Topics such as this make me wonder whom among those working in the movies today will be regarded as classic stars one hundred years hence. Certainly there are plenty of contemporary  actors and actresses who make us say, "Wow, did you see what Joe Shmoe did in that movie?", but the regrettable thing about that is we are still supremely aware that Joe Shmoe is playing a role. One contemporary actor who never falls into this category for me is Gary Oldman. He can completely disappear into a role, such that I sometimes don't even remember that it's HIM.
