Where's Bogie?

I thought about him, I just didn't expect anyone would vote for him. I made sure Edward G Robinson was in though.

Why would you think that? Bogie is among the top 25 actors in history. Hell, some sites have him ranked in the top 10.

 

What does Edward G have to do with Bogie?

Same era, both known for being in gangster films and they starred together in Key Largo, Brother Orchid, Bullets or Ballots, Kid Galahad and Dr Clitterhouse.

Bogie is my fave of all time. Not sure why you wouldn’t think he would get votes.

I have about 20 names of actors who we threw away. And there are probably another 20 who could've been argued to make it on the list. But it was taking too long just getting the thread put up.

 

There's absolutely no list of 120 actors that would've pleased everyone. Someone always would've been missing.

Jackie Chan & Bruce Lee intentionally left out because they weren't "actor" enough, having done their own stunts and all :D

We recently got some comments from a trio of the biggest blockbuster film stars who didn't qualify for the duckBlaze GODS of the Cinema contest. This is what they had to say about not being invited:

These big names were informed that they weren't even remotely considered for the first round. These were their reactions...

"What percentage..." you ask? I'm not good with numbers. Ask vaportrailer, he knows about me and numbers.

 

 

Next to lies, mind control, mental bullying, and being extremely cagey about his musical abilities, JohnnyBlaze's numeric abilities are 2nd to none.

I mean 5th to none.

He is a 10th level digitologist, and a top-grade numerican. His wizardry needs no mention, being so brilliantly wizardic.

Some say he is a descendant of Pro Rata, the Universal Accountant and possessor of the Cosmic Calculator.

He froze to death while whatshername hogged the raft, what more do you want from the guy?

 

 

(I have never seen Titanic. Just the very ending. That's unlikely to change anytime soon.)

Jeeze, that's a long post. Perhaps I gave it too much thought. I like movies, so sue me.

Presence & charisma vs. acting is kind of how I looked at as well. Variety in performances over time is a hallmark of the latter, I think. John Wayne, Costner are the former.

DiCaprio is a big miss for me and Pitt and Cruise should definitely be an option.

We had a big debate about those actors and a couple of others when we were discussing options and we decided we'd leave them out. There are a couple of names on the list that I don't agree with like William Hurt, Javier Bardem to name a couple. Those were JB's choices though I didn't even mention them in the pre-thread discussions.

He can't be that important if it took you this long to realise. ;)
