Male Celebrities who are *so much* Hotter & Talented than Leonardo DiCaprio... (HONESTLY, girls!)

by eragonbookfan | created - 10 May 2014 | updated - 4 months ago | Public

Yes, I'm being serious! ...And I really dare say, can even *act* leagues better than him. (Yeah, I know this description is a bit LENGTHY, but I'm only doing my best to be as specific as possible.) But hey, I KNOW a good actor/celebrity when I see one! (Other lists would likely joke about & waste your time, but I decided to be whole-heartedly *honest* on this topic instead.

"Joking" or 'trolling around' is the LAST thing I'd wanna do to anyone, even in this case! And I did not create this list because I'm a "jerk" ~ no way! I'm the nicest guy I ever met! lol I'm your *best* friend and you don't even know it.) Some of these are men, dead or alive, who assuredly DESERVE much more airtime & recognition than all that Leo's getting (AND some sort of big award too) for being overall more coherent & better actors, who actually SURPASS him with a keen sense of skill & ability! Boy, it just appears like many drooling, agitated, overzealous Leo fanboys and fangirls out there seem totally *oblivious* to the fact that THESE guys exist as well too! A few may be quite a ladies' man. lulz

(Now to be clear <dear READERS>, all of this is opinion-based ~ need I should remind you that opinions *exist*. To admit, I'm may not be the "best" to address this issue ~ and this certainly ain't no ploy to be rude, crude, crass, or unnecessarily mean about anything; I've got nothing against DiCaprio personally. This is just a bit of "honesty" & "reality" coming from someone actually STUDYING acting as a Hollywood-hopeful. Plus, I've made QUITE an effort in putting this whole thing together, so don't just go off on a tangent labeling & calling me another "jealous DiCaprio hater", 'cause that's just lazy. "Jealous... Jealous... Jealous..." I mean, is that the ONLY word in your vocabulary??? Truth is, I'm NOT at all. And I have certainly NOT created this list as thing to gain attention for "myself" ~ u kidding? I was only convinced bringing attention & a bit of love to *THESE* guys as a worthy enough cause, having the spotlight been unfairly taken away from a number of them. lol) All joking aside, there are *more* important things in life to take care of, concentrate on, & devote time to other than just THIS Leo's career ~ becoming too much of a sellout lately which is annoying as a reputation ~ not even in recent years gaining notoriety for being a so-called "expert" on & giving an ALTAR CALL to global warming, climate change, or whatever; I just warn you to brace yourselves whenever a star spouts off about something he knows NOTHING of, notwithstanding the trivia that he *dropped out* of high school... *cough* Greta Thunberg *cough* you're embarrassing your future. Go sit down! It's ridiculous, & it goes to ridiculous lengths....! Doesn't even matter that he called a pope or the corrupt United Nations in on it either. C'mon, Dr. KENT HOVIND is a MUCH better research scientist, teacher, & historian than DiCaprio. Or heck, even Bill Nye!

[No worries, I AM against pollution & destroying things unnecessarily.] But it just don't makes sense to me even for an "actor" to be a supposed 'expert' on climate change. But hey, c'mon, the "Climate Change" scare (or what used to be called "global warming") is pretty much a baloney hoax scam that ended like 16 years ago! Carbon dioxide, basically, is 0.04% of the atmosphere, not even one-tenth of 1%. Such tiny amounts can not affect the temperature. "Global warming" is just propaganda to justify new taxes and new bureaucracies.

He may be a self-promoted "environmentalist", but that doesn't erase or equal out all the trashy things he's done & continues to do to other people. In my humble unbiased opinion, I'd believe his MORAL COMPASS has been broken since birth.

FIRSTLY, *if* there is "global warming" (which is highly questionable & I doubt it), that doesn't prove that MAN is causing it. Think about it.... SECONDLY, *if* man is causing it, the government is the LAST one who should try to fix it; because their fix will cost 1000x times *more* than it should, be half as effective, & it won't work ~ show me *anything* they ever really fixed! A plot to just let the government in on, run & dictate your life ~ it's all a FARCE! Private Property ownership is the solution, not more big government regulation. I warn you, overall, the "environmentalist movement" isn't really about saving the environment ~ it's a plot to push Agenda 21 & establishing Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto, Plank #1, "Abolish private property." Don't look at me! Research it yourself. If that's the case, it kinda makes me wonder if this Leo dude is just another puppet being used for the Illuminati's coming corrupt New World Order (NWO).

Did you know? There is SAFE & CLEAN energy to perform?? (Even what President Trump, for example, is instituting in encouraging opening up & starting new energy companies & factories) You don't have to shut down all factories & hug trees to save the environment! Try cleaning up the beach! Or planting new trees! You'd be a lot more helpful, instead of acting like a bunch of cry-baby buffoons.

Leo's ironically the pure definition of a smug, patronizing, self-righteous, sanctimonious, out-of-touch, massive, narcissistic HYPOCRITE, an elitist snob like Clooney (and much of modern-day Hollywood celebrities) ~ burning fuel around the world in his private JET to celebrate New Years twice, flew 4,000 miles to just pick up an award, million-dollar diesel-burning YACHT, & all around DEBAUCHED life-style, he pollutes *way more* in a month than dozens of middle-class families do in a year; and then (like an Al Gore clone) has the nerve to lecture *us* about the environment, for us the hoard resources, yet THEY get to pollute all the want ~ typical Hollywood elitist, pestering you with their *annoying* requests. "Do as I say, not as I do..."; it's like PETA protesters eating animals while wearing a leather jacket and shoes. His real approach really seems to be saying is that all the resources are for him and you need to stop using them! lol Though in a fight between Dickaprio and George Clooney, I wonder who'd win first???

Trivially, every single thing USED in & to MAKE a movie can irresponsibly 'destroy' the climate - from the props, to the computers, to the vehicles, and to the chemicals put into that cheesy Oscar trophy, etc. Every single bit of anything for this is harmful to the climate ~ they are all too hypocritical.) The politics of greed in a nutshell. He supported Hillary, one of the most corrupt women/politicians on the planet. Other than that, Leo's self-made global-warming 'schlockumentary' "The 11th Hour" was a major box-office FLOP. And don't even get me started on "Before The Flood". (That's a subject Dr. Kent HOVIND would address better in his Science seminars.)

But when you get down to it, Dickaprio's talent is really just limited to frowning, shouting, doing a FREAKOUT routine. That's it! ...And playing a bit of a retard. I'm not joking.

