Brilliant list of actors!! Great work Jeff!!

AdamMoody said...

Interesting choices dude. I would die trying to make one of these lists.

Jeff SC said...

Thanks you two! Adam, you wouldn't DIE from it, but you would definitely lose a little sleep over it :P

Sara C said...

Excellent list so far Jeffery! I have yet to see a few of these in some films. My list of films to watch is so extensive. I applaud you for managing to rank your top 100 as well, I think I would struggle ranking up to 10...obviously we know who number one is.

Chris Skoufis said...

Very, very happy to see Jim Carrey & Christopher Walken here! Extremely good list of actors so far Jeff!

Jeff SC said...

@Sara Thanks, it's definitely not going to be a perfect list and there are plenty of great actors that won't make it on here (my only criteria is they have to have been in at least 5 movies that I've seen) but I decided it's time to make a go of it anyway.

@Chris Thanks, it was hard placing them that low, but I had to make some sacrifices, haha

Jeff SC said...

And yeah, I think I have a pretty good idea of who'd be your #1, Sara :P

Aditya Gokhale said...

Very nice dude!
Great work..and looking forward to more..
But Sutherland is better than Damon or Carey IMHO! :D

Jeff SC said...

Haha, like I said, the exact order isn't what matters as much to me. There's no way even I could be completely satisfied with the order, you know? Thanks for giving it a look, Aditya! ;D

Nick Lyons said...

Great picks! I love all of these actors... except for John Gielgud. Only because I haven't heard of him until now (I'm not gonna lie). Nice feature.

Jeff SC said...

Thanks... Seriously? Never heard of him? The Butler in Arthur, dude.

OMFGITSROHIT said...

Wtf Sean Penn so low?

OMFGITSROHIT said...

Viggo Mortensen isn't on your list. You must've forgotten.
