My Favorite Character Actors Tournament
 

Yeah, most of them are my favorite character actors. It will start as soon as I finalise the remaining 38 slots. If I miss any of your faves, too bad. :p

Wait with eager anticipation. First match will be up shortly...

Waiting.......

Well I am on here for once, lets see if my posts work this time.... hmmm, if so I will hang around to vote in the first match up.

Tim Curry.............

Klaus is fab, but I have to vote for Tim Curry, just for Frank N Furter.

That's so unfair to pit Tim Curry against David Strathairn. *sigh*

Tim Curry

Steve Buscemi or Robert Deniro have to win this.....

Dunno if DeNiro would be considered a character actor... he's pretty much a leading man.

well he was a character actor originally I say.

I have to go for Tim Curry he was fantastic in Lexx also.

Ditto....:)

Nope, no DeNiro in this one, bud. He's done too much leading stuff to be considered in this.


5-0-0, Tim Curry sweeps away the opposition.

Round 1 Match 2




Jean Reno (Nikita, Mission: Impossible, The Da Vinci Code, etc.)

Jean Reno////////////////////////

Jean Reno I go for.

No question on this one: Jean Reno

Jean Reno.

Besides Steve Buscemi, I think Christopher Walken, Alan Rickman, John Malkovich & William Macy will be some long runners in this tourney.

I also like see Dennis Hooper, Ed Harris, Joaquin Phoenix, Harvey Keitel, Sam Rockwell & Cillian Murphy in coming matches.

Jean Reno....

Some you will, some you won't, Roshiq.


5-0-0, Jean Reno dispatches off the opposition clinically and "professional"-ly.

Round 1 Match 3




Gary Sinise (Forrest Gump, The Quick and the Dead, The Green Mile, etc.)

Michael Gough

Gary Sinise

Michael Gough/////////////

i would have voted

this one....hmmmm...sorry Angra

Michael Gough

Gary Sinese is an incredibly talented actor, but I too vote for Michael Gough. A really classy actor.

Names I hope to see in this tourney:
Harry Dean Stanton
Bill Hickey (that's William Hickey Jr. to you)
Rod Steiger
Joan Cusak
Charlie Chase
Martin Landau
Peter Lorre
Lilly Tomlin
Marie Dressler
Walter Brennan
Karl Malden
Anthony Quinn
Peter Ustinov
Joe Pesci
Shelly Winters
Ruth Gordon
Anjelica Huston
Dianne Wiest

No actresses in this, NE. Maybe a separate format for them.

Michael Gough leads 4-1-0 over the rest.

More votes needed...

Ditto!...:D

Angra won't forgive you for discarding Gary Sinise. Only Sistinas will be spared of his incredible Viking wrath! :mad:

:D


5-1-0, Michael Gough has an easy time with his opponents.

Round 1 Match 4

Welcome back, V!

Ted Levine, and I think "Rorschach" has given himself away.;)

Ted Levine

Hoping to see John Cazale and Paul Giamatti somewhere in the tourney.

I'll give it to Ted Levine just for his character in Silence of the Lambs




"Put the fucking lotion in the basket! "

Ted Levine -Silence of the Lambs

6-1-0, Ted Levine steamrolls through the opposition in double quick time.

I would have thrown Kenneth Mars a vote.