Truth be told, he isn't very original ~ kinda overrated & can't even ACT his way out of a paper bag, no matter how many movies he's been, how many awards he gets, whether he has an Oscar or not. Having spent a overwhelming majority of time playing each & every character virtually the same; the habitual traits of the squinty-eyed, serious-eyebrow frown whispering-line delivery that he has done from film to film, since his career just *magically* took off somehow! Wow... At most just amateur, a mediocre WANNA-BE ~ no range, same tone, same face, same expression, NOTHING! Every line of dialogue he delivers is the SAME way; he's always ANGRY the same way; always SMUG & HAPPY the same way; always SAD the same way, etc! Across the board. It's kinda made him stale, lacking RANGE, no matter what ppl or 'Hollywood' say. At least Claire Danes got to say they both initially did not get along well on set of "romeo + juliet", where she accused DiCaprio of being immature. No surprise. And that flick is really no "Shakespeare" material at all. But like I said, I honestly can't take Leo serious in nearly ANY role he's in! Not even when he uses a ridiculous unconvincing accent, look like he's playing dress-up all the time, scream like a little girl, or even wears hilariously bad makeup to look like an older man (even though he looks 15). And any film he's in that seems *remotely* interesting, he ends up RUINING it...!

And has he ever been able to KEEP a woman? For the precious marriage life? Or just playing around in adultery? From woman to woman... That ain't cool.

Plus, is it me or does it seem his HEAD or face has weirdly expanded wider over the years.... maybe from "acting angry" too much?? Maybe it's that whole "I must FREAK OUT, shout, & cry" all in one scene in his work, trying too hard like that's what he considers "real acting". Surprisingly, it's NOT! 'Gangs Of New York' was overrated anyway (tho I liked Liam Neeson's cameo) but Leo made it worse with all the charisma of a digestive biscuit, and just about NO chemistry with his leading lady Diaz [which I think even 'Twilight' would laugh at].

In the end, I'm not SURPRISED he hadn't won an Oscar all those years, Why? Perhaps because he never deserved one. (After all being beaten TWICE by African-American actors, and people complain about "not enough" in the Academy) ~ and I wasn't even the LEAST bit swayed due to his recent win. Rather disappointed instead. (Just like I was with Sylvester Stallone losing "Best Supporting Actor" to Mark Rylance. lol wut??? Such a joke) In fact, I admit it was interesting seeing all these numerous Internet videos of people freakin' out over his Oscar win ~ how people can just LOSE IT over something so *nonessential*. And all those Leo Oscar memes never fail to make me shake my head with laughter; and with the Internet and that meme being so huge, the only thing many younger people know about the Oscars at ALL is that Leo had never won one... that's it! Actually, *I* would give Leo an award for 'Most Overrated Actor' of all time ~ being constantly nominated, and is always called an "underrated actor" everywhere because he hadn't won an Oscar yet ~ so he's definitely overrated. The complete deserving ones opposite DiCaprio would be the likes of Johnny Depp, Robert Downey Jr., or Gary Oldman (btw, who are REAL talents at being so versatile with changing their appearance & delivery to make each & every character unique.) DiCaprio's a fraud; and if you were ever "impressed" at his work, then you've been PUNK'D. I had firmly guessed there would ALWAYS be that one other actor who did a much better & deserving job than Leo did; and I predicted he would win [for "The Revenant"] only because of peer pressure to WEAK competition ~ no contest! GOOD LOOKS only get you so far, unfortunately too far ~ he's just gotten too lucky is all; likely having vast sorts of the most excellent agents putting him in all these *big* films with *big* directors... And he comes across pretty BLAND in interviews on the other hand. He was just given lucky DIRECTION is all ~ c'mon, ANY other competent actor could've been chosen to fight a CG bear, eat bison liver, sleep in a horse carcass, and won an Oscar for it! In all honesty, perhaps JOAQUIN PHOENIX would've made a better & believable Hugh Glass!) Besides, Leo's even stated himself, "...I only do this job because I love it, not to win prizes." ....Yeah sure, I guess you love it a little *too* much, pal; like an unhealthy OBSESSION with it.

Furthermore, director Scorsese (who I'm not particularly a fan of anyways, except for "HUGO" [2011]) needs to give it a *BREAK* using this Leo guy in every freakin' movie! Using De Niro, I could understand, because he surely is one of the best (& talented) actors out there. ...But DiCaprio? COME ON!!! ....And I wonder how laughable it is Scorsese must feeling jealous neVer been able to have Leo win any Oscar after casting him in SO many movies, when Alejandro González Iñárritu was able to have him win one after casting in just one film. xDDD

BEST EXAMPLE: At one point the main role of "American Psycho" bounced back & forth between him and Christian Bale - can you honestly see Leo topping Christian Bale's performance? Or any performance by Tom Hanks (or even Johnny Depp)?? Tom Hanks does what DiCaprio only WISHES he could do - actually BECOME the character he is portraying in whatever movie he is in - not just inside himself, but TO THE AUDIENCE. Like, Hanks WAS Forrest Gump; Johnny Depp WAS Jack Sparrow (Though to be fair, "What's Eating Gilbert Grape" did have some redeeming qualities, like Johnny Depp's character, and the emotions of them struggling as a family & all). But put DiCaprio in any scene next to an actual, recognized actor and just watch him disappear! For instance, Ben Kingsley in "shutter island", or Tom Hanks in "catch me if you can" ~ wow, their scenes together were quite frankly embarrassing. (No wonder Kirk Cameron's "Growing Pains" got canceled right after Leo joined in - maybe audience members sensed something quite disturbing or annoying about him.)

Though, if there's ONE redeemable thing about DiCaprio, it's when he was dating Jewish & Israeli model, Bar Refaeli (from 2006~2011).

"INCEPTION" (the film he's most notably known for) is a clear such case; [I'll give it this] the MUSIC & special effects were cool, but him & the characters and the story were NOT cool - not even the least bit sympathetic! Man, his constant vibe of nonsensical whispering, frowning, to insecure screaming, freakouts, & blaspheming the Lord's name in vain was just very disappointing & took me out of it. Bewildered how it made up this whole crazy, unrealistic, nonsensical, & MEANINGLESS ideal about "dreams", which still confuses the heck out of people TODAY, even after that stupid ending!

(I mean, c'mon, "Edge of Tomorrow" (2014) was a *much* more engaging & meaningful science fiction film than that OVERRATED circus-fest.)

It settles the fact that I'm *NEVER* wasting any of my hard-earned money on his movies... ever. Or even looking forward that Marylin Manson film or any new movie he's putting out - wish his film career would just pucker-up and DIE already. He doesn't deserve a majority of the praise he gets for playing the same insecure, smug, spoilt, frowning, whiny, screaming, raging, repressive, degenerate, foul-mouthed, blasphemous, antisocial, amoral, abusive, condescending character in so many damn movies...

...Movies with little to NO morals!

Playing characters that just only *encourage* horrific behavior. Couldn't he try playing a more unflappable character any time soon?? (One who doesn't "freakout" , or LOSE THEIR S*** at the drop of a hat!?) ...Or at the very least RETIRE???

