Jim Carrey

Great actor! He's hilarious, but he also can do great drama! Watch his work in films like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Man on the Moon. The man has some great range! Should have an Oscar by now!

So Sad. He would've gone on to do so many great things. His portrayal of the joker was remarkable! NO ONE could top this. RIP Heath Ledger :(

should be no.1 in my opinion. The did an excellent job in The Dark Knight!! R.I.P Heath

Added 10 years ago by guest, 1 point

So Sad. When you look at his role in the remake of the Four Feathers or watch him beside Matt in the Brother's Grimm; you know at once that here is a man who knows his craft. He leaves a great legacy behind him and for us, a void. Top 50.

Added 11 years ago by guest, 1 point

A great actor who is very type cast and given less credit for the great range he demonstrates in his typical roles. While the characters are similar, he shows great range in films like Rain Man, A Few Good Men, The Last Samurai, The Firm, etc. His role in Collateral was awesome too! Not to mention Ethan Hunt!

Steve McQueen

Undeniably The King of Cool! With a movie like "The Magnificent Seven", only McQueen could steal a scene without delivering any lines! One of the true great screen icons of the 60s & 70s. He should be ranked in the Top Ten alltime Box Office draws!

Rudolph valentino

because he was known as the great lover, so much mistery in the man, he was suave and sophisticated, highly spiritual, a man who was highly intelegent, no other holywood male has ever had the intense and beauty and warmth in his eyes like Ruddy did. He had one of the biggest funerals...

One of the most celebrated actor of south Indian film industry with very huge fan following. The opening for his movies cannot be compared with any of the actors in India. His movies are considered as a festival celebrations. Performed mind blowing roles in the movies like, Amarkalam, Vaali, Villain, Billa, Varalaru, Kireedom and the list goes on and on... He is the diamond in the crown of South Indian film Industry...
