Elvis? Bruce Lee? Jackie Chan? Don Knotts? What the fuck kind of "best actor of all time tournament" is this anyway. You might as well throw in Kevin Nash and Britney Spears while you're at it.

why does claude rains need to go?

Honestly, he doesn't stick out to me as a great actor. Of course, I've only seen one of his movies (Mr. Smith Goes to Washington), but I had to make my choices regardless.

 

Some people, like John Cazale, shouldn't even be on this list in the first place. No offense to Cazale, but where are people like Dustin Hoffman & Robert Duvall? And WTF is Elvis doing on this list?

[godthedog 0]

rains holds his own admirably in 'casablanca' and gives probably the best performance in the movie.

 

he owns 'notorious' over cary grant and ingrid bergman in every way possible, and comes from having the weakest-written character in the film to commanding the screen whenever he's on and generally being one of the the coolest bad ass motherfuckers ever.

A lot of guys advanced to the top 64 from the first round of nominations. This was some sort of a run-off to determine the rest of the field.

I never knew so many people didn't like Patrick Stewart

[WrestlingDeacon 0]

You obviously do not understand the genius of Don Knotts. He's the greatest comedic actor to have ever lived. His timing, line delivery, physical takes, and work ethic is second to none in his field.

[Guest ShamRock]

Tie-breaker round is over. I will tally the votes and post the next round later tonight.
