'GQ' NAMES 'BEST ACTORS OF GENERATION'

2005 Oscar nominees Leonardo DiCaprio, Don Cheadle, Clive Owen, and Johnny Depp are part of GQ magazine's first-ever list of the "Top Ten Greatest Actors Of Our Generation." The actors are featured in the magazine's March issue, along with Oscar winners Russell Crowe, Nicolas Cage, and Benicio Del Toro, and fellow thespians Jim Carrey, John C. Reilly, and Gael Garcia Bernal. Each actor has a full-page spread inside of the magazine as well as profiles and an explanation of why they made the list. The issue is on newsstands now, with Russell Crowe gracing the cover.

GQ on Johnny Depp: "Johnny does what Johnny wants to do. Want to move to France and start a family? Sure! Want to play Willy Wonka? Yeah! Want to make a Pirates sequel? Why not? In Johnny's hands, it all makes sense."

GQ on Benicio Del Toro: "He has mastered the art of the early death in Snatch, The Pledge, and of course, The Usual Suspects, and he's never pimped himself out to the romantic comedy." "I play wackos," he says.

GQ on Jim Carrey: "Carrey will go down as our greatest clown, of both the exuberant and sad varieties; in The Truman Show, and particularly in Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind, he's comically, heartbreakingly unaware of the malign puppeteers pulling his strings. Yet Carrey's ambitions lie beyond clowndom, and even the deep drama he's clearly capable of. As he says, 'I will never be satisfied until I burst into a ball of flames on-camera and the director yells, 'He got it!'"
