Great Acting
Post examples of great actors and greatest performances or scenes.
In my opinion great acting is being able to play any character, at the same time making the audience understand or relate somehow to the character. To me a great example of a great actor and without a a doubt my favorite is Edward G. Robinson. The man could play any kind of character, from a ruthless gangster, to a mild-mannered accountant, from a powerful father figure to a man on the verge of insanity.
Probably my favorite EGR film is House of Strangers:

Another one of his great performances was in Two Seconds:

And an excellent example of comedic talent:

I'm quite impressed with this one. It's the difference between stage acting, and street performing, he has to convince the people, up close, and personal. Only in this one, If he fails, he's going to die.

Wouldn't call Sacha Baron Cohen a good actor, just good at bullshitting people.

I thought there was a good chance you were right, so I looked it up at websters.
Main Entry: 1act·ing
Pronunciation: \ˈak-tiŋ\
Function: noun
Date: 1598
: the art or practice of representing a character on a stage or before cameras
Nope, Sacha is a actor, and good enough, to fool people on the street. His performances are some what unique, but in stand-up comedy, his style would be referred to as "spritzing", off the cuff alibiing with the audience, a very difficult skill.

I don't think the other guy was acting, I think he's legitimately scared.

It wouldn't take much. That would scare just about everyone.