(And I'm GLAD he didn't play Steve Jobs; not only would it not make any lick of sense since he doesn't even look the part (same goes for Fassbender), but what? Was he gonna SCREAM most of his lines?? Not to mention the late rumors him playing "Lenin" for pete's sake! I mean, does he HAVE to play *every* *single* *person* throughout history!??? I don't see him playing characters ~ I just SEE Leonardo DiCaprio; that's it! Moreover, I hardly remember his movie characters' names! He's in that group of actors who always play THEMSELVES in movies. (i.e. Jim Carrey, Tom Cruise, etc.)

"He looks like a girl." ~ Roger Ebert

(Need I say more??? ...I believe he should've actually retired after all the hype of "Titanic". As they say, "Better quit while you're ahead.") Though try closing your eyes & listening to his dialogue in Titanic too ~ it is worse than a high school play. Truly OVERRATED film, whether it's based on a true story or not! [Seriously, "Groundhog Day" (1993) is still a MUCH better tremendous romantic love story compared to that nonessential over-hyped blockbuster... or really ANY other film that Leo's been in] Never heard of it?? Not surprised. I say it's a classic underrated hidden gem that's been drowned out by much bizarre similar overrated films and movie stars throughout the years. It did win a BAFTA for Bets Original Screenplay. It's a work of *genius*. Give it a watch ~ you won't be disappointed! ;-]

There're some exceptions to the rule of course, but most child actors grow up to be talentless hacks (ex. Macaulay Culkin, Haley Joel Osmit, Edward Furlong, Gary Coleman, Corey Feldman, etc), And Dickaprio certainly wouldn't have made it as an adult if he wasn't lucky as a kid FIRST.

DISCLAIMER: Not ALL the men listed are necessarily actors ~ they're just simply celebrities, who do things even beyond just acting. And even if you claim they're "not that good," "they suck", "DiCaprio is 'much better' than a lot of these", "You don't know anything about acting", "Whoever created this list is a crazy idiot", or "He's won an Oscar now, so shut up!", well perhaps you haven't yet gotten to SEE their full potential! And a bunch of them ARE Oscar-material too! Some of their movie choices may not have always been the best, but hey, actors have to put a lot of trust in their directors or casting agents even. Perhaps Leo has just been given TOO MUCH of the spotlight ~ as a result, these guys don't have a lot of attention to even allow flexing their acting careers & abilities! Just you wait & see... ;-)

I realize I've only just scratched the surface here, but in the end, all of this is in my total, humble, un-biased [and correct] opinion. psych.

[By the way... I'll dare say this is a list of men who're even hotter & better than the likes of Brad Pitt, George Clooney, Michael Fassbender, Charlie Hunnam, Bradley Cooper, Eddie Redmayne, even Channing Tatum, ...just some other smug, overrated, irritating, cantankerous, snobbish, rancorous same-same celebrities I don't give two monkey HOOTS about.]

If you've enjoyed this page, please do "LIKE" through Facebook, and spread it around & share with others you know ~ I'd really appreciate if you could do that, but that's completely up to you. If you abhor this list, then I recommend U just find something else possibly better to do ~ you don't have to turn into a bunch of cyber-bullies, be all mean-spirited & profane about it, 'cause that'd be just immature & impulsive.

(And THANK YOU all so much, from the bottom of my heart, for over 41K views ~ just WOW. Goodness me, so unexpected; but sadly, I DO expect to get a lot of hate for making this. just as well looking at the comment section; seems the citizens who thumbed this page down with negative comments are far too loyal towards their precious Leo & his hypocrisy & Hollywood's. Pathetic ~ Haters R gonna Hate! And you have my pity ~ Peace out. And POOF! They're all gone! Wow, how'd that happen? ROFL! )

:-D

PS: To the trolls.... Nope, I'm a completely *straight* dude... I have an *amazing* woman in my life!

1. Michael Jackson

Soundtrack | Michael Jackson: Thriller

Michael Joseph Jackson was born on August 29, 1958 in Gary, Indiana, and entertained audiences nearly his entire life. His father, Joe Jackson (no relation to Joe Jackson, also a musician), had been a guitarist, but was forced to give up his musical ambitions following his marriage to Michael's ...

He's made so many good smash-hit songs, done dancing beyond compare, won so many awards, and c'mon, you CLEARLY know you have a winner when you've got a guy who can cause HUNDREDS of girls to faint at concerts. LOL He's also HELPED the cause of humanity in helping poor people and donating SO MUCH to charity. And not just randomly calling for the cause of "climate change." Plus, between the two he is the COOLER vegetarian. lulz. No matter what people still say to this day, the guy was innocent of all claims of child molestation. Don't forget his beautiful smile! :^) Kinda really wished he lasted throughout the "This Is It" tour before he disappeared in 2009. I'd say "RIP", but whether he's still alive or dead, IDK. Seen a lot of queer stuff about it.

2. Tom Welling

Actor | Smallville

Tom Welling is probably best known for playing Clark Kent on the hit television series Smallville (2001).

He was born Thomas Joseph Welling in Putnam Valley, New York, to Bonnie and Thomas Welling, who is a retired executive for General Motors. He has a younger brother, Mark Welling, who is also an ...

Because of the TV show "Smallville", I will always think he has superpowers, no matter what movie's he's in. That's a good thing, & I'm happy with it. Man this guy's career is underrated! Give him more work, Hollywood!!!!!!! He friggin' deserves it! Please start a new movie project now! And quite a humble guy too. Once said, "I don't want to be a celebrity for the sake of being a celebrity. I want to work and then go home and live in private." Alongside Henry Cavill, Christopher Reeve, or even Dean Cain, he is a great definitive Superman/Clark Kent! ;-)

3. Jason Momoa

Actor | Aquaman

Joseph Jason Namakaeha Momoa was born on August 1, 1979, in Honolulu, Hawaii. He is the son of Coni (Lemke), a photographer, and Joseph Momoa, a painter. His father is of Native Hawaiian and Samoan descent; and his mother, who is from Iowa, is of German, Irish, and Native American ancestry. Jason ...

One. of. the. coolest. ever! I love especially the shaved part of his eyebrow which really gives him a fierce intimidating look! Seriously, I'd love this guy to play the DC comic villain LOBO - I mean, LOOK at him!! He fits everything about the character to a tee! But looks like now he's Aquaman. I somewhat think it's a miscast of some sort, but I guess I'm up for it - the recent picture of him in the getup looks pretty hardcore. Hoping the rest of his career can get better compared to recently.

4. Jensen Ackles

Actor | Supernatural

Jensen Ross Ackles, better known as simply Jensen Ackles, was born on March 1, 1978, in Dallas, Texas, to Donna Joan (Shaffer) and actor Alan Ackles. He has English, German, and Scottish ancestry. Jensen grew up in Richardson, Texas, together with his older brother, Joshua, and a younger sister, ...

