Best UK Actor.

[Cyrusbales]

I am genuinely horrified by this poll,

 

[Avalanche]

What about it horrifies you?

 

[Cyrusbales]

jack davenport??? Hugh Grant? no paddy considine, no JOHN HURT!!! Pierce brosnon and no guy pearce? just a really poorly thought out poll! Clearly bloodywolverine has a limited scope and really shouldn't have bothered.

 

[Carmine Falcone]

No Ray Winstone either...

OK, now you're childishly overreacting. I know he missed a couple of obvious choices but really, in my estimation you so condescendingly putting him down like that is much worse.

Oh and Guy Pearce is Australian.

Oh and Guy Pearce is Australian.

Who was born in England

[Ghostrider84]

Clive Owen
Brain Cox
Ian McKellan

Uh, so? He's Australian by his own admission. Watch the L.A Confidential special features.

he has british citizenship and ancestry, which fulfills the criteria for the bfi's standards

Thats like saying Simon Cowell is American just because he owns a house in LA

Boo-freakin'-hoo, go cry me a river. Yes, Cyrus, you can shoot that noggin of yours now. The end of the world is truly close at hand because someone didn't bother to check up on the birthplace of an actor who primarily refers to himself as an Australian.

i was referring more to the agreeing with his choices of actors....

Pearce calls himself an Australian. And since it is him we're talking about here, I believe the man's word counts, doesn't it? Besides, he's generally counted with Mel Gibson and Russell Crowe as one of the higher profile Australian actors out there. So it shouldn't come as a surprise if anyone doesn't list him as a British actor.

 

[Goddessreicho]

Patrick Stewart is Canadian.

Rickman, Bale, Cain and Sean Bean (who isn't on the list for some blasted reason) rule the world.

And I wasn't agreeing with his choice of actors either in my first reply to you. I was commenting on your repeated childish overreactions over his choices :

Who would make this poll without including John Hurt? Who is most likely the greatest living actor? Seriously??? How do you sleep at night?

because this is the worst poll I've ever seen.

Yeah yeah we get it, sport. BloodyWolverine needs to be castrated and burnt on a stake for this "travesty".

considering the various number of polls created like this by the afore mentioned poster, it would be nice if people took note! And yes, it is a travesty.

 

[black_dust]

Pierce Brosnan Is Irish, this polls got alot of people who aren't from the Uk haha

 

[Cinemaman]

It's no coincidence that Bale is leading.
Although very few really voted him in for the right reason, 90% of the reason for everyone else is because he was Bats.

Batman role gave him only popularity, not abilities of acting.

90%? Your colculation must be wrong. I guess only 40% voted for him, because of Batman.

As I said, his movies can be crappy pieces of s***, but this won't hurt his acting, because he is superb in his trade.

How can I prove this?

Just watch next movies:
Swing Kids
Royal Deceit
Reign of Fire
Metroland
Equilibrium
Velvet Goldmine
Shaft
Laurel Canyon
Captain Corelli's Mandolin
The New World

All these movies are mediocre at best, while Bale's performances look excellent.

I voted Bale Purely for he throws him self into a role fully and really does a character justice , i mean Machinist = pure skill. and Equilibrium he was great. One of our finest

 

[mister Lennon]

First, the poll sucks. Too many important absenses and some strange choices. I mean, Hug Grant and not John Hurt, Peter Cushing, Olivier or Alec Guiness? Not Monty Phyton? Not girls? A total joke.

Second, its always a pleasure to talk about my country and its wonderful and amazing actors, althougth the poll is really bad. British: best group of actors in the world.

From the poll: Between Caine and O'toole.

Why not female british actresses? I mean: Julie Christie, Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Helen Mirren, Vanessa Reedgrave, Wendy Hiller, Deborah Kerr, Judi Dench,Susanah York, and etc, etc, etc.

Why they arent in the list?: John Hurt, Charles Chaplin,Stan Laurel, Cary Grant, Anthony Hopkins, Ian Mackellen, Laurence Olivier, Richard Burton, Alec Guiness, John Gielgud, Bernard Fox, James Fox, John Cleese, Richard Harris, And a so long etc.

I repeat, the poll is a joke.

You've missed off his finest hour, where he just happened to star alongside john hurt.....

 

[Danger Mouse]

Alright, everyone. Either you vote or you don't. Make comments, if you please, but lets not get into personal insults.

 

[Cinemaman]

All the Little Animals?

You didn't get my post right. I made a list of the worst movies of Bale, where his acting was still on top.

So that's why I didn't put there this movie.
