[Jean]

Peter O'Toole. My nominee.

I wish I could vote for Sellers, too.

I also wish Stuntman was on O'Toole's notable film list, but I am afraid nobody has seen it, as is often the case with bears' favorite movies

[fernandito]

Peter O'Toole. His performance in Lawrence of Arabia is nothing short of magisterial.

[iowabob]

Had to vote for Sellers, my nominee.

[Jean]

so far, so good. I so hope the two Peters will win this round.

[Stockerlone]

This is easy.
The two Peter´s are great actors,.... BUT Sir Laurence Olivier is of course the BEST of ALL !!!

Indeed. Also yes, Peter O'Toole is awesome. If they meet in the next round, I think it's undeniable that he'd blow away Michael Caine.

[Mattrick]

Not sure if I will vote for this one...limited exposure to all of them except Juliette Lewis who doesn't even deserve to be in the top 500.

[BROWNINGS CHILDE]

My sentiments exactly, Mattrick. Juliette Lewis is a perfect example of how bad acting doesnt necessarily ruin a film. I loved NBK as well as Whats Eating Gilbert Grape, but thought Lewis's performance was less than stellar in both. If she is cast for the right part (the beaten/subdued, ignorant white trash girl) she can fill it well (NBK or Kalifornia) but in anything else she just seems out of place (From Dusk Till Dawn).

And I also have very limited exposure to the others. Kinda before my time.

[Seymour_Glass]

O'Toole. The Ruling Class.

[Jean]

O'Toole. The Ruling Class.

yes, YES!! and like Stuntman, it's not even on the list.

[Darkthoughts]

I liked Lewis in Dusk 'Til Dawn, Gilbert Grape yeah, not so much but then again DiCaprio is the only good thing about that film full stop.

I voted O'Toole anyway

[Jean]

you did the right thing

[Still Servant]

I don't know what it is about Juliette Lewis, but I've just always found her sexy. I've had a thing for her since I was a kid. Don't know what it is. My whole family thinks I'm crazy.

That being said, she doesn't belong in this tourney.

[Darkthoughts]

I nominated her because she is so unusual, I think she has a very distinct screen presence. That being said I've gone with O'Toole here.

On reflection there are a lot of really, really great actors and actresses we've left out, but your brain stumps you like that when you're on a time limit.

[Jean]

except French and Italians, who wouldn't have a chance here, I nominated everyone I wanted to.

[Darkthoughts]

There are loads of foreign actor/esses I wanted to nominate too, but didn't seem worth it for the same reasons you desisted.

[frik]

No contest - Sir Laurence Olivier.

sk

[Jean]

we need more O'Toole votes...

[John Blaze]

O'Toole. Lewis is WAY out of her league in here.

[Jean]

now good

time to close the poll?

[pixiedark76]

I voted for Rock Hudson.

[Jean]

more O'Toole's votes, anyone? just to be on the safe side

[John Blaze]

No one voted for Lewis? LOL, i figured at least whomever nominated her would vote for her.

[Still Servant]

It's an honor just to be nominated I'm sure.
