Who's Your Favorite Actor?

[Starscream]

I'm not asking who's the most talented or who's won the most awards, just who you like the best of all time (any era). I don't have a number one, but I do have a top twenty.

1. Buster Keaton (great silent film comedian)

2. Bela Lugosi (got shafted too often in his career b/c he always wanted to make a dollar)

3. Boris Karloff (I like Lugosi better, but Karloff had much better roles)

4. Harrison Ford (Mostly b/c of Han Solo, but I haven't seen him do a bad job in any film)

5. Christopher Lee (The MAN! Hammer films was his forte, but he's been in numerous films. He holds the record for living actor in the most films)

6. Johnny Depp (awesome in any role!)

7. Lon Chaney Sr. (the man of 1,000 faces)

8-9. Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy (the original comedy duo)

10-13. Moe Howard, Larry Fine, Shemp Howard, and Curly Howard (the four stooges!)

14. Clooney (he plays the same person in every role, but he can be badass when he wants to!)

15. Leonardo DiCaprio (I used to hate this little punk, but as I've become older I have come to appreciate him in Romeo and Juliet, Titanic, Basketball Diaries, The Aviator, and many more)

16. Lon Chaney Jr. (a horror classic actor)

17. Liam Neeson (great actor and will be remembered for many different roles)

18. Joseph Fiennes (Shakespeare in Love and Elizabeth did it for me)

19. James Cagney (big mobster films in the 30s and 40s, but he also could play Shakespearean roles)

20. Lucille Ball (I probably should have put her as number one b/c of I Love Lucy, but her films weren't the best)

Once again, these are not picked b/c they are the most talented actors of their time nor have they won the most awards, but simply b/c I love the work they do and the characters they portrayed.

Ive always thought Sam Jackson was very underrated, one of my favorites. I think Tom Hanks is good. I can't think off the top of my head right now.
