Al’s Top Rated Actors of All Time

by pounds-alan | created - 16 Jul 2021 | updated - 1 day ago | Public

Below is a list of my favorite actors of all-time, ranked from my favorite to least favorite. This includes film only (no TV series). I’ve used a mathematical equation of “star points” that I’ve determined was the best system to figure out how I should order my list. I count up all the movies I’ve seen by the actor, then add up all the star-ratings for each title. I add “bonus star points” for titles that I give 10-stars (+5) or 9-stars (+3) to. If the actor only has a smaller but important role in the film, I will divide the star-rating in half. If the actor has a very small part, I will divide the star-rating by three (rounding down in both instances), or disregard the title altogether if I don’t feel it’s worthy of being listed. I WILL KEEP THIS LIST UPDATED AS I SEE MORE MOVIES. Enjoy!
