if you go by career then it has to be nicholson. great roles and awards. Although Dinero is my favorite actor.

when i was on my way to work this morning there was a picture of Hoffman and De Niro in the paper together and it just got me thinking about 4 of the longest tenured actors out there. I agree Hackman could be in there as well, but i blanked on him. we can have him as a write-in canidate..

My personal favorite is Nicholson. I can't look at Hoffman and think anything besides "tootsie". Pacino is great but I think Deniro has had the best career. JMO