S.O.B! (Son of a *itch - his usual catchphrase on "Supernatural") Take one look and you are hooked. His adorable smile, his soul searching eyes, and his amazing biceps make him irresistibly perfect (if you're a girl that is). If there was ever a male actor that’s under-appreciated, then this is him. On his CW show Supernatural, most fans start watching the show to see his costar, but they stay because of him. Unfortunately this dude is already married, but that shouldn’t stop us from admiring his talent. Would've been interesting to probably see him playing the rich businessman in the movie "The Encounter" (2010), rather than "Sting". Because he's rather got that charismatic, sarcastic, and arrogant personality down to a perfect tee. He and Jared Padelecki are like PEAS in a POD, on "Supernatural", when coming to play two characters that stick together like glue on that show! ;)

5. Eric Hovind

Writer | Night at the Creation Museum

Eric Hovind is known for Night at the Creation Museum (2021), Trump 2024: The World After Trump (2020) and The Creation Today Show (2011).

No picture? Then honestly try using "Google Images" then. You may even notice him in this video's intro ;-) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IF6h_hyraGQ

Great intelligent & kind guy, motivated to spreading the truth around regarding the evidence for special Biblical Creation, Intelligent Design, Good Science & spiritual experiments & lessons, as well exposing the pseudoscientific religious theory of old-earth Darwinian evolutionism!

His dad, Dr. Kent Hovind, commonly called "Dr. Dino", is a prominent and controversial young Earth creationist. He founded Creation Science Evangelism in 1989. DESERVES a good amount of recognition, and MUCH better scientist & researcher than DiCaprio, for sure! After being release from an unjust persecution in prison, for supposedly "breaking" one of the stupidest laws ever made in the history of the world - structuring!

6. Paul Walker

Actor | The Fast and the Furious

Paul William Walker IV was born in Glendale, California. He grew up together with his brothers, Caleb and Cody, and sisters, Ashlie and Amie. Their parents, Paul William Walker III, a sewer contractor, and Cheryl (Crabtree) Walker, a model, separated around September 2004. His grandfather, William ...

RIP (race in peace), bro. You were TOO cool!

Here's my tribute video to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnLp-X7egFc

Out of respect for you, I watched Furious 7 (or Wild Speed: Sky Mission) TWICE!

Moreover, his most underrated performance I think was in the movie "HOURS" (2013) ~ quite a refreshing new kind of story. ;-)

7. Elvis Presley

Soundtrack | Girls! Girls! Girls!

Elvis Aaron Presley was born on January 8, 1935 in East Tupelo, Mississippi, to Gladys Presley (née Gladys Love Smith) and Vernon Presley (Vernon Elvis Presley). He had a twin brother who was stillborn. In 1948, Elvis and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee where he attended Humes High School. ...

Honestly, nobody could be more polar-OPPOSITE to dicaprio than someone like Elvis. With almost his entire career, he was genuine with his work, known to friends & fans for his extremely kind-hearted and generous personality; especially onscreen as an actor, especially to women he courted. What does Leo do? Frown. FREAKOUT. Abuse. Dehumanizes almost every woman he shares the screen with. A screwy wannabe.

Though I even hear Elvis was a bit Jewish by ancestry; and plus, some Cherokee, even a descendant of one of Abraham Lincoln's grandparents. On top of that, he was fine with being called "The King of Rock N' Roll", but was uncomfortable with the title "The King".

Why?

Because he replied, "I'm not the King. To me there's only one king, and that's Christ... Jesus Christ is the King. I'm just an entertainer."

Humble guy!

8. Christopher Reeve

Actor | Superman

Christopher D'Olier Reeve was born September 25, 1952, in New York City, to journalist Barbara Johnson (née Barbara Pitney Lamb) and writer/professor F.D. Reeve (Franklin D'Olier Reeve). He came from an upper-class family; his paternal grandfather was CEO of Prudential Financial, and one of his ...

The original Superman himself! I kinda wondered for a while why he and Michael Keaton weren't thrown into a Batman & Superman film much earlier... Would've been neat I guess. He's so close to the real physical Superman, I nearly forget it's Mr. Reeve!

9. Charlton Heston

Actor | Ben-Hur

With features chiseled in stone, and renowned for playing a long list of historical figures, particularly in Biblical epics, the tall, well-built and ruggedly handsome Charlton Heston was one of Hollywood's top leading men of his prime and remained active in front of movie cameras for over sixty ...

IN FACT, MY FAVORITE ACTOR OF ALL TIME!! Besides "Groundhog Day" (1993), BEN-HUR is ARGUABLY THE BEST MOVIE EVER!! To this day, "The Ten Commandments" & "Ben-Hur" are his definite golden roles! ;) Don't bother watching "Planet of the Apes"; that flick is one overrated pile of a sci-fi MESS!!! (I literally don't care for ANY bit of the franchise) I watched it, hated seeing him delivering bad dialogue to actors in obvious, laugh-out-loud, bad ape makeup - didn't even like hearing him swear or seeing him naked, either! Seriously, don't watch it. ...STOP going to the Google search bar!!

10. Garrett Hedlund

Actor | Tron: Legacy

Born in Roseau, Minnesota, Garrett John Hedlund is the son of Kristi Anne (Yanish) and Robert Martin Hedlund. He has two older siblings, Nathaniel and Amanda. His father is of Swedish descent and his mother is of German and Norwegian ancestry.

Garrett spent his early years growing up on a farm in a ...

He's become perhaps the only "likable" thing in the unfaithful "Eragon" film, playing the character Murtagh - especially amongst the girls. lulz

And TRON: Legacy was quite a fun flick too!

Give this guy more work!

11. Johnny Depp

Actor | Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street

John Christopher "Johnny" Depp II was born on June 9, 1963 in Owensboro, Kentucky, to Betty Sue Palmer (née Wells), a waitress, and John Christopher Depp, a civil engineer. He was raised in Florida. He dropped out of school when he was 15, and fronted a series of music-garage bands, including one ...

I have to admit, is one of the most talented & versatile actors I've ever seen, despite some controversial films. His Jack Sparrow is literally one of the best characters of historical fiction, savy?? lol Oscar-worthy.

12. Tim Tebow

Producer | Run the Race

Regarded by many as the greatest player in the history of college football, Tim Tebow was born in the Philippines to Baptist missionaries. Before she became pregnant with him, his mother had contracted amoebic dysentery. During her pregnancy, the medications used to treat the dysentery caused a ...

Regarding his look, his build, his frame, his smile, and his whole appearance that's just so awesome & likeable! An he's only using his career giving credit where it's due. He's not spouting HIS own "ego" - but Someone else's. ;-) If he was a gay athlete, guess you wouldn't say a thing. Go figure. I wouldn't mind him trying out for a cool role in an upcoming decent flick! ;-)

13. Jim Caviezel

Actor | The Passion of the Christ

James Patrick Caviezel was born on September 26, 1968 in Mount Vernon, Washington. He was one of five children born to Margaret (Lavery), a former stage actress, and James Caviezel, a chiropractor. The Caviezels are a closely knit Catholic family. He is of Irish (mother) and Swiss-Romansh and ...

