  • Dude, you change my mind. I am confused, so...Dan....no...Phi..no...Jes­u....

  • "Huh?" hahaha

  • Daniel Day Lewis

  • psh all the way. i mean ddl had the best performance of these two in 'there will be blood' but psh had brilliant performances in so many like synecdoche,all pta films, capote, before the devil knows you are dead etc.

  • How about we get PSH and DDL in the same film??

  • Phil Parma.

  • only the black lady admitted she didnt know either

  • Daniel day lewis won an oscar on his first leading role ever. He plays in like one movie every 3 years and wins some type of an award. He has like 73 award trophy's in his house. His proformances leave you wandering if it was a movie or real life. And your trying to match him with Hoffman? Good Luck. DDL THE GREATEST!!!!

  • Seymour-Hoffman!

  • Both actors are grand. It's a matter of taste. Personally, Daniel Day Lewis gets under my skin. Emotionally, he takes me to the peaks.

  • Pretty weak of this guy to choose those two particular black women as a representative of all black people like he did.

  • Philiel Daymour Hoffis

  • I'm Black and Daniel & Phillip are two of my favorite actors.

    Both actors make movies about "white people". So, its not suprising that someone who isnt white wouldnt know who they are, The movies they are in simply dont appeal to Black America. Its really not a big deal. There are tons of great black actors that whites are not familiar with.

  • hoffman

  • Leave it to the black lady to not know who neither one of them is.

  • Daniel syemour  Hoffman or Phillip day Lewis ? ... lol

  • HAHA blac peope are so dense

  • lol @ DDL all the way!

  • daniel > all

  • lol, all the niggas are dumbass

  • @billscorpse lol, so are you

  • sex or alcohol

  • noone can touch Daniel Day-Lewis.

  • Loved the girl whos like huh? Hilarious.

  • black people only watch tyler perry i guess

  • @FTWization You are such an idiot.

  • @BlueChild86 Morgan Freeman or Tyler Perry? They would say Tyler Perry because these 2 black people have proven they don't know shit about film. I saw logic, you saw racism. Stop bitching.

  • @FTWization And I'd say Ewan McGregor, bitch. Where did you learn to do math? Two people do not mean that everone who has dark skin is unfamiliar with two actors. Might I point out that both Philip and DDL are not very popular because they don't do every interview that gets thrown at them. So, you're "logic" is simply stupidiy. Reply back and show everyone what an idot you are once again.

  • @BlewChild69 Where did you learn to read? McGregor wasn't an option and I said "these 2 black people" would not know Morgan Freeman because he is of the same caliber as the other two. You think society knows the names of actors because of interviews? They are popular because of their work, interviews are just promotion. Usually just their name is promotion. You could call them a brand but these 2 black people essentially said they don't know what Pepsi is. Tyler Perry is purple juice.

  • @FTWization You need to throw away whatever it is you're smoking. It's past its prime.

  • DDL chews up the screen, in a league of his own.

  • Only white ppl kno wuts up

  • @StevenZB1 You're an idiot, too.

  • @BlueChild86 If you black GTFO. If you not GTFO.

  • @StevenZB1 Try typing out full words. If you cannot do that then it is time to get out of your computer chair and into the real world where racism gets you a slap across the face.

  • @BlueChild86 Nothnks and by writing response to me I have won. I am the troll who has been fed. Let this be your lesson.

  • @StevenZB1 Hahaha. How old are you? 5? How could your parents have screwed up so badly with you? Do you not have parents? Were you raised by wolves?

  • @BlueChild86 Yes to all of the above except not 5. I'm 6 years old and my parents did screw with me by trying to give me morals. So I killed and raped their corpses.

  • @StevenZB1 You saying you're six is an insult to all six year olds.

  • daniel!!!!!!!

  • Philip Seymour Hoffman is a hell of an actor, no doubt. But he's simply not to compare with Daniel Day-Lewis. For me Daniel is one of the most talented and most dedicated actors ever. His performances in There will be blood and especially My left foot have to be ranked among the very best performances of all time. So the choice is Daniel Day-Lewis though I like Philip a lot, too.

