The World's Greatest Actor - C4

[DavidS]

I have to agree Ace. He is not one that immediately springs to mind.

[DavidS]

Helen Mirren is a far better actress than of the other British actresses listed.

[The Last Word]

Not altogether annoying as these things go, but no Paul Scofield, contender for the best stage actor of all?

Bafta getting dafta, methinks.

[Ace]

What do they go on anyway?
Most Oscars? Highest earnings? Total film output? Longevity? Box Office sucess?

[beutelwolf]

...and where is Harry Reems?

Anyway, no non-native English speakers in the list seem to suggest that the voters were considering a somewhat smaller world than what I associate with that word.

[steve56]

what about trevor eve;anthony bate,paul daneman,john nettles,john thaw.

[AganTadun]

I like James Dean. Followed by Brad Pitt.

[DavidS]

John Thaw maybe, but the rest you name are compotent actors but hardly amongst the greatest.

[DavidS]

You are, of course, correct about the lack of non English speaking actors, Curt Jurgens for example springs to mind. I take it you are joking about Harry Reems!

One could (and SHOULD) add Catherine Deneuve to the list!!!
