My favorite actor ever, against my favorite living actor, against one of my favorite female actresses :cry:

But of course I had to go with my boy Dean :wub:

Oldman... I love him

Oldman. For Sid and Nancy alone.

Depp

Gary Oldman

sk

Gary Oldman is probably my favorite actor.

He's the definition of a chameleon actor, and he's portrayed some of my favorite on screen villains.

Why I wanna see The Book of Eli: I've heard that Oldman plays a villain in it. That's all the reason I need to see it, really.

His villain in TBoE is a bit campier in comparison to his other roles; think Zorg from fifth Element but slightly more unhinged :lol:

Marlon Brando

Brando

why not? I adore him in both Edward Scissorhands and The Ninth Gate, while I don't think I've ever seen an equally enjoyable and satistying performance from the others in this bracket.
ETA: As far as Brando and Dean are concerned, I am very mistrustful of myth-creating actors, while I admit that this may very well be a prejudice.

No love for Dean :cry:

sorry sweetheart, I do love him, only not as much as Depp... I tried to explain in the ETA part of the previous post.

I may share the prejudice, but doesn't that apply only to myth-creating actors whose work one has not yet had the opportunity to judge for oneself?

Well I guess I can forgive you since it's for Depp, who just happens to be my other favorite actor :couple:

well, right, probably "prejudice" is not the correct word. I fail to find the correct one unless it is "a thing".

James Dean seems to be lacking a few votes :(

I want to know who the other kind soul is that voted for him...

The current result pleases me :D

wish I could say the same

*Bump

This poll is closing tomorrow !

This group is closing today !

Depp fans? Please please? We only need three more votes...

I probably should have tossed my vote to him knowing Dean wouldn't make it out of the bracket, but I just couldn't vote against him. Now my two favorite actors wont be moving on :(

I had a tough time choosing between Johnny Depp and Gary Oldman. Ultimately I had to go with Johnny Depp for his roles in Edward Scissorhands and Blow.

I thought he was rather generic in Blow, anyone could have played that role ... but yes, he was exceptional in Edward Scissorhands.

at least one more Depp vote, please!

Gary Oldman advances !

I'm kind of suprised by the result. Not disappointed, just suprised.

I'm surprised that Brando got such a small amount of votes, but otherwise I more or less expected it to go this way. The best man advances :)

oh f***
