In Hollywood, there are actors who can afford to choose roles and usually don`t make mistakes. Films with their participation are not failures, appeal to viewers, and often receive many awards.

1. Daniel Day-Lewis
Daniel Day-Lewis is one of the most selective in Hollywood. Over 50 years, he has appeared in only two dozen films, and he became the only actor to win the Oscar for Best Actor three times. His special approach and preparation for roles allow him to live out others` lives on screen.

2. Tilda Swinton
Despite appearing on screens quite often, Tilda Swinton`s list has practically no bad works. Moreover, the films are diverse: comedies and horror films, independent cinema and blockbusters.

3. Kate Winslet
The star status gained early in her career allowed Kate Winslet to choose roles that weren`t always beneficial for her. Right after `Titanic`, she refused to participate in the tragedy `Shakespeare in Love`, which had huge success.

Despite a series of successful roles early in his career and gaining the status of Hollywood`s main heartthrob, it must be admitted that Brad Pitt is a master of his craft.
