Excellent in the late 60's and early 70's, made a lot of classics: then mysteriously disappeared from the radar in the late 70's/ early 80's for a long, long time before reappearing about 5 or 6 years ago. It seems like he lost some of his acting chops in the interim, and since the late 70's, he has been merely okay at best.

What a great actor. Unforgettable roles over the years. Now if you could just give your daughter a few pointers.

Jon Voight is a wonderful actor. However, it boggles me that, as President X-D said, he chooses to play in supportive roles only. When's the last time Jon Voight starred as the lead in a movie? Maybe he's content with being in second place, but I think that if he was given a chance to star in a leading role, he would be much higher up on this list. My favorite of his recent roles was his portrayal of Franklin Roosevelt in "Pearl Harbor". He fared much better than any of the other actors who have tried to portray FDR (notably John Lithgow). He beat out Gene Hackman for that role, and I personally think that Voight was the perfect choice to play President Roosevelt. His performance in "Ali" was also impressive. I also loved his performance as Coach Bud Kilmer- talk about phenominal acting. I had never seen Voight so intense with his acting. He also delivered in "Enemy of the State", "Anaconda" and "Mission Impossible". In the final analysis, Voight is a great actor who needs to work his way into a leading role before it is too late.

A talented actor who takes a whole lot of secondary roles. My favorite from Voight is Runaway Train; he was mesmerizing.

One of the best!!!

Generally underrated . . . was great in MIDNIGHT COWBOY, DELIVERANCE, RUNAWAY TRAIN, etc., but has been mediocre in some other movies.