I sincerely believe this man deserves a significant OSCAR of some kind, especially for his Christ role -that must have been TOUGH to pull off! After all getting struck by lightning, having his arm dislocated, and for real getting a scar from the lashing!

14. Chris Hemsworth

Actor | Snow White and the Huntsman

Christopher "Chris" Hemsworth was born on August 11, 1983 in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia to Leonie Hemsworth (née van Os), an English teacher & Craig Hemsworth, a social-services counselor. His brothers are actors, Liam Hemsworth & Luke Hemsworth; he is of Dutch (from his immigrant maternal ...

Couldn't imagine anyone else playing the role of Thor better than him!! He was great in "Red Dawn" as well, ALSO has a great talent of really doing accents well. That's even a film I kinda like pretty much, even though much have despised it.

15. Will Smith

A Fresh Prince, rapper, box office king, hilarious quotes & catchphrases.... after all that I really think he's the one who TOTALLY deserves an Oscar someday! Yeah, Margot Robbie, you look better with Will in "Focus", unlike with that screamer DiCaprio.

16. Henry Cavill

Actor | Man of Steel

Henry William Dalgliesh Cavill was born on the Bailiwick of Jersey, a British Crown dependency in the Channel Islands. His mother, Marianne (Dalgliesh), a housewife, was also born on Jersey, and is of Irish, Scottish and English ancestry. Henry's father, Colin Richard Cavill, a stockbroker, is of ...

I don't care what anyone says - Man of Steel was an AWESOME movie, comeback for Superman, and a unique one too! Really wish it was Oscar-nominated for its FANTASTIC visual effect & incredible music!

He certainly has got the better real trick of doing different accents.

And who could've guessed Superman would be the son of Jesus?? ;) Remember "Count of Monte' Cristo"??

17. Justin Hartley

Actor | This Is Us

Justin Hartley can currently be seen starring on NBC's critically acclaimed, award winning series, "This Is Us," alongside Mandy Moore, Milo Ventimiglia, Sterling K. Brown and Chrissy Metz. Created by Dan Fogelman, "This Is Us" premiered in September 2016 and instantly broke ratings records, ...

Apart from playing Green Arrow in the hit TV show "Smallville", I haven't seen him in anything else! WHY?? He DESERVES a lot more attention than he's getting. Please start a new movie project now!

Yet, seems to have the like-ness of the "Affleck family". *psych. lol

Really unique face, profile, and kind delivery. I was pleasantly surprised by "A Gifted Man." Underrated actor.

19. Matt Dillon

Matt Dillon's successful film career has spanned over three decades and has showcased his wide range of dramatic and comedic talents. Dillon displayed his versatility with an arresting performance co-starring as a racist cop in the critically acclaimed Paul Haggis film Crash. This role earned him ...

21. Gerard Butler

HIS real talent of accents certainly is remarkable. News flash, saw him first in "Little Women" - then eventually in "Batman Begins". Pretty cool guy. And he's not the first actor who's played both Batman and Moses. Have you seen Val Kilmer's "Prince of Egypt"??

23. Joel Edgerton

Actor | The Gift

Joel Edgerton was born on June 23, 1974 in Blacktown, New South Wales, Australia, to Marianne (van Dort) and Michael Edgerton, who is a solicitor and property developer. His brother is filmmaker Nash Edgerton. His mother is a Dutch immigrant. Joel went to Hills Grammar School in the Western Suburbs...

Gotta give him credit to having one of the kindest faces on an actor, and quite frankly his scenes with Leo in "gatsby" were quite embarrassing.

24. Alex Pettyfer

Actor | Magic Mike

Alexander Richard Pettyfer was born in Hertfordshire and raised in Windsor. His mother, Lee (Robinson), is an interior designer. His father, Richard Pettyfer, is a fellow actor. His parents divorced and Alex now has a younger half-brother, James, from his mother's re-marriage to a property ...

His movie "Endless Love" was quite a touching film, IMO. Actually moved me to tears. Please start a new movie project now!

25. Heath Ledger

Actor | Brokeback Mountain

When hunky, twenty-year-old heart-throb Heath Ledger first came to the attention of the public in 1999, it was all too easy to tag him as a "pretty boy" and an actor of little depth. He spent several years trying desperately to sway this image, but this was a double-edged sword. His work comprised ...

It's a pity that Ledger can't act anymore... What a fantastic & entertaining Joker... almost didn't look like him! lulz Wasn't always necessarily a fan of him, but it would have been interesting to watch how famous & versatile he would've gotten & what other movie roles he could've undertaken after winning that Oscar. The way I heard it, he got so into his character, that his girlfriend thought him crazy, and he suffered from insomnia, and tried taking sleeping drugs, and unfortunately took his own life by accident.

Perhaps Jared Leto does him some justice.... ;-)

26. Liam Neeson

Actor | Kinsey

Liam Neeson was born on June 7, 1952 in Ballymena, Northern Ireland, to Katherine (Brown), a cook, and Bernard Neeson, a school caretaker. He was raised in a Catholic household. During his early years, Liam worked as a forklift operator for Guinness, a truck driver, an assistant architect and an ...

Should've been Oscar-nominated for both "Les Miserables" (1998 ~ the better one), and "Taken" (2008).

27. Daniel Day-Lewis

Actor | There Will Be Blood

Born in London, England, Daniel Michael Blake Day-Lewis is the second child of Cecil Day-Lewis, Poet Laureate of the U.K., and his second wife, actress Jill Balcon. His maternal grandfather was Sir Michael Balcon, an important figure in the history of British cinema and head of the famous Ealing ...

With his 3 Oscars, REAL skill with accents, versatile & energetic acting style & appearance, and extremely kind-looking face, he assuredly deserves a high spot on this list!

Wonder what his next role will be....? ;-)

28. Benedict Cumberbatch

Actor | The Imitation Game

Benedict Timothy Carlton Cumberbatch was born and raised in London, England. His parents, Wanda Ventham and Timothy Carlton (born Timothy Carlton Congdon Cumberbatch), are both actors. He is a grandson of submarine commander Henry Carlton Cumberbatch, and a great-grandson of diplomat Henry Arnold ...

The voice to one of the greatest characters of all time to go down in film history, Smaug the Dragon. Khan was especially intimidating. Oh my HECK that was awesome!!!

(...but am I the only one who didn't like Imitation Game?)

29. Matthew Fox

Actor | Bone Tomahawk

Matthew Chandler Fox was born in Abington, Pennsylvania. His mother, Loretta B. (Eagono), was a schoolteacher, and his father, Francis G. Fox, was a consultant for an oil company, who raised longhorn cattle and horses and grew barley for Coors beer. He has Italian (from his maternal grandfather), ...

