I've never considered an actor greater than another based on the quality of his films. It's wholly unfair to the actor. Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis aren't greater because they're in better movies (incidentally, they're greater actors because they're better actors).
Ray Liotta hasn't starred in an interesting movie in YEARS - a fact completely independent of his acting talent.
Greatness in acting is not determined by resume.
Greatness in acting is determined by the quality of the work.
And the quality of his work is great.
I wouldn't be thrilled to sit through all of his films (if I never watch CHARLIE ST. CLOUD ever again...) - who the fuck would? - but look at what he's done for as long as he's done it, and yeah, he's a great actor.
