The Top 10 Greatest Actors

The movie industry has been a turning point in the history of pop culture. Movies have been produced for decades upon decades and still never fail to entertain audiences across the world. However, without actors to bring the story to life, movies would be nothing. Here's a list of the top 10 actors who have been nothing short of outstanding in the past years.

Leonardo DiCaprio

Leo has earned a round of applause for his latest and greatest achievement: an Oscar for best actor for The Revenant. We all love him for his role in the Titanic, but Leo has won our hearts in many other films.

Benedict Cumberbatch


Benedict Cumberbatch has only recently worked his way up to fame thanks to his crazy popular television show, Sherlock, which he won an Emmy for. At last year's Oscars, he was nominated for best actor for his role in The Imitation Game. Cumberbatch is definitely in it for the long haul.

Robin Williams


Robin Williams has been nominated for several Oscars, and won best supporting actor for his movie, Good Will Hunting. Of course, we all know him for his voice acting in Aladdin as the quirky, witty, and lovable Genie. Rest in peace, Robin. You are greatly missed.

Tom Hanks


Tom Hanks has taken on a variety of roles, including everybody’s favorite, Forrest Gump. In his role for the movie Castaway, Tom lost weight in order to fit the description of an emaciated man stranded on a deserted island. Talk about dedication.

Liam Neeson


Liam Neeson is known for his very distinctive voice and his roles in the Taken franchise. Think twice before you mess with this actor.

Harrison Ford


Harrison Ford brought Han Solo to life and made him one of the most lovable movie characters of all time. In a galaxy far, far away, let's hope one of his movies is showing on the big screen.

Hugh Jackman


Hugh Jackman is one of the biggest action stars in Hollywood. However, all the explosions and martial arts aside, he is a very serious actor and often works in theatrical productions.

Dustin Hoffman


Dustin Hoffman has starred in movies such as, Hook and Rain Man. He has also been nominated for several Oscars and won two.

Johnny Depp


The man of many faces. From Captain Jack Sparrow to the Mad Hatter, Johnny Depp knows just how to bring characters to life and make it look easy.

Al Pacino


Does the name Michael Corleone mean anything to you?

Without these actors, movies would never be brought to life. So for that, we thank you for keeping us entertained throughout the years.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
