Votey votey time!

Time to vote for your top actors. I thought it would be nice to offer a few different options for voting so we're going to vote for our ten top MALE LIVING actors, five top FEMALE LIVING actors and five top DEAD actors.

I'm going with fewer females because in previous lists there have been far more votes for men but then only some people included women and some didn't so splitting should be interesting.

If you can't fill a ten or five then just include as many as you can. Usual list style your number 1 will get 10 points down to number 10 getting 1 point. These points will be multiplied by the number of voters so three voters giving an actor 4pts, 5pts, 2pts will mean the actor gets 11x3 = 33pts.

Use "top" to mean whatever you want it to mean but it's YOUR list, not a list you think it should be and not what you think others want you to say.

If you've got any favourite clips of an actor please link to a youtube video in their name.

I totally understand why you did this, but I still think it would be interesting to see people fill in ten actresses.

You all knew I was going to make this post, didn't you. :shifty:

If you didn't, then I would. I'm listing 10 actresses. Just count the first 5, if you wish.

This is definitely a mix of "The Best at What They Do" and "I Would Personally Love to Work With/Watch Them." I may have to edit later, as this was toooouuuugh to figure out.

I like how some of these Best Actress lists read like "Aw, dammit, I'll never get to have sex with these five women. :( " And by "like", I mean "Ugh. You guys."
