Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) Welcome one and all to TGP's uber actor tournament and nomination thread! Much in the same vein as Vin's tournament and what I expect to be ATL's tournament.... It's time to unleash the beast with the single greatest and most expansive tournament the internet has EVER SEEN!Okay... that might be a bit of an exaggeration, but... we have to start somewhere. I hope to do other tournaments after this one... including one for movies, maybe video games, sports stuff. We will see how this goes, though. Ha.As far as nominations go, I encourage you to nominate.. You should nominate any actor or actress you think should have a shot at the throne... Keep the nomination list within reason, but add as much as you think you need. It's a delicate balancing act. Actors AND Actresses will be included in the same tournament.. In the name of fairness and to give the losers of crazy upsets a chance to redeem themselves... This will be a DOUBLE ELIMINATION tournament. After losing the first matchup, actors and actresses will move down to the losers bracket in hopes to dethrone the champion of the winners bracket!You may begin..... NOW!

southgadawg 52 Posted July 3, 2014 I may end up adding some later but right now here are a couple that I think will tend to get overlooked but were good actors (although like almost all they had some duds too but their overall filmography is impressive). Bela Lugosi Christopher Lee I see some of my other favorites mentioned in other lists so I won't take the time to duplicate them. I do see a few good actresses missing though: (unless I overlooked them) Judi Dench Rita Hayworth Cate Blanchett Natalie Portman This tourney might be very interesting!

SteVo+ 3,702 Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) There are so many...I could probably list 100 names, so I'll try to trim my list to the cream of the crop. Though I'll likely edit this list many, many times.

oochymp 2,393 Posted July 3, 2014 I'm not great with actors and I trust ya'll will come up with most of the big names, so I'm just going to throw one in that I think deserves a part of the conversation but may be a bit underrated, at least I didn't see him on anyone's list yet Jeff Daniels Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BwareDWare94 723 Posted July 3, 2014 Can we get a little love for Ralph Fiennes, please? My list will include some obvious choices and some odd names I find extremely capable and underrated. Ralph Fiennes Brendan Gleeson Alan Rickman Jennifer Lawrence Maggie Smith Christopher Lee Ian McKellen Zachary Quinto Jason Segel Tommy Lee Jones Marlon Brando John Wayne Mariska Hargitay (nominated for the tits, honestly) Michael Weatherly (easily the best actor in NCIS' cast) Morgan Freeman DDL Josh Brolin Jeff Bridges Ellen Page Rainn Wilson (I recently saw Super. What a well-rounded performance) Jim Caviezel That's all I got off the top of my head. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted July 3, 2014 It honestly looks we are going to have an upset before the tourney even starts... DDL cruising to that #1 seed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BradyFan81 404 Posted July 6, 2014 Michael C Hall could be in this for Dexter alone. It's just one show but anyone that's watched it will know.. Michael C Hall was beyond epic in that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Favre4Ever+ 4,476 Posted July 6, 2014 I concur that he was epic in Dexter, but can that one title feasibly carry him all the way? I don't think so. We can throw him in, but don't be too surprised when he gets beat really early. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted July 6, 2014 (edited) Christain Bale should be on all your lists. http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/package/article/0,,20768373_20773517,00.html The guy has played pretty much every character you can think of and has hit it out of the park. Look at the physical transformations he undergo's for his roles. Unreal. Also, I'd like to add Bryan Cranston to my list.
