    It’s important to note that while many actors’ techniques are referred to as “method acting” or “The Method,” and they almost all descended from Konstantin Stanislavski’s approach, each technique has taken on a unique life of its own. They’re not all about pretending to be the character off-stage or screen.

Maybe you're judging him by todays standards (even though he still radiates off the screen even today) but back then the only other notable actor doing that was Marlon Brando and I doubt you would say he's overrated.

      You can think what you want about Adam Sandler. Love him or hate him. But he for sure does not belong in a "Top 20 Method Actor of All Time"-List.

    At least they got Number One right. Completely different mannerisms & voice in Godfather & Last Tango in Paris. Completely different mannerisms & voice in Julius Caesar & A Streetcar Named Desire. Even his flops like The Fugitive Kind & Reflection of a Goldeneye had unique voices and all around great acting.
    Hard to believe the same actor did On the Waterfront, Reflection of a Goldeneye, and The Godfather. Those were three completely different characters when compared together.

    I think Edward Norton, Jamie Foxx, and Tom Hardy could easily make this list. Maybe even Charlize Theron.
    Other than the one performance listed, I don't think Jim Carrey beats out any of those actors. I don't think Nic Cage deserves a spot on this list either.

    As an actor and a method actor, I think I have to place Sir Daniel Day Lewis at the top of the heap. The depths of transformation he undergoes for his portrayals is, to put it plainly, unmatched.
    There are indeed other very serious method actors on very high levels indeed, but DDL is simply different to them all.
    Marlon was possibly the one who really showcased it to the masses originally, but it is Sir Daniel who has perfected it.
    When I saw Flight with the mighty Denzel, I was adamant that he would and should get the oscar for his performance. It was an exhibition 101 on how to be in total control and understanding of his character and his environment. It was phenomenal.
    Then, a few weeks later, I saw Abraham Lincoln show us all what what it was like for him in his time and as they say........ The rest is history.
    Denzel Washington sits atop the pinnacle of the sceeen acting world, and it's no little thing to say that Daniel Day Lewis' turn as President Lincoln blew Denzel to pieces. Such is the almighty talent of that man.
