RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Wichita Lineman - 05-12-2021 I'm going to suspend quarter final voting now as i have a bit of work to do before I set up the semi finalists to be voted on and if I leave voting open the outcomes could change and I'd have to do extra work. _____________________________________________________________________ QUARTER FINAL VOTING CLOSED / SEMI FINAL INFO WILL BE POSTED LATE TONIGHT OR EARLY TOMORROW _______________________________________________________________________ RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Wichita Lineman - 06-12-2021 Quarter final results - Robin Williams 11 - 5 Samuel L. Jackson Tom Hanks *9 - 8 Robert De Niro James Stewart 6 - 10 Robert Downey Jr Paul Newman 6 - 10 Alan Rickman Robin Williams was truly a comic genius and I'm more than happy to have him in the semifinals of this prestigious FOG event. The Tom Hanks / Robert De Niro casting vote genuinely took me over an hour to make and I'm still not sure I've gone the right way. In the end the deciding factor was if I was to meet one of them in person who would it be and I chose Tom. I'm so pleased that James Stewart made it this far. It's a bit like Dan Walker on this years Strictly you know he shouldnt be there but you can still be happy for him. Robert Downey Jr's progress has really surprised me but the more you think of it the better he seems to be. I thought Paul Newman was going to just shade this one and he even raced into a 4-0 lead before being clawed back by the very talented Alan Rickman. So the semi-final line up is: Tom Hanks Robin Williams =============================================================================================================================================================== Robert Downey Jr Alan Rickman =============================================================================================================================================================== I have a few things on tomorrow into the early evening so I might as well leave this open for voting all day. Then I have a few bits to do for the Grand Final once you have decided who is in it. ===================================================== RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - ari101 - 06-12-2021 Robin Williams Alan Rickman RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Zaph - 06-12-2021 Abstain - Robin Williams is fine, but that's it really. I wouldn't turn off one of his films, but I wouldn't go out of my way to watch one either. And I think I'm possibly the only person in the world who doesn't like Tom Hanks. Imo he pretty much plays the same character in every film, Tom Hanks. Seems like a nice guy, but completely overrated as an actor.

Robert Downey Jr's progress has really surprised me but the more you think of it the better he seems to be. I wholly disagree with this. He was one of the biggest and best stars of his era and totally deserved to be there, if not further. Newman too. So are we just voting for our favourite 2 out of the 4 or is there a playoff in pairs?

RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Necro - 06-12-2021 Tom Hanks Alan Rickman None of the four would be anywhere near my own thoughts for best actor but Shure that's weird ass FoG democracy for ya RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Wichita Lineman - 06-12-2021 RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Trigger - 06-12-2021 This reminds me of the 2004 Euros Tom Hanks Alan Rickman RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Declan A Walsh - 06-12-2021 Tom Hanks v Robin Williams - Great to see both getting this far, but Robin deserves to be in the final much more than Tom. I know I voted for Tom a few times along the way, but I think he was lucky to even get to here - it was a case of who he was up against at each match. Robin is rightly recognoised as a comic genius, but it is often forgotten what a brilliant acting talent that he was. Robert Downey Jr. v Alan Rickman - Both are good actors, but I don't think Robert should be still here at this stage. Alan is a great actor. He is the dark horse here and I am surprised he got this far.

Given the way a lot of my other favourite actors were knocked out I was amazed he got this far. I suspect that it's just been much longer (for me anyway) since I've seen a Paul Newman or James Stewart film. I think the 3 x 3 grid pictures of work above was very helpful remembering some of the stuff they've done. RE: FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever. - Irish Aris - 06-12-2021 Tom Hanks Alan Rickman First one I nominated both but I am a big fan of Tom Hanks.
