    Ha, maybe it was in the process of updating or someone voted on it and it moved positions.

  32. whitecollarfan15 December 2013 at 05:17

    Absolutely question. Just that sadly he's on a cable show that doesn't have a huge audience. But anyone who sees him realizes that he's a cut above the rest.

  33. whitecollarfan15 December 2013 at 05:21

    Matt Bomer from White Collar is unparallel. Close second is Robert Carlyle.

    Hmm there is Jay Ryan, Jay Bunyan and Ryan Jay - I think these are all the same person!!!

  35. Sal15 December 2013 at 06:34

    Jim Parsons, Damian Lewis, Peter Dinklage, Jeff Daniels, Robert Carlyle, Guillermo Diaz, Jack Gleeson, Jeff Perry, Johny Lee Miller, Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, James Spader, Eric Stonestreet, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau are a few of the most amazing actors for me..


    I also love Ian Somerhalder, Matt Bomer, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Daniel Gillies, Paul Wesley, Joseph Morgan, Nathan Fillion, Patrick Dempsey, Ty Burrell, Justin Chambers, Robin Williams, Simon Helberg, David Giuntoli, Chris Messina, Gabriel Mann though..really good actors!

    SPOILER TV No's 13, 44 & 90 are all the same actor - Jay Ryan, who plays Vincent Keller on Beauty and the Beast 2012. Please fix this up. It's very disadvantageous to this actor - it will split votes unnecessarily.

  46. Karin15 December 2013 at 09:35

    I notice you have him in as Jay Bunyan. It really needs to be Jay Ryan as that is his TV name on BATB and the name he is known by. He changed it years ago from Jay Bunyan.

  47. Alex Forrest15 December 2013 at 09:42

    As usual, this is a battle of the fandoms instead of just people voting for who they really like. How else can you explain nearly everyone having more downvotes, sometimes way more, than upvotes? I think it might be better to do these with only upvotes being possible.

    ReplyDelete
  48. Alex Forrest15 December 2013 at 09:48

    Daniel Gillies, Gabriel Mann and Michael Emerson are my favs on this list, but I also pitched in for Shane West, Mark Pellegrino, Robert Carlyle, Stephen Amell, Clarke Gregg, Henry Czerny and others. Downvoted the grossly overrated (in my opinion) Joseph Morgan, who deserves his own show about as much as Gossip Girl deserved a Best Drama Emmy award.

  49. swanpride15 December 2013 at 10:05

    Just the fact that he is in the top twenty despite being on a cable show proves his quality.

    The question is the best, so my votes are for James Spader, Evan Peters, Kevin Spacey, Timothy Olyphant, Steve Buscemi, Freddie Highmore, Josh Charles, Don Cheadle, Ty Burrell, William H. Macy, Michael Sheen, Jon Voight, Idris Elba and Hugh Dancy.

  80. jkingslp16 December 2013 at 02:31

    Jared, Jensen and Misha of course. Glad to see those guys on top, but surprised to see so many thumbs downs on them too. I realize the fandom is torn about storylines, etc., when it comes to Supernatural, but I've never really gotten a vibe that anyone thought their acting was subpar. Interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  81. swanpride16 December 2013 at 09:13

    Agreed...the best are definitely Matt Bomer, Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch, not necessarily in this order. Siman Baker deserves a nod, too, even though he always plays basically the same role. Everyone else (I know) is at best good, but not as versatile and impressive as those three.

    ReplyDelete

  92. Karin16 December 2013 at 23:44

    You did have Jay Ryan in the list though so a little confused as to why his name can't be changed. There are many fans who don't know his birth name is Jay Bunyan so this could have a detrimental impact on him. He is widely known and very popular as Jay Ryan.

  93. DarkUFO16 December 2013 at 23:46

    Those were manually entered and don't have a photo.

    If we use a manually entered one then we will need to delete the existing one and all the existing votes will be removed.

  94. Karin16 December 2013 at 23:48
