I think Tom Hiddleston wasn't on it because he hasn't played one iconic hero role. I know he's been in a lot of things, but a lot know him as the villain Loki, and his smaller role in other things or characters that aren't clearly hero or villain. All of these actors I love, and yes a lot of the best British actors have been in Harry Potter, because of course they'd all want to be part of something so amazing, and they only wanted British actors. I'm surprisingly so proud of all on this list! David Tennant
@kefinkamed 5 жыл бұрын
I love Benedict Cumberbatch to death but personally, I think David Tennant can walk the line a little better. Also, I would put Alan Rickman and Robert Carlyle higher on this list for one simple reason - all three (Tennant, Rickman, Carlyle) are true masters of showing both ends of the spectrum within one character. No one could pull off Snape´s complexity like Alan Rickman, Robert Carlyle made me root for Rumpelstiltskin despite the horrid things he had done and as to David Tennant, he is my favourite Doctor but he could be genuinely scary at times.

There's a reason most of my favorite actors/actresses are from UK/Ireland. They are better chameleons than the US crop, in general, exempting people like Meryl Streep and Johnny Depp, who can play pretty much every body. Boy, Harry Potter had the cream of the Brit/Irish acting elite, what a wonderful education for the young actors and actresses that started in the series.
