User Comments
-
Sean Connery-
No way, great but number #1?
-
-
Paul Newman -
Without a doubt, John Wayne - the last true American hero.-
Paul Newman top 5, yes.
-
Don't know if "Duke" can make top 25
-
I live right next to John Wayne's old ranch!
Deer Creek Center- This majestic 850 acre property is situated at the gateway to the Illinois River Canyon. At one time a ranch and former playground of John Wayne, the property is now used to facilitate research teams, conferences and retreats, and is the year round home of the Siskiyou Field Institute. -
I used to like John Wayne until I saw a film where he was an "heroic" investigator for the McCarthy hearings tracking down "Communist agents" in Hawaii. That kind of killed the heroic Image for me.

-
Lawrence Olivier and Marlon Brando come to mind.-
Love Brando, especially in Guys & Dolls.
-
-
Jack. Who else could play the Joker like he did? -
James Cagney/Marlon Brando/Spencer Tracy/George C. Scott/ Dustin Hoffman-
You may have something with that list.
-
-
Sean Penn-
He's Sean Hannity's fave too
-
that could be the only thing the two of us have in common
-
I was being facetious. Hannity recently began boycotting Penn's movies. IDK why exactly
-
-
Johnny Depp-
Johnny'd be my vote, too.
In older films, I loved Gregory Peck and Jimmy Stewart, though. -
he's the man.
i like cary grant as well. -
oooh...good choices!
-
-
Ron "the hedgehog" Jeremy-
Hey cook! Though porn was off your radar.
-
it is...I was just making a funny...sounds like you are the porn watcher!
-
why "the hedgehog" ?
-
because he is short, fat, and hairy
-
Oh, I thought it was because he knew one Big thing.
-
could be...
-
"the headgehog" body looked like vomit, but we'll waive our normal body scale and consider his entry.
-
I will never understand the appeal of Ron Jeremy.
-
I actually interviewed Ron Jeremy.

I've never understood the appeal of males in pornography
-
@Agit8r:
I know straight men don't like to admit to being able to tell if someone looks good or not, but straight women can and do, and I wonder if homosexuality is basically just the basic sixth sense of judging one's own attractiveness run wild. We'll call it the Narcissus Hypothesis. -
You gotta have men in porno, it's so you can sit there and think "Jesus Christ! If she would sleep with him she would be all over me! I'm miles hotter than that guy!"
-
That's hilarrious AIN, but I think she'll fall for the confederate flag speedo for sure, and then I can raise my jolly rogers!
-
-
John Wayne. What a character! (Though he might be more star then actor.)
-
Jack lemmon
Toshiro Mifune
Daniel Auteil
Takeshi Kitano
Robert De niro
Ian Mckellen
Kirk Douglas
P S Hoffman
Kevin Spacey
Alec Guinness
And a thousand others I can't quite recall at the moment. -
James Stewart -
Brando -
Steve McQueen
2nd
Bobby DeNiro in his hey day -
Nobody mentioned Humphrey Bogart but currently my favorite male actor is Barack Obama...-
oooooh ouch
-
-
Johnny Depp
Morgan Freeman
Jim Carrey
Robin Williams
Al Pacino
Vincent Price
Cary Grant
Bob Hope
Dick Van Dyke
Those are my faves - of all time.-
Robin Williams? Jim Carrey? Dude, what's up with that?
-
Mr Mom... "GOOOOOOOD MORNING VIETNAM" - Jumani... And soooo many more! He's very versatile, funny and touching at the same time.
And well. Ace Ventura, The Mask, Bruce Almighty, The Majestic, Cable Guy, Truman Show - almost ALL of his shows, besides the obvious Dumb and Dumber and Ventura/Mask have been extremely thought provoking, hard character studies - and usually a social commentary. -
I loved all those movies I just never considered them as leading men in Hollywood. I may have reconsider. Good Looking.
-
-
Al Pacino, I just love Al Pacino.
And Sean Connery...
-
Anthony Hopkins
and
Robert Downey Jr -
Willem Dafoe and Christopher Walken
-
Indeed, Robin Williams in Good Morning Vietnam. Must have seen it 10 times already.
And Anthony Hopkins in Silence of the Lambs -
Johnny Depp.
Robert Redford was the man too. -
Did anybody mention Steven Seagal? And I mean the fat aging version that does martial arts in slow motion. He’s the MAN!-
He put a smörgåsbord "Under Siege." Gravy train left a while back for him, literally.
-
-
Robert Downey Jr. forever ....................... -
I'd have to call a tie.
Johnny Depp- Fabulous and strange in everything he's done. Infamous for Fear and Loathing. It takes talent to pull of the lunacy of HST, and he's about to do it again with Rum Diary.
Brad Pitt- I'm not terribly attracted to him, nor am I fond of him as a person, but between Fight Club and Se7en, you gotta give that boy credit. Flawless.
And Paul Newman- Because there isn't a single actor out there who couldn't use a lesson from this guy. -
Jimmy Stewart and Danny Kaye have been long-time favorites. I love Christopher Walken, but it's more because he always plays the same guy (either in a funny way or a scary way) than because he's a good actor. Brad Pitt, despite being fairly seedy, does some fantastic things (witness Snatch). Every time I see a Robert Downey, Jr. film I'm pleasantly surprised by how good he really is. -
Billy Connolly LOL-
Billy who?
-
-
Clint Eastwood.-
Clint top 15 All-Time
-
-
michael caine -
Cary Grant
-
Jim Carrey
Arnie -
-
Please don't hijack post, what's your favorite actor?
-
-
Will Smith and Anthony Hopkins-
Miss Suzie, Will Smith? Come, on, deal breaker.
-
You asked me who I thought was the best male actor -- I happen to be very fond of Will Smith. Sorry.
-
I like Will a lot and you know I respect your selection, but I need to see him pull off something "Denzelish." Hmm, what you think?
-
I like the fact that Will Smith doesn't feel the need to pull off anything other than what he does. He was brilliant in Seven Pounds (as well as many other movies he has done).

-
James Cagney -
Jeff Bridges, Robert De Nero, Mark Ruffalo... -
Kirk Douglas
Yul Brynner
Michael Caine
Burt Lancaster
Richard Burton
Charlie Chaplin
Clark Gable ... -
John Garfield