  • DDL: 11

    PSH: 8

  • Daniel Day-Lewis is brilliant, especially in There Will Be Blood and In the Name of the Father.

    I watched lots of movies with Phillip Seymour Hoffman and he still manages it to create new characters and play them such convincing that he gives me the feeling that I have never seen him in more than one movie. That's real acting!

  • These two actors are great, but Denise Richards is probably the best actor of the last twenty years. The best since Brando and Olivier.

  • From what I've seen out of both, they are both brilliant actors. I've seen "Gangs of New York" (Did anybody else really want DDL to kill DiCaprio?), "Happiness" and I'm about the watch "Capote". I need to see more before I can give my analysis.

  • @KrfNYC2 Yes, but then I always want diCraprio to be killed. In real life, though, not on stage. He does that himself.

  • @ukulazy Maybe.

  • @ukulazy Lets not get carried away. Dicaprio is a great actor most of the time.

  • @kthevsd It's not so much his acting talent, it's his general demeanour that irritates me, and he reminds me of someone I don't like.=) Perfectly rational criticism! *Ahem*

  • @ukulazy But that's a sad thing. When people let their opinions of actors as people affect how they feel about their acting, happens all the time, some kind of bizarre bias.

  • Daniel D Lewis, Philiph S Hoffman, John C reailly, WIlliam H Macy!

  • John C. Reilly. Hands-down.

    But for real, Daniel Day-Lewis.

  • daniel day-lewis!!

  • Daniel Day-Lewis ftw, But Phillip Seymour Hoffman is amazing.

  • seymour hoffman is a great actor, but daniel day lewis is probably the greatest actor of the past twenty years. please watch his performances in there will be blood, gangs of new york, my left foot and in the name of the father.

  • Black people are still not smart enough to be free

  • I would not be able to answer that.

  • Who the hell compares these two? That's just fucking stupid.

  • Phillip Seymour-Hoffman. But Daniel Day-Lewis is nothing short of brilliant so this is f sick but Hoffman it is.

  • daniel day-lewis

  • lol black ppl dont know actors

  • By comparing you immediately downgrade one and their talents to heap praise on the other. A ridiculous process.

  • Well of course it's ridiculous, it's the Youtube comments.

  • This is a joke. Daniel Day Lewis has more talent in his little finger than PSH has in his tub of goo body. PSH is the most overrated actor in film & is currently receiving terrible reviews for Othello. People are walking out; it's that awful.

  • DDL all the way!!

  • Daniel Day-Lewis, without a nanosecond of doubt.

  • The black woman at 0:55 has the funniest look on her face when she says 'huh?' watch it again closely

  • Imagine seeing them both in the same film? How awesome would that be?

  • DANIEL DAY-LEWIS

  • Damn, that's a toughy.

  • Philip Seymour Hoffman

  • if you wanna talk about range then how about going from innocent irish raggamuffin accussed of terroism, sadistic butcher/gang leader, man with cerebral palsy, white mohican, and then finally an oil megalomaniac. Dont get me wrong, Phillip Seymour Hoffman is one of my favourite actors, but Daniel Day-Lewis is one of a kind. p.s. find an actor more humble than DDL and ill retract this comment.

  • u guys are fuckin dumb. you take a man, philip seymour hoffman, who can go from being the center of attention in Along Came Polly as a secondary character (comedy), to a homosexual writer in Capote (drama), to the villain that u wanna destroy in Mission Impossible (action), and you get the most incredible talent in all of the thespian world. Props to Daniel Day Lewis, he is pretty remarkable, but phlip seymour hoffman's range of ability is uncomparable

  • hold on here, u can't just say he's a better actor cause of his range. the intensity of Daniel Day-Lewis is extraordinary and ur gonna be hard pressed to find a more passionate and well-prepared actor. hardly anyone else puts so much effort into their roles and his name is almost synonomous with method acting these days.

  • You dont play genres. You play characters.

    Look at DDL's range. From My Left Foot to There Will Be Blood! Better performances too than the ones you mentioned.