His performance in "Behind the Mask" (1999) is definitely one of the best underrated performances ever, IMO.

30. Joe Manganiello

Actor | True Blood

Joe Manganiello is an American actor, producer, director, and author. He was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Susan (Brachanow) and Charles John Manganiello, and has a younger brother, Nicholas who is also his producing partner.

Come a long way from being a Peter Parker bully, has built-up, grew his hair, and looks ULTRA fit!

31. Dwayne Johnson

Actor | Black Adam

Dwayne Douglas Johnson, also known as The Rock, was born on May 2, 1972 in Hayward, California. He is the son of Ata Johnson (born Feagaimaleata Fitisemanu) and professional wrestler Rocky Johnson (born Wayde Douglas Bowles). His father, from Amherst, Nova Scotia, Canada, is black (of Black Nova ...

I know he's no Daniel Day Lewis, but considering where "The Rock" came from, he has become a pretty decent actor; he's exceptionally good in about whatever range of film he's in. Fast & Furious 6 is his best film IMO! And I don't know why a lot of people hate G.I. Joe Retaliation - I seriously thought it was a fun action flick.... ;) Except for supporting Sleepy Joe Biden.... that was an absolute dumb move. The dude is the worst president in history.

32. Jason Statham

Actor | Crank

Jason Statham was born in Shirebrook, Derbyshire, to Eileen (Yates), a dancer, and Barry Statham, a street merchant and lounge singer. He was a Diver on the British National Diving Team and finished twelfth in the World Championships in 1992. He has also been a fashion model, black market salesman ...

All his action movies are quite sweet! Quite intimidating as the villain in Furious 7 - I'll give it that. Looking forward to the sequel... ;-)

33. Alan Ritchson

Actor | Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Alan Ritchson has carved a space for himself on both the large and small screens since he made the trek from a small town in Florida to Los Angeles.

Alan Michael Ritchson was born in Grand Forks, North Dakota, to Vickie (Harrell), a high school teacher, and David Ritchson, a U.S. Air Force Chief ...

I first saw him play Aquaman in "Smallville" - I'm glad he's gotten more attention after just being cast in "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles"

34. Tony Curtis

Actor | Some Like It Hot

Tony Curtis was born Bernard Schwartz, the eldest of three children of Helen (Klein) and Emanuel Schwartz, Jewish immigrants from Hungary. Curtis himself admits that while he had almost no formal education, he was a student of the "school of hard knocks" and learned from a young age that the only ...

Took me a while figure out he was Jamie Lee Curtis' dad!

35. William Moseley

William Peter Moseley was born on April 27, 1987, in Gloucester, England, to Juliette (Fleming) and Peter Moseley, a cinematographer. He is the eldest of three children with a younger sister named Daisy and and younger brother named Ben. His father's name is also William's middle name.

He wanted to ...

Peter Pevensie! 'Nuff said.... ^^ Please start a new movie project now!

36. Ben Affleck

Producer | Argo

Benjamin Géza "Ben" Affleck-Boldt was born on August 15, 1972 in Berkeley, California and raised in Cambridge, Massachusetts, to mother Chris Anne (Boldt), a school teacher, and father Timothy Byers "Tim" Affleck, a social worker. Ben has a younger brother, actor Casey Affleck, who was born in 1975...

My favorite LIVING actor! I remember watching "Pearl Harbor"; though not a historical accurate film (& a lot of things went over my head) but I saw HIM in it, and he was perhaps the most likable (if not the *ONLY* likable) character out of the whole movie - something about him, his build, his frame, his jaw, his delivery, etc. I just LIKED him! I know his film choices have not always been great (though I actually kinda liked "Gigli" - yes, not kidding), but I've found him to be exceptionally good in nearly everything he's in. And, duh, I bet he's matured over the past 10 years. And has even won TWO Oscars as a film director! (I bet YOU, dear reader, are better than you were 10 years ago) But I think the role of the Caped Crusader is THE role that has been waiting for him & intended for him all this time!! I was STUPENDOUSLY excited when I read the news that he was announced as the new BATMAN, and it fully made sense to me - and man, seeing the Internet backlash on him was just lewd, crude, outlandish, and unnecessarily mean! And while Michael Keaton was able to play the reserved character of Batman (keeping all the pain inside), & while Christian Bale's Batman was able to be more along the lines of the PHYSICAL action-type of brooding Batman, I believe Ben Affleck will have the ability to COMBINE the two together to become the ultimate Dark Knight!

I'm really excited for the 2016 movie, though one thing is lacking: Commissioner Gordon. And in my opinion BRYAN CRANSTON would play a GREAT and even better Commissioner Gordon - no disrespect to Gary Oldman's performance, but (being part of a the huge petition myself) Cranston playing the new police chief is something I wanna see!! (Because if you watch the first season of "Breaking Bad", his look is PRETTY close to that of the comic book character.)

37. Michael Bolton

Soundtrack | Back to School

Michael Bolton, the multiple Grammy Award-winning singer, songwriter and social activist, has sold more than 65 million albums and singles worldwide.

His mother was Irish, from County Longford, while his American-born father is ...

Sure, say what you want about Gibson; I mean I truly believe his faults are a result of of a corrupt & dark Hollywood - and the man still is talented & quite innovative! In fact, try watching his film "APOCALYPTO" which he directed way back in 2006 - it was AMAZING! Believe me, a way better action film than DiCaprio's stupid, overrated, horrendous, & whiny "The Departed"!

40. Zac Efron

Actor | High School Musical 3: Senior Year

Zachary David Alexander Efron was born October 18, 1987 in San Luis Obispo, California, to Starla Baskett, a secretary, and David Efron, an electrical engineer. He has a younger brother, Dylan. The surname "Efron", which is Hebrew and a Biblical place name, comes from Zac's Polish Jewish paternal ...

High School Musical, whether you like it or not, truly jump-started his career, and is surely one of the most interesting & talented Jewish actors out there! ;)

41. Tom Hiddleston

Actor | The Avengers

Thomas William Hiddleston was born in Westminster, London, to English-born Diana Patricia (Servaes) and Scottish-born James Norman Hiddleston. His mother is a former stage manager, and his father, a scientist, was the managing director of a pharmaceutical company. He started off at the preparatory ...

Loki is honestly one of the most complex characters, and interesting villains, I have ever seen in theaters!

42. Scott Weinger

Is DJ's boyfriend on "Full House", and voiced "Aladdin". Still got it on the spin-off show. ;-)

43. James Dean

James Byron Dean was born February 8, 1931 in Marion, Indiana, to Mildred Marie (Wilson) and Winton A. Dean, a farmer turned dental technician.

Like the original "old school" Paul Walker of his day..... ;-)

44. Jared Padalecki

Actor | Supernatural

Jared Padalecki was born in San Antonio, Texas, to Sherri (Kammer), a teacher of English, and Gerald Padalecki, a tax accountant. He is of Polish (father) and German, English, Scottish, and French (mother) descent. Jared started to take acting lessons when he was 12. Then, he won the "Claim to Fame...

