harrison Ford 1980s Best: Daniel Day
