Haha I only see my votes, I don't see yours.

 

[Eisen]

Song Kang Ho has to come through. My favourite actor at the moment. But that's a tough group.

 

[Trap Jesus]

Only 3 votes in and down to just 2 unanimous votes, looks like this one could be a lot closer than yesterday.

 

[Mimsy]

I already regret not voting for either Burstyn or Von Sydow, but I'm sticking to my original vote.

This was a difficult round.

Surprised to see Cary Grant doing so badly. His filmography is about as strong as it gets:

North by Northwest
Charade
To Catch a Thief
Bringing Up Baby
Notorious
Suspicion
The Philadelphia Story
His Girl Friday
The Awful Truth
An Affair to Remember
The Bishop's Wife
Arsenic and Old Lace
Destination Tokyo
Holiday
Only Angels Have Wings
Topper
I Was a Male War Bride
Operation Petticoat

.....that's a lot of entertaining movies and I'm probably forgetting some.

Not saying he isn't a good actor, but sometimes being in great movies doesn't make you a great actor. Sometimes it just comes down to how bankable you are to the public.

Leo?

Leo?

Funny enough some of his best performances are his least known movies pre-titanic films. I would not put Leo in that category.