"Supernatural" is quite an experience, and he's got GREAT onscreen chemistry with Jensen! ;)

45. Sylvester Stallone

Actor | Rocky

Sylvester Stallone is an athletically built, dark-haired American actor/screenwriter/director/producer, the movie fans worldwide have been flocking to see Stallone's films for over 40 years, making "Sly" one of Hollywood's biggest-ever box office draws.

Sylvester Stallone was born on July 6, 1946, ...

One of the most Oscar-snubbed actors in history! "ADRIAAAAAAAAN!!!" Boy, nearly all his films teach something very important, meaningful, & worthwhile - MORE than all of DiCaprio's movies *combined*. So HAPPY he won that Golden Globe, but was sorely disappointed he didn't finally win the Oscar for "Rocky" he should've after all these decades. Seriously... MARK RYLANCE??? Makes sense that probably the Oscars don't like a awarding a Republican anymore.

46. Liam Hemsworth

Actor | The Hunger Games

Liam Hemsworth was born on January 13, 1990, in Melbourne, Australia, and is the younger brother of actors Chris Hemsworth and Luke Hemsworth. He is the son of Leonie (van Os), a teacher of English, and Craig Hemsworth, a social-services counselor. He is of Dutch (from his immigrant maternal ...

Seriously, BOTH these brothers are even hotter than Channing Tatum! C'mon. He woke up one morning looked over at Miley Cyrus, and thought to himself :"It aint worth it." I don't blame him, I'm cheering him on!

47. Eric Bana

Actor | Dirty John

Eric Bana was born Eric Banadinovic on August 9, 1968, in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. He is the younger of two brothers. His father, named Ivan Banadinovic, came from Zagreb, Croatia, and worked as a manager for Caterpillar Inc. His mother, named Eleanor Banadinovic, came from a German family ...

His HULK was especially good, though a lot of folks didn't think so. Many said it was just "boring" & "boring" - but that didn't stop me. I saw it, and still ended up enjoying it.

48. Ewan McGregor

Actor | Moulin Rouge!

Ewan Gordon McGregor was born on March 31, 1971 in Perth, Perthshire, Scotland, to Carol Diane (Lawson) and James Charles McGregor, both teachers. His uncle is actor Denis Lawson. He was raised in Crieff. At age 16, he left Morrison Academy to join the Perth Repertory Theatre. His parents ...

Like many people, I look forward to the Obi-Wan Kenobi spin-off film... ;-)

49. Kirk Cameron

Actor | Growing Pains

Kirk Thomas Cameron was born in Panorama City, California, to Barbara Cameron (née Barbara Jeanne Bausmith), a homemaker, and Robert Cameron, a teacher. Though his parents initially did not project show business aspirations onto their children, a family friend in the business noted to Barbara that ...

One of the most underrated & misunderstood actors ever.

His acting performance in the entire LEFT BEHIND (2000 ~ 2003) drama series was an clear utter surprise - enough to tell me that he's got some great acting chops up his sleeve. And "Fireproof" (2008) is a much better marriage film than "Gone Girl" certainly.

Man, everyone these days just mocks, ridicules, and slanders him for just speaking up as a blood-bought, Bible-believing, born-again Christian, buddying alongside Ray Comfort from the "Way of the Master" series, or even being shamelessly thrown in the "saving christmas" movie, which got a ton of unexpected hate for some reason. Hey, it's not his fault - actors have to put a lot of trust in their directors. And I CERTAINLY don't get why the Razzies decided THIS film was their "worst movie" pick, and Kirk Cameron and the "worst actor." And no need to blame him - hey, I thought it wasn't as bad as people say it is. I've seen worse! Fact of the matter is, it's HARD to make a good movie. But I at least somewhat appreciate the MESSAGE it's trying to get across...

Hey, someone teaching & showing anybody about Jesus, how to get saved & go to Heaven is a MUCH more worthwhile cause than ANYTHING Leonardo DiCaprio - the screaming hack - has ever done as a whole. But hey based on some pf the information that's been gathered, it was Cameron's ex-atheism that sadly did have a negative effect on Leo.

50. Tom Hardy

Actor | Inception

With his breakthrough performance as Eames in Christopher Nolan's sci-fi thriller Inception (2010), English actor Tom Hardy has been brought to the attention of mainstream audiences worldwide. However, the versatile actor has been steadily working on both stage and screen since his television debut...

Certainly thought he or Stallone deserved an Oscar more than Mark Rylance... Certainly leagues better than DiCaprio, great skill at accents, or blending himself into a character, though sure wearing things on his face a lot. LOL

51. Chris Evans

Actor | The Avengers

Christopher Robert Evans is an American actor, film producer, and director. Evans began his acting career in typical fashion: performing in school productions and community theatre.

He was born in Boston, Massachusetts, the son of Lisa (Capuano), who worked at the Concord Youth Theatre, and G. ...

I admit, I first saw him in Fantastic Four (which I personally thought wasn't that bad), now him playing Captain America I can certainly say is an expanded improvement. From playing someone rather snob and egotistical, to someone who's more diplomatic, patriotic, & altruistic.

PS: Though what you did to "lightyear" was a really stupid thing to do.

52. Steve McQueen

Actor | The Great Escape

He was the ultra-cool male film star of the 1960s, and rose from a troubled youth spent in reform schools to being the world's most popular actor. Over 40 years after his untimely death from mesothelioma in 1980, Steve McQueen is still considered hip and cool, and he endures as an icon of popular ...

"The Great Escape" (1963), based on a true story, was one of the best World War 2 movies, if not one of the best films I've ever seen! Should be right up there with the popularities around Schindler's list, saving private ryan, inglorious b-----ds, or even Patton.

Not kidding when I say that all that McQueen ever did in THAT film was more badass, incredible, man-like, & brave than any of Dicaprio's films combined!

53. Joseph Gordon-Levitt

Actor | Inception

Joseph Leonard Gordon-Levitt was born February 17, 1981 in Los Angeles, California, to Jane Gordon and Dennis Levitt. Joseph was raised in a Jewish family with his late older brother, Dan Gordon-Levitt, who passed away in October 2010. His parents worked for the Pacifica Radio station KPFK-FM and ...

In maintaining a sense of innocence, "Angels In The Outfield" is still one of my childhood favorites! ^_^

54. Patrick Dempsey

Actor | Grey's Anatomy

Patrick will next be seen in Eli Roth's new feature film THANKSGIVING as well as Michael Mann's new film, FERRARI, in which he stars opposite Adam Driver and Penélope Cruz. He was just seen starring in the Disney+ feature film and sequel to ENCHANTED, DISENCHANTED, opposite Amy Adams and most ...

