Of course, the list of great actors and actresses from New Jersey is incredibly impressive. Meryl Streep is considered among the best in a generation, and then there's Joe Pesci, Danny DeVito, John Travolta, Queen Latifah, Tom Cruise, Bruce Willis, Kirsten Dunst, Paul Rudd, and the list goes on and on.

In a recent article at All Vipp, a list was compiled of the best actors of all time, and one of New Jersey's own was very, very high on it.

Our own legend, Jack Nicholson, is considered to be the third-best actor in the history of film, according to this article, and that is a well-deserved honor.

The only two actors to place higher on the list are Al Pacino and Tom Hanks with Hanks being named the best ever. That's some pretty awesome company to keep.
