Tier ranking: Male actors


*the ranking doesn’t reflect solely artistic excellence and talent. It’s also favorably biased towards leading man over supporting actors, protagonists over antagonists. The ranking is also skewed towards actors who tend to play characters I‘d like to be.

What were the roles that earnt them in the phenomenal tier? Cause I don't see how 4 of them could out perform Alan Rickman or Gary Oldman.

As for Rickman and Oldman. They‘re not typical leading men, they tend to play shady characters, and they’re both prone to over-acting, an air of eccentricity and quirky performances.
Still, two brilliant, gifted, talented and versatile actors.
But they can’t really carry a movie all by themselves.

This could make a good party game, although I wonder if arguments might make for spoiling the atmosphere. 😄

@FreddieUK If people can’t argue about different tastes, then what’s the world come to? 😂
