This question was posed at FireflyFans.net the following is my answer.
To me "the best" is the actor who is Oscar caliber. Someone who can do both comedy and drama. Someone who can transform himself into someone new.
I love Alexis Denisof. He was marvelous in Much Ado About Nothing. Wesley's character arc remains my favorite in all the Whedonverse.
Reed Diamond is enchanting and delightful as the Prince Don Pedro in Much Ado About Nothing and in Franklin and Bash there is no Prince in Damien.
Amy Acker is great as Fred, Illyria, In Dollhouse and as Beatrice in Much Ado About Nothing.
Jewel Staite is wonderful as Kaylee in Firefly and then as Heidi in Wonderfalls, two very different girls.
Sean Maher as Simon in Firefly then as a Girls Gone Wild Producer in CSI: Miami was a complete transformation.
I've been a long time fan of Clark Gregg he is always a joy to watch.
My vote for the Best Actor in the Whedonverse goes to Alan Tudyk hands down.
On CSI he played a pedophile in Burn Out.
On Dollhouse he played Alpha.
On Firefly the happy go lucky Wash.
On Suburgatory the Yuppy Dentist Noah. Then we have so many movies with so many characters.
Tucker the Hillbilly - Tucker and Dale vs Evil (HILARIOUSLY FUNNY).
Steve the Pirate - Dodgeball.
Sonny the Robot - I, Robot.
Gerhardt the Gay German drug addict stripper - 28 Days. He remains my favorite character
Wat - A Knight's Tale.
Simon - Death at a Funeral.
Ben Chapman the Racist Coach - 42.
Alan Tudyk transforms himself each time in each new character.
Joss' actors all have that special something that makes them special.
Then next actor in the Whedonverse to come close to Alan's talent in my opinion is Fran Kranz.
Topher the tech- Dollhouse.
Marty the druggy - Cabin in the Woods. Claudio the young soldier - Much Ado About Nothing.
Alan Tudyk and Fran Kranz are both Oscar caliber in my opinion. They are both great talents.
