Over the past 15 years,which actor/actress's body of work have you enjoyed watching?
I was wondering which actor or actress have you enjoyed watching on a consistent basis?
Is there an actor/actress that has emerged in recent years that you think has been brilliant?
Is there someone who was around prior to the turn of the millennium but has just either matured or remained excellent in recent times?
Is there an actor or actress that has mad a comeback and reestablished themselves?
For me I would have to say Philip Seymour Hoffman. I thought he was excellent in 'Capote', 'Magnolia', 'Almost Famous' and he stole the show in 'The Ides of March.'
Also, Gary Oldman was great in the 90's and I always thought he was talented. However, with Tinker, Tailor, Soldier,Spy I now acknowledge him as a great actor.

I'm adding Tom Cruise too - I never liked him until I saw him in War of the Worlds: just playing an ordinary working man caught up in extraordinary circumstances, completely believable - very good.
imo, he's the only A-list actor that still cares what films he makes and in most cases they appeal to me.
Philip Seymour Hoffman
Amy Adams
Cate Blanchett
Russell Crowe
Jennifer Lawrence
Ellen Page
Chloe Grace Moretz
Johnny Depp
Pegg/Wright/Frost
Leonardo DiCaprio
Michael Fassbender (last 6 years or so)
Apart from Sophie's choice and A cry in the dark, i have enjoyed her later roles from 2000 onwards much more than her early ones.
Michelle Williams
Amy Adams
Jessica Chastain (ignoring Zero dark thirty and Mama)
Carey Mulligan
Jennifer Lawerence (ignoring house at the end of the street)
Sally Hawkins (her mike leigh roles, made in dagenham and blue jasmine, as well as supporting roles in never let me go and Jane eyre were what me fall in love with this brilliant underrated british actress)
Nicole Kidman (had a blip of choosing terrible films which didn't allow her to do great performances between 2005-2009, but from Rabbit Hole onwards, she has soared continually)
Leo Dicaprio (ignoring J.Edgar)
Charlize Theron (ignoring Aeon Flux)
Leonardo Di Caprio really grew as an actor (I hated him in Titanic) and is now one of my favourite actors
Kevin Spacey is always great
I'd put in another vote for Leo. He was very good in Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Blood Diamond(on tonight in the UK on BBC btw), The Departed, Catch Me If You Can, J. Edgar Hoover, Shutter Island and Inception. All very strong roles - and I haven't seen Wolf of Wall Street yet.
Interesting you mention Kristen Stewart, I've always thought that she's a decent actress and undeserving of the flak she gets sometimes.
I also think Alan Rickman and Lena Headey are very good too.
Very undeserving. If people took the time to actually watch her indie films, they'd release she's talented. By far my favourite actress for the last decade.
He's didn't get big parts but a Hammer film never felt complete without him.
I watched Training Day not so long ago and he was incredible in that.
I thought he was excellent in Gangs of New York and Catch Me If You Can.