  • Haha, give me a fucking break. Daniel has shown far more range than Hoffman in a far smaller resume. There really is no comparison, Day-Lewis is it.

  • the black people didnt know who they were. ahhhh....racism.

  • Am I the only person who thinks Daniel Day Lewis is in the top three actors of all time?

    Seymour is an excellent actor...but not a Day Lewis.

    He might only have one two Oscars but he should of won for Gangs and for ITNOTF, and with what crictics are already saying about Nine...he might of bagged his third

  • Daniel Day Lewis has two oscars.

    I can't choose. They are both great.

  • haha negroes dont know good film.... just tyler perry.

  • oh god it's racist, but it's true.

  • Philip Seymour Hoffman definitely. His performance in Capote was brilliant.

  • You didn't find his Capote performance one note? I was bored out of my skull.

  • Do you have any idea how hard it would be to re-imagine Truman Capote without even ever meeting him? Hoffman was fantastic in Capote. You can't even argue that. It's not his fault that the screenplay was boring

  • I disagree. It was noted in many papers that if Toby Jones' Capote performance hit theatres before PSH's performance, Toby would've gotten the nomination instead.

    I also disagree w/ you on getting Capote down w/out meeting him. All one has to do is watch the countless t.v. appearances Capote did to get the voice, etc. It's easier to create a character from actual footage than creating a character from scratch. Trust.

  • So you're saying that Toby Jones' performance was better merely because "it was noted in many papers"? Form your own opinion bitch.

    And the Truman Capote that was being portrayed in "Infamous" was created to show the more flamboyant side of Capote, while the Truman Capote that was being portrayed in "Capote" was created to show how inwardly tortured he was while writing "In Cold Blood".

    Oh, and Toby Jones had voice lessons, while Hoffman did not.

  • It is my own opinion, fucknut. I'm also stating it's the general consensus w/ film critics...& it's not the reason Toby Jones gave the better performance. Way to miss the point.

    BTW, I'm a dude, jackass. Someone disagrees w/ you & you start the barroom name calling? Veddy telling!lol

    PSH did have voice lessons for this role. Look it up.

  • Why does the fact that you're a dude have anything to do with it? What the hell

    And all I'm saying is, PSH is better and nobody gives a fuck about Toby Jones.

  • You referred to me as "bitch"...read your post.

    Everyone is entitled to his/her own opinion; it's just yours happens to be wrong.

  • DDL!!!!!

  • DDL all the way baby.

  • BOTH they are both freaks of nature, they have unique presence and style and both are HUGLY influential actors of our generation. unfair question. like asking if left is better than right, they are both equally great directions to travel, either way the you go the destination is beautiful!

  • I think daniel is in a league of his own. On top of his incredible acting skills he has an on screen presence that can be quite over whelming, especially in some of the scenes from there will be blood and Gangs.

  • Can't agree more with you.

  • Respect both myself, but I'd honeslty say i've been moved many times by Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I first noticed him for his acting ability, further past Scent of a Women, but that of Patch Adams. For a relativley small role, he was quite powerful, thats impressive to me.

  • you can't compare actors together. each has their own unique way of acting. it's not a competition. .

  • two great actors that can both carry a film. But as much as i like PSH, DDL is truly a cut above all the rest. That being said, both are in my top 5 and would go to see any film they are in.

  • DDL all the way, I don't think there has been a more dedicated actor in all of history. Yes people are going to say Brando and my favourite De Niro, but this man is in a class of his own, dispite the fact that he was a Shakespearean trained actor at the Old Vic, in found a way to transcent through method and classical acting. PSH is also great by the way.

  • Bale, best actor, needs only the right role to show his full talent!!!!

    Lewis - Hoffman ? both perferct

  • ahahahahahahahahahaha

  • You just can't compare actors fairly based on Oscar wins. In this condition DDL would have to be a better actor than Peter O'Toole, and he isn't. THey are both good in their own way.

  • I'd say Hoffman for the simple reason that he is fat, and fat people don't get good chances in Hollywood.

  • LOL

  • both actors are great hoffman can hide more , but DDL is awesome in his transformations.

