I agree!!! This list is too subjective, as the ranking of these many wonderful U.K. actors is certainly not how I would list them. Colin Firth is a favorite of mine , as he is great in all his roles. I was thrilled to see him win an Oscar. Alan Rickman may have started starring in movies later in life than most actors, yet his performance in ‘Die Hard’ was phenomenal! We lost out ‘big time’ when he died too soon,. Just think of how many more wonderful performances he could have done.

@johnjim6793 4 жыл бұрын
I remember the first time I saw Laurence Olivier in the boat house scene in "Rebecca". I was absolutely fascinated with what elegance and effortlessness he moved around the room giving a monologue of four or five minutes. That was not only a stage actor's training, it was genuine talent. - But it is also true that he was a stage actor who had a tendency towards over-acting, with big gestures and a declamatory style that might have been normal in a theater, but a bit strange in a movie where close-ups and modern sound technique make this kind of acting a bit strange. Take "Spartacus" for example. Olivier has strong scenes as Crassus, but certain moments are quite honestly simply awful and almost unwatchable (eg the scene where he talks to Glabrus before the latter leaves town for a slave hunt mission).

Which UK actor did you forget? Where does one start? I just don't get the point of a Top Ten list. It only serves to show up the gaps in people's knowledge and is highly subjective (the one positive aspect is that it at least starts conversations on the topic and perhaps leads some to investigate further). Consider the following list of truly great UK male actors NOT mentioned: Dirk Benedict, George Sanders, Terrance Stamp, John Hurt, Ian Holm, Richard Burton, Jeremy Irons, Gabriel Byrne, Michael Fassbender, John Gielgud, Ben Kingsley, Sean Connery, John Mills, Tim Roth, Bob Hoskins, Tom Hardy, David Niven, , Peter Cushing, Tom Wilkinson, Benedict Cumberbatch, Malcolm McDowell, Jonathan Pryce, Ralph Fiennes, Stephen Rea, Idris Elba, Brendan Gleeson, Martin Freeman, Colin Farrell, Tom Hiddleston, Jude Law, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Daniel Craig, Kenneth Brannagh, Oliver Reed, Patrick Stewart, Pete Postlethwaite, Jim Broadbent, Gerald Butler, Cillian Murphy, Toby Jones, Terry-Thomas, Jonathan Rhys-Davies, Robert Carlyle, Clive Owen, Roger Moore, Bill Nighy, Hugh Laurie, Stephen Fry, Anthony Andrews ... and there are many, many more fine UK actors not mentioned here and other younger ones rising up through the ranks, like Andrew Garfield, Daniel Radcliffe, Robert Pattinson, Jamie Bell, Eddie Redmayne ... and we haven't even started thinking about the female actors ... Angela Lansbury, Vivien Leigh, Julie Christie, Deborah Kerr, Julie Andrews, Tilda Swinton, Olivia de Havilland, Kate Winslet, Emma Thompson, Merle Oberon, Jenny Agutter, Imelda Staunton, Audrey Hepburn, Helen Mirren, Vanessa Redgrave, Judi Dench, Helena Bonham-Carter, Glenda Jackson, Claire Bloom, Kristin Scott-Thomas, Emily Blunt, Charlotte Rampling, Maggie Smith, Lynn Redgrave, Jacqueline Bissett, and many, many more ...

For those of you complaining that some of the actors on this list are Irish, Scottish, etc., and therefore don't deserve to be on said list, quick geography recap: the United Kingdom consists of Great Britain, Scotland, Northern Ireland, and Wales, so the likes of Liam Neeson, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Peter O'Toole deserve their spots on this list.

Well Peter O'Toole is debatable as it is disputed that he was born in either Galway, Ireland or Leeds, England. Daniel Day Lewis is English but holds both British and Irish citizenship, and Liam Neeson was born a catholic in the north. But at the end of the day nobody can get bent out of shape about it. It's pretty accurate to be fair!
