It can be anybody ... living or deceased ... from the silent era to yesterday's film.

My pick is George C. Scott ... followed very closely by Morgan Freeman. Each of these gentlemen could/can do anything, comedic or dramatic.

I guess I'm going to have to say Jack Nicholson although I've mostly seen him playing crazy people. 😁

I love both of your picks, too. The George C. Scott version of A Christmas Carol is my favorite Christmas movie of all.

Streep.

I know, I know, the backlash about her being labeled the GOAT is ever present, but for me the range presented in her filmography speaks for itself.