  • Hmmm... I love them both, but I'd have to say I'm more apt to see something if Daniel Day Lewis is in it.

  • owning mahoney case closed man

  • Phillip Seymour Hoffman is better.

  • lay off the crack

  • what the fuck dood? if u think Lewis is better then thats wat u thinks i think hoffman is better. thats it man. jeez.

  • uhhh what? ease up on the rock.

  • wat do u meen?

  • DDL!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Btw, I'd have to go with Daniel Day Lewis due to his performance in There Will Be Blood.

    "I am the third revelation!!!"

    That's right up there with Anthony Hopkins' performance in Titus.

  • That was very cute.

    No place like New York.

  • PSH!!!!!!!!!!

  • Aww that lady at the end was sweet.

  • Phillip is a very good actor but Daniel is a great actor

  • i wish i could meet this guy's boss. i would bite his tongue out of his mouth and spit it into a sewer.

  • i love how none of the black people knew who these people were! LOL

  • You're off: it's a class thing. That was a poor minority area and now has white hipsters. Poor white nonhipster areas wouldn't know who they are either.

  • nah, blacks in general really don't know much outside their own race. kinda sad, kinda funny.

  • I know plenty of African Americans who know both those actors.

  • and i know plenty more who don't! lol

    not a big deal really. most midwestern whites would have no idea who akon or lil wayne are.

  • u are a douche bag man, im from the midwest and both of those no talent ass clowns (akon and weezy) are famous no matter where u go in the US or the UK...i doubt you leave your basment enough to know any body so you shouldnt just say black people dont know who they are, im from st charles mo. alot of people love both of those actors, my black fiends loved gangs of new york and knew who ddl was, they just didnt know who hoffman was

  • wow, that was like a tornado of stupid.

  • im guessing you say that because its the truth...fuck you cock mongrel

  • no, i'm saying it because you're a semi literate, mid western hick who actually proved my point for me.

    now you can go back to your shit shoveling life, gomer.

  • first of all i am a law student, probably more educated than you will ever be, secondly being iliterate on fucking youtube was not a single part of your point u ignorant, studpid piece of shit, it is youtube not an essay...downing blacks and people from the mid west, what the fuck is your problem? you probably dont know any body from the midwest or any black people and you just assume that shit, go crawl back in your basment and think about getting pussy for the first time, i bet you cant wait..

  • And which law school do you attend? The University of 8th Tier Knuckle-Draggers?

    And with all due respect, counselor, people who can't spell "stupid" really have no business calling others it.

    Let's exercise better judgment.

  • well i was kind of shit faced at the time, try playing beer pong and getting laid for once, its a better life style than being prejudice twards two groups of people u know nothing about, your probably just a fat fucking virgin with bad hygene like most white people from the city. so i guess as long as u know that u are a stupid fucking piece of shit then my drunken spelling will have to do. oh yea washington university of law in stl, not to big of a deal, but probably better than you cock sucker

  • Wow, so you and your law school bros played a little beer pong and then gang-banged the shit out of each other? Great job! Really, I'm certain you're a BIG credit to your impressive law school!! lol

    By the way, are you still drunk, counselor? Because you continue to butcher written English with a seemingly unconscious abandon. I hope you're not studying the kind of law that relies on all of that "writing" stuff. wait, can you even read?

    if so, read this: you fail at life.

  • listen up cock master, i know you are just pissed because u dont have a life, and i fail at mine because apperently i get a fucking english lesson everytime i get on here? hell no...why dont u just crawl out of your moms basement and stop being such a fucking douchebag, go out and have a good time, i seriously doubt u have ever seen a vagina that wasnt on the internet, so man u need to fix that instead of thinking of boring ways to talk shit, go fuck yourself since nobody else probably will

  • Just so you know, I don't even attempt to read your moronic ramblings anymore because I know the content will just frustrate me. You are evidence of our flawed education system particularly in those incestuous hillbilly towns of the midwest. may god have mercy on your poor retarded soul.

  • my rambilings are some advice your ignorant ass should consider, like go fuck yourself...oh yea obviously in your your great inner city education, you obviously were not taught geography, hillbillies are from the appalatian mountains not the midwest you moronic fucking asshole.

