DiCaprio no question. Washington isn't as versatile and bores me, he is appreciated though. Behind Daniel Day-Lewis, DiCaprio is top 3.

DiCaprio.. I feel like his roles are usually more diverse, involved and intricate. I'm not going with the denzel being the same character in every movie argument, but Leonardo DiCaprio is something else..

Since Denzel is so great then I'm sure an actor with his resume could get any role thats outside of his comfort zone if he wanted to

Thats not true. How many times have Al Pacino or Robert Dinero been cast in the same type of role. As great as they are they have been largely pigeonholed holed as similar characters throughout their careers. Jack Nicholas too. Leo gets alot of diverse parts because he never really had to carry a film on his back. His greatest movies, imo, he had a great cast around him to play off of.
Also given the age at which Leo started acting, more diverse roles are available for him, just because that's the way Hollywood works. I don't think Denzel should be slighted for not playing out of his "safe zone", because how many actors his age and stature get roles that are obscure? Phillip Seymore Hoffman, and Daniel Day Lewis are the ones who come to mind, and they aren't house hold names.
I feel untill Leo can deliver a performan that rivals Denzel in Training Day, Malcolm X, Glory, or Philadelphia this conversation is premature.

Leo acting by far....
Leo can play a character like DW did in Taining day, but i doubt we can see DW pull off a shutter island

Denzel may have had the best performances (to date) of the two, but as a whole Leo is more consistent.
I will say Leo rarely puts out a non-great movie, while Denzel lately shoes up for a big payday with another big co-star and mails it in.
It's really apples to oranges.
The two of them should do a movie together. That would be tight.

Denzel does play the same roles. He is great at them. But they are the same.

Obviously he doesn't play the same role, but to me he doesn't change anything about him. It's just him in another movie.

Denzel easy...
I don`t get how people say he plays the same role either. Even if that was the case, every good/great actor (with Depp as probably the only real exception) plays the same role to a certain extent.

They're different characters but he's basically playing the same role. We're talking about versatility, which meaning something outside of his box. Kinda like Book of Eli