55. James Marsters

Actor | Buffy the Vampire Slayer

James graduated from Davis High School and attended Juilliard, the Pacific Conservatory of the Performing Arts, and the American Conservatory Theatre. After spending ten years doing stage work he finally moved to L.A. to pursue a career in film and television. After appearing in several guest roles...

Gotta say, his "Brainiac" portrayal on "Smallville" was not only sneaky & intimidating, but was beyond memorable.

56. Michael Rosenbaum

Actor | Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3

Michael Owen Rosenbaum is an American actor and pod-caster. He is known for portraying Lex Luthor on the Superman television series Smallville, a role that TV Guide included in their 2013 list of "The 60 Nastiest Villains of All Time". Rosenbaum is also known for portraying Martinex in Guardians of...

Just like Jesse Eisenberg being Jewish. Pretty much played the best on-screen Lex Luthor I've ever seen. Wonder how Jessie will top his...? ;-)

57. Hayden Christensen

Hayden Christensen was born April 19, 1981 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. His parents, Alie and David Christensen, are in the communications business. He is of Danish (father) and Swedish and Italian (mother) descent. Hayden grew up in Markham, Ontario, with siblings Kaylen, Hejsa, and ...

He made almost any guy with long hair (i.e. Anakin Skywalker) look really cool! ;D

He's acted well in other movies, and you can blame his bland performance in Star Wars only on poor direction - that's all that it is.

58. Timothy Olyphant

Actor | Justified

From Timothy Olyphant's first screen appearances, such as his two-minute bit in The First Wives Club (1996), to "Nicko", whose presence at times dwarfed the island in A Perfect Getaway (2009), he has been a force to be reckoned with.

Born in Hawaii, Timothy David Olyphant was raised in Modesto, ...

Has been quite an exceptionally good actor in almost anything he's in; great villain from Die Hard 4, and that was a pleasant surprise.

59. Karl Urban

Actor | Star Trek

Originally from Wellington, New Zealand, Karl Urban now lives in Auckland. Born on June 7, 1972, he is the son of a leather-goods manufacturer (who had hoped that Karl would follow in his footsteps). His first acting role was when he was 8 -- he had a line on a television series. However, he did ...

Lord of the Rings is what helped me notice him.

60. Scott Eastwood

Scott Eastwood is an American actor and model. He was born as Scott Clinton Reeves in Carmel, Monterey County, California, to Jacelyn Ann Reeves, a flight attendant, and Clint Eastwood, an actor and director. He grew up in Hawaii. Scott has a younger sister, Kathryn Reeves, and many half-siblings.

...

Surprised to hear he was the SON of Clint Eastwood. He seems to be a mix of Thor, Clint, and Beckham all at the same time.

61. Richard Armitage

Richard Crispin Armitage was born and raised in Leicester, England, to Margaret (Hendey), a secretary, and John Armitage, an engineer. He attended Pattison College in Binley Road, Coventry, where he discovered his love for acting. He took part in many theatre productions all over the UK, from ...

Three weeks before his birth, his father was elected President of the United States, and the nation ...

Cool he figured inventing the idea of attaching his wallet to his pocket with a chain, so his wallet wouldn't be pick-pocketed. Quite presidential IMO, though he didn't have any political background. ;-)

65. Stephen Amell

Actor | Arrow

Stephen Amell is a Canadian actor, known for portraying Oliver Queen / Green Arrow in the Arrowverse television franchise (based on the comic character of the same name) and Casey Jones in Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Out of the Shadows (2016).

Stephen Adam Amell was born on May 8, 1981 in Toronto,...

Haven't seen the Arrow series, but his Casey Jones in TMNT2 was cool. ;-)

66. Matt Bomer

Matt was raised in Spring, Texas, and educated at Klein High School, near Houston. After school, he attended Carnegie Mellon University in...

Due to his sheer likeness to Henry Cavill, he could definitely be the next Superman in the DCEU!

67. John Schneider

Actor | The Dukes of Hazzard

John Richard Schneider IV was born April 8, 1960, in Mt. Kisco, New York, to Shirley and John Richard "Jack" Schneider III, a pilot and U.S. Air Force veteran. His parents divorced when he was two. John began acting at the age of eight. He was in many plays in New York City. He and his mother moved...

Probably played the best rendition of "Jonathan Kent" in a Superman-related series (right before Kevin Costner, IMO.)

68. Shane Harper

Actor | Hightown

Shane Harper began dancing, singing, and acting in community theater at the age of 9. He was offered agency representation in the spring of 2006, at a regional dance competition. Shane obtained a black belt in Kempo Karate, and is an accomplished musician and songwriter, as well as a professionally...

Well done, Shane. Well done! You do it a great job for the demographic. "God's Not Dead" was quite informative & insightful - a great dose of reality. ;-)

69. Jonathan Taylor Thomas

Jonathan Taylor Thomas was born Jonathan Taylor Weiss on September 8, 1981 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, to Claudine (Gonsalves) and Stephen Weiss. He has an older brother, Joel, and has Pennsylvania Dutch (German) and Portuguese ancestry. Growing up, he liked the music group Boyz II Men, and his ...

THE definitive 90's child actor! Many watched & thought of him as a smart, suave, and cool. I had always watched the "Lion King", not knowing it was him at the time. But boy, did I start to see him as a real idealistic smart kid in a lot of the films I saw growing up - he even played PINOCCHIO, in a really underrated film! Especially the show "Home Improvement" really surprised me as well! ;D

70. Josh Duhamel

His father, James Donald McConaughey, was a Mississippi-born gas station owner who ran an oil pipe supply business. He is ...

Alright, alright, alright... Yup! I'm glad HE took home the Oscar that year, instead of DiCaprio. Plus his Oscar speech is pretty neat too (much better than trying push any global warming propaganda or climate agenda)! I'd certainly prefer the award to be given to someone who portrayed a real-life person who did something for the BENEFIT of humanity (curing AIDS), instead of encouraging horrific behavior (ie. wolf of wall street).

I became a BIG fan of his after watching "Sahara" (2005) - such great looks, good manly attitude, and certainly every lady's man! ;)

PS: The movie that subtly INTRODUCED me to him was "Angels in the Outfield."

To give credit, his performance in "BvS" was nothing spectacular, but sure was memorable. It also seemed to give Lex sort of a fresh & new pace I guess. And for many of you out there who don't know, Michael Rosenbaum, who also portrayed Lex Luthor in "Smallville", was also Jewish! Which I think is beyond awesome - they're so smart & innovative!

HOW this band receives so much hate, I really don't know.

Pretty much they're really the only "rock" band left! I mean, how is a "Imagine Dragons" a rock band?? Hardly any of THEIR songs sound like rock to me, just retarded.

In my opinion, he kinda looks quite like Ben Affleck's long-lost cousin. I mean, his profile, his shape, and jaw is almost exactly the same. I like Hutcherson, but I don't like the "Hunger Games". He was better in "Bridge to Terebithia" though
