Not much from out country, so I'll name actresses too!

Australia
Cate Blanchett
Geoffrey Rush
Guy Pearce
Heath Ledger
Mel Gibson
Judy Davis
um....
Nicole Kidman's not too bad, I suppose....

Can't stand Sam Worthington or Russel Crowe. Chris Hemsworth is passable, but nothing special. Haven't seen Simon Baker in anything. Cate, Geoffrey and Guy are probably our greatest exports at the moment.

I think Simon Baker's pretty good when he's not looking like a metrosexual.

Haven't seen them in anything. Well, apparently Hugo Weaving was in the Transformers films, but I can't remember him in them. Can't remember the film at all, really, except for me wanting Shia laBoof to die at the end of the film... :pirat:

Finch was born in the UK, but raised in Australia (according to IMDB).

Have you watched NETWORK yet, FM? It's one of Shark's favorite films, IIRC.

No, I haven't. But going by the rating on IMDB, plus the fact Faye Dunaway's in it, I may just have to hire it.

Errol Flynn?

Just glad you left Hugh Jackman off. Kidman probably deserves to be up there. Her problem is more boring role choices than a lack of talent.

Thanks for that, GG. Apart from the obvious examples like Eisenstein, Tartovsky, Sokurov, and a few others, I'm not too familiar with Russian or Soviet cinema and television. I'm watching 17 MOMENTS OF SPRING now on Youtube with English subtitles. Looks incredible.

I highly recommend Seventeen Moments Of Spring. I maintain that Tikhonov would've made a superb Bond had he been born an Englishman. :)

Bill Shatner
Christopher Plummer
Keanu Reeves
Jim Carrey
Mike Myers
Donald Sutherland
Ryan Gosling
Ryan Reynolds
Nathan Filion
Kiefer Sutherland

I've updated my list to include Ryan Gosling and Ryan Reynolds, dropping two others. I'm trying to go with the biggest commercial names here, not necessarily the best actors or even my favourites, although my own preferences are obviously a factor.

His Stirlitz character is as much a cultural icon of Russia as Bond is of Britain. Seventeen Moments of Spring is still considered the benchmark for a TV film in Russia. And a rarity for the Soviet era - it was directed by a woman, Tatiana Lioznova.

Tiffany - how could you forget Leslie Nielsen, Dan Aykroyd, and Lois Maxwell - all surely more iconic than Sutherland Jr, or Reynolds?

Well the list is quite arbitrary obviously, but I'm leaning more towards current stars. Reynolds and Kief are both doing a lot of high profile work these days. I left out another famous oldie in Raymond Burr too, the former Ironside.

the lists aren't including women either. that's a different list.
