    Nicholson gets one decent role down, then spends the rest of his career being a parody of himself. Yes, that includes "The Shining".

    I think Nicholson has done a pretty wide variety of characters. Ford is clearly Han Solo or Indiana Jones both of which are pretty similar characters.

    Not a big fan of either and Jack Nicholson looks insane

    so i went with Ford. Star Wars and Indiana Jones are iconic, should probably have a statue built somewhere if there already isnt

    What are we basing this on? Capabilities or draw?

    The Rock should be on here if the latter.

    Best overall actor. It's an opinion question so there's not really a boundary of factors it's based on, just what you define as being a better actor.

    I have not seen Ford do much that impressed me outside the Star Wars and Indiana Jones movies -- and he was basically playing the same character in both series.

    He was good, but nothing special, in The Devil's Own.

    Nicholson though, I first became a fan of in that Batman movie where he stole the show playing the Joker. He has so much good stuff.
