Your favorite actor?
My choice is Al Pacino, hands down. No one can compares with him when it comes to gangster characters.
He is a genious actor who played amazingly Tony Montana in Scarface and Michael Corleone in Godfather. While many actors play routine characters with the same facial expression during all their careers, Al Pacino managed to create two absolutely different characters. Tony Montana was a hot-tempered, hasty, fierce, savage and tough guy as opposed to Michael Corleone being an even-tempered, cool, prudent and intelligent. Tony Montana and Michael Corleone are the best and most impressive mobster characters being played in cinema history.

Of all time? A tie between Brando and Paul Newman.
Living? Robert Duvall.

The best gangsters are DeNiro and Jose Pesci.
I must say Joe Pesci amuses me even more.
I also enjoyed Jack Nicholson in the Departed - "because in this country, it does not add inches to you ****, it adds to your life sentence" 
Al was okay, but not the best.
I don't really have a favourite actor. I like directors who create the characters in the actor.
