The World's Greatest Actor on C4

[sublimeshawna]

I've lost faith in it. Kate Hepburn at No. 9? Bette Davis not even in the top 10?

They are possibly two of the greatest actresses cinema ever saw.

 

[Palmtree Panic]

Is most of the top ten male actors then that would explain the reason why Katherine Hepburn (no idea who kate is) was at no 9

 

[Random Persun]

Katharine Hepburn was known as Kate (Did you not make the connection)

Johnny Depp at No. 2? Ahead of DeNiro AND Pacino.

What kind of actors voted in this shambolic list!

 

[colinh90]

Maybe so but i have never heard her called kate

I was abit shocked at Johnny Depp being as high as no2

 

[markslove]

At least a true acting great is at number 1

 

[k.liley]

considering what characters he's played, it's pretty much a given he is so high up

 

[bigga/nigga]

Dustin Hoffman at 21, he should have been in the top 10

 

[Jredcorn77]

Johnny Depp is a good actor but no way should he be at number 2, he probably got put up there to appeal to younger film fans.

Where was Kevin Spacey?

Not even in the top 50 while the likes of Pitt made it in there? That's just crazy. Pitt is a good actor, very underrated because of his whole International-sex-symbol-stardom thing but how can people like that make the list when Spacey is omitted?

Also, Hanks only in the 40's?

Morgan Freeman, Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, Jack Lemmon, Gene Hackman - where were these people?

 

[LindseyxLovesxyahh]

Gene Hackman was definately in the list early on.

Fell asleep after Cary Grant was discussed.

Who was first and was Emma Thompson on the list?

 

[Rachel Smith]

Marlon Brando was first

and no Emma Thompson wasnt in the list

 

[Pati]

whats numbers were the following (if indeed they were in the list)

Robert Downey Jr
Tom Cruise
Joaquin Phoenix

???

 

[Eddy .]

I'm glad Kevin Spacey didnt make the list. Completely overrated but Brad Pitt? He couldn't act his way out of a bag.

Where was Ellen Burstyn?

[evy is bored!!]

Lots i dont agree with on there, but such is life

 

[rachel s]

Can't believe Kevin Spacey wasn't on the list, he's one of my favourite actors and morgan freeman should have been on there imo.

I really like Johnny Depp alot but to me there is no way he should be no.2. Im not sure he should even be in the top 10 tbh. He always plays really interesting characters I think but I think he kinda lacks passion at times but maybe thats just the films Ive seen him in or maybe is style is just kinda subdued.Anyway is is still ne of my favourites though.

 

[rachael1826]

I've bolded the ones I disagree with a lot, but that list is very different to what I would have said.

 

[.:M3lly:.]

No i did not mean it too say that he did not deserve to be No2 i was just surprised

 

[haley s]

Why is it that mainly men dominate the Top 10?

 

[Crazy Mother Trucker]

Bette Davis and Kate Hepburn should have been in the top five.

About three years ago Bogart and Hepburn topped the list over Brando etc. There certainly was no sign of Depp in the top ten