  • Once again, I didn't read it, but I'm certain the content was fraught with Midwestern hillbilly slang and countless grammatical missteps.

    I hope as an attorney hope you choose to represent the mentally retarded. You might find it easier to communicate and perhaps even learn from them.

  • once again, go fuck yourself, or find something sharp to fall on, just kill yourself and end mine and your family's misery

  • Man, you're a fag wasting your time on here. You say he has no life but you're still replying even when you said you wouldn't. Turn off your computer.

  • wait. did you post this thinking i wouldn't demean you? who asked you what you think? i'm certain that i didn't and i assure you that i don't.

    lol its funny that you call me "time wasting fag" yet still find the time to comment about me. i guess that means your life is TOTALLY meaningless! lol

  • Hear, hear.

  • haha i know that was so funny!

  • In fairness both of them are great actors but not stars, few people know them. I am black and I do. but thats cuz i watch alot of movies. I know alot of other black people who know these guys, its really about who you ask, not what race.

  • Is that Charlyne Yi at 0:48?

  • They are both Irish.

  • DDL is superior, My Left Foot, Gangs of New York, and There Will Be Blood. Plus Phillip Seymour Hoffman looks up to DDL so that should tell you who's the better actor.

  • Phillip Seymour Hoffman has taken much more challenging roles. Could DDL have done Capote? I think not.

  • Capote was not a role for DDL but Plainview wouldn't of been a role for PSH, they have both pushed boundries with challenging roles and neither could have portayed eachothers otherwise they'd have been cast in those parts.

  • wtf Day Lewis has taken on way more challenging roles. Have you not seen My Left Foot?

  • Trick question. The incomparable Daniel Day-Lewis has no rivals.

  • PHILIP SEYMOUR HANDS DOWN, love that man, my favorite, and it figures that the black woman would be the one to not kno them, hahahah,not bein racist or n e thing just sayin

  • Hoffman, all the way. Love watching them both, they're two amazing actors; but my vote goes to Hoffman.

  • I love the girls who say DDL! DDL All the way!

  • The people who answered Philip Seymour Hoffman are confused.

  • Yo when an actor does a movie with De Niro and outshines him then credit is due.

  • im black and reognize both actors are fuckin great...daniel day lewis owns hoffman though!

  • they´re both absolutely fantastic

  • Daniel Day-Lewis is the better.

    My Left Foot, Last of the Mohicans

    enough said.

  • Danny boy!!...I fell in love after "In the name of the Father"...

  • every black person he asked was clueless... god damn that's funny. you need to ask them about soul plane or who's yo caddy. lol

    anyways... daniel day lewis is the better actor

  • Ya know, i'm black, and sadly your damn right on your point, a lotta black folks know dick about good cinema. A coworker asked me if i had Code Name: The Cleaner in my library; i hung my head in shame. Anyways, DDL ruled in There Will Be Blood and i loved PSH in Before the Devil Knows You're Dead. as well as all their library. But im gonna have to go with DDL.

  • i'm lookin back at my comment and it seemed racist which i wasn't going for. if you were offended my bad... and i agree with what you said

  • HAHAHAHAHAH.

    That was my thought....as bad as I feel about that. lol.

  • really both great actors but i'm irish so i will say daniel day-lewis

  • They are both great.

  • daniel day lewis is much much better.

  • I admire them both as well, but I love PSH. something about him is so sweet for some odd reason. ddl is a god and rocks, but he also sort of scares me. psh is like a really talented teddy bear. LOL.

  • DDL might be a bit better, but I love Phil with a burning passion, so I'll go with PSH.

  • daniel day-lewis is actually one of hoffman's acting role models, both are very good though

  • Day Lewis!

  • Heard of a little movie called Capote?

  • DDL FTW

  • We black folks need to get it together on our A-list ACTORS! Goddamn! We can remember Ice Cube and Mo'nique, but not DDL PSH?

  • DDL ALL THE WAY!!!

  • i knew those black people whouldnt know who they were! so called it

  • like them two honeys said "DDL all the way"
