All I can say is I'm glad I'm not betting on the outcomes of any of these. You just never know. Just noticed Mr & Mrs Matthew Broderick are both in this next one. Not against each other but could have been. ----------------------------------------- Helen Mirren 5 v 8 Bryan Cranston Woody Harrelson 10 v 4 Emma Stone William Hurt 5 v 9 Ryan Gosling Michelle Williams 5 v 9 Nicole Kidman ----------------------------------------- Round 1 - Matches 153 - 156 Jodie Comer - She got the call to audition for Killing Eve (2018) while nursing a hangover, following a party night with friends at a music festival in Barcelona. Despite feeling that she had little chances, she took the 13-hour flight to Los Angeles anyway. After five minutes in reading with Sandra Oh, she landed the part. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm3069650/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Sissy Spacek - According to her commentary on the DVD of Coal Miner's Daughter (1980), she initially aspired to be a singer and auditioned for Decca Records. The label liked her but told her she was too similar to another artist they had on their label. That artist was Loretta Lynn. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000651/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ------------------------------------------------------------------ Colin Farrell - His idol Al Pacino called him "the best actor of his generation." https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0268199/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Sarah Jessica Parker - Attended the School for the Creative and Performing Arts (SCPA) in Cincinnati with Rocky Carroll (Vance of NCIS). https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000572/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ---------------------------------------------------------------- Guy Pearce - [on playing roles with a different accent] I don't look at it as hiding my accent, I look at it as putting on another accent. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001602/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 James Cagney - Often left the set early claiming he was too ill to continue filming in order to ensure an extra day of filming so that the extras and the film crew, whom he thought woefully underpaid, could get an additional day's salary. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000010/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory Peck - Marched with Martin Luther King. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000060/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Matthew Broderick - Quote - "I acquired fame by playing the coolest kid who ever lived. Now, the only roles I can seem to get are bleak, insecure men. I do find almost every character I play quite interesting, though." https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000111/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ========================================= Voting on post 38 remains open for at least 3 hours / until post 39 arrives. ========================================== ----------------------------------------- Jodie Comer v Sissy Spacek Colin Farrell v Sarah Jessica Parker Guy Pearce v James Cagney Gregory Peck v Matthew Broderick ----------------------------------------- RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Necro - 08-11-2021 Colin Farrell Matthew Broderick - that was not an easy choice though.

Understandable given her age but disappointed to see Jodie Comer bow out already. Also stunned to see James Cagney eliminated at the first hurdle. 2. There's a good spread of eras covered. Who knows what way it will go. Not me anyway. ------------------------------------------------------------ Results: Jodie Comer 3 v 4 Sissy Spacek Colin Farrell 6 v 2 Sarah Jessica Parker Guy Pearce 4 v 3 James Cagney Gregory Peck 7 v 1 Matthew Broderick --------------------------------------------------- Round 1 - Matches 157 - 160 Andrew Scott - According to his podcast interview on Elizabeth Day's How to Fail, Scott flunked out of Trinity College Dublin his first year for too many absences, but did not know it and showed up the first day of his second year only to be told to go home. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0778831/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Katharine Ross - Always horse crazy as a youngster spending every possible minute with them. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001684/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ------------------------------------------- Buster Keaton - Unlike many silent movie stars, Buster was eager to go into sound considering he had a fine baritone voice with no speech impediments and years of stage experience, so dialogue was not a problem. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000036/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Humphrey Bogart - Although usually considered a quiet and accommodating actor by most of his collaborators, he became disliked by William Holden and Billy Wilder during the filming of Sabrina (1954). https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000007/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ---------------------------------------------------- Emma Roberts - Has a phobia of flying. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0731075/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Diane Keaton - Among the things she treasures is a tile from James Stewart 's house, which she took when it was being demolished. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000473/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 ----------------------------------------------------------- John Goodman - Was the first guest on Late Night with Conan O'Brien (1993) when the show premiered on September 13, 1993. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000422/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 Jude Law - He was cast to play Clark Kent/Superman in a Batman vs Superman film in 2001 that was to be directed by Wolfgang Petersen and starred Colin Farrell as Bruce Wayne/Batman but it was never made. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000179/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0 --------------------------------------------------------- ========================================= Voting on post 39 remains open for at least 3 hours / until post 40 arrives. ========================================== ----------------------------------------- Andrew Scott v Katharine Ross Buster Keaton v Humphrey Bogart Emma Roberts v Diane Keaton John Goodman v Jude Law ----------------------------------------- RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Zaph - 08-11-2021 Andrew Scott Buster Keaton Diane Keaton John Goodman RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Kol - 08-11-2021 Katharine Ross Humphrey Bogart - Possibly my favourite actor ever, in top 3 anyway. Diane Keaton - Tough draw for Emma, I like her also but Diane has to go further. John Goodman - Another tough call. RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - RSOAPS - 08-11-2021 Andrew Scott Humphrey Bogart Emma Roberts John Goodman RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Neowise - 08-11-2021 Jude Law RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - quickbeam - 08-11-2021 Andrew Scott v Katharine Ross - tough choice. I do love Butch & Sundance, and The Graduate is iconic, and even recent work like Donnie Darko was good. But then, Scott is also so great. Buster Keaton v Humphrey Bogart - an awful cruel round! I have to go for Keaton though for his stunt work and absolute genius. Emma Roberts v Diane Keaton - la-de-da! John Goodman v Jude Law - my spreadsheet has them neck and neck, but Law just in more films I've rated highly.
