For me, there are only three actors that matter- Paul Newman, Bob Bell, and Dan Roebuck.


Not necessarily in that order.   

[Paul L]

Lon Chaney, Sr.                        
Bela Lugosi                                  
Boris Karloff
Vincent Price
Al Pacino
Gene Hackman
Peter Cushing
Burgess Meredith
Steve McQueen
Dustin Hoffman

Louise Fletcher
Claudette Colbert
Elsa Lanchester
Joan Crawford
Grayson Hall
Lara Parker
Beverly Garland
Nichelle Nichols
Yvonne Craig
Lee Meriwether

Horror actors?  Lugosi is King...Karloff close behind. Lugosi adds a glee to his characters that floors me.

[tv horror]

My pick would be Alec Guinness for in a pinch he could still play the females as well. In my opinion he was the Worlds greatest actor far above Olivier and the greatest comedy actor was Alistair Sim. However as these are English/Scottish actors, Lionel Barrymore has the top honours for the U.S.
