Will Smith @ 15
Jim Carrey @ 30

Neither would make my top 100 assuming I could think of another 98.

John Malkovich

I actually think Will's pretty good. His early films didn't really offer much scope but Pursuit of Happyness and 7 Pounds were both pretty good. Haven't seen I am Legend.

Agreed that Carrey is hardly a credible choice although again he might be good if he'd try He was good in Cable Guy, the only serious performance I've seen from him.

Any votes for Viggo Mortensen?

[Doggy Styles]

Spacey was great in "The Life of David Gale" too.

"21" was quite entertaining although not an acting master class from him.

Defo second "The Usual Suspects"

Spacey wasn't particularly brilliant in Usual Suspects, there wasn't much scope for him to be. He was just good, with a reasonably good limp. The story is what made that a great film.

Any votes for Viggo Mortensen?

I'm still deliberating but I've never heard of him. Is he the one who played Bill in "Bill And Benidorm"?

Alan Rickman

I was just about to mention Alan Rickman. He's done a surprising amount of stuff.

Along with Gene Hackman, Walter Matthau and Eli Wallach. I've enjoyed most of the films they were in.
