5. Nicholas Cage
4. Vincent Price
3. Frank Sinatra (doobie doobie don't.)
2. Bing Crosby (buh buh buh bad)
1. Omitting Marlon Brando. He IS a contender, Charley.
On the bright side, a big revelation for me is Lon Chaney Sr. I’ve never seen one of his movies, but look at this clip. I gotta give it up to him. This is an incredibly affecting video to me—it taps something pretty primal.
On the video between 2:19-2:25 how DeNiro-esque he looks (maybe his Max Cady character in Cape Fear). Amazing.

Nice call on Lon Chaney. Very moving video too. I saw him in Phantom of the Opera last year at Halloween inside PU's grand chapel. Very spooky setting and a helluva performance.
Now I must disagree with Vincent. True, he was in a lot of loser movies later in life, but his earlier works varied from "man about town" to "villian". And what about that great performance in Edward Scissor Hands?
i guess i don't know his work well enough to make an informed decision.
which doesn't make my decision any less correct. information is far overrated.
all i remember from edward scissorhands is depp's performance. that and how tim burton somehow turned one of the most beautiful women on the planet into something quite ordinary. which proves, i guess, that blonde is not always better.
which i've known for a while.
okay, i've said too much.
Also, Vincent had a great mustache and a beautifully creepy voice.
