10 of The Most Iconic Actors from The 90s

Here are 10 of the most iconic actors from the 90s. Their status is because, in the ’90s, things were still allowed to be raw and uncensored, and these actors excelled in this era.

George Clooney

He hadn’t hit his peak yet, but Clooney was coming into his own in the 90s and was a lot of fun to watch. Later on, when he played Batman, he showed that he does have limits, but the rest of the time, he’s great.

Robin Williams

Robin was great before and during the 90s, but as he grew older, he only got better. From voice roles to live acting and standup routines, he became a legend.

Johnny Depp

Like many people, Depp was great when he was younger in 21 Jump Street, but like many people, age only made him better. Once he started taking on roles that helped to mature him a bit, Depp became a different type of icon that people followed without question.

Julia Roberts

Strong women were a big deal in the 1990s, and Roberts was one of those who remained classy but made it known that she was worth paying attention to. She hasn’t done much in recent years compared to the 1990s and the years following, but honestly, she still has a great reputation.

Angela Bassett

As far as strong women go, Angela Bassett has always been a force to reckon with onscreen. She’s taken on many roles that see her as a powerful individual in some way, and that hasn’t changed in recent times.

Brad Pitt

It doesn’t matter what type of character Pitt plays; he’s usually great in one way or another. In the 90s, he still had a lot of youthful energy, which came through quickly.

Sandra Bullock

From her role in Speed to other movies that helped to make her the star she is, Sandra made it clear to people that she knew what she was doing. So Speed 2 wasn’t that great, but it didn’t need to be; she was already established.

Anthony Hopkins

While he’s been acting for a while, the character of Hannibal Lecter put Hopkins on the cinematic map. Since then, he’s taken on several other roles that have been fun and engaging, but Lecter is still his best role.

Kate Winslet

Titanic did what many other movies have not done for Kate over the years. It put her in the spotlight in the best way and made her a huge star who would go on to several other exciting projects.

Tom Hanks

Since he was much younger, Tom Hanks has been extremely talented. Age has brought a bit of a change to his demeanor and his roles, but remembering him as he was is still fun.
