FOG Academy - Greatest Actor Ever.

[Wichita Lineman]

Hi all, was out for most of the day so couldnt get any groups up. 

I was very impressed with Ana de Armas in the Bond movie 'No Time To Die' but it wasnt enough for her against a very popular Summer Glau. Lauren Bacall squeezes by Steve Martin in a tight finish and Tim Robbins gets in with a difficult to pick casting vote. 

Here we are with the final batch for Round 1. It just happened that the final slot in the draw went to Stan Laurel & Oliver Hardy as the only duo selected. I just couldnt split them up! 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Results:
Samuel L. Jackson 13 v 1 Richard Widmark
Tim Robbins 8* v 7 Christian Slater
Ana de Armas 5 v 9 Summer Glau
Lauren Bacall 7 v 6 Steve Martin

Round 1 - Matches 253 - 256

Finn Wolfhard - His first role was in the 2013 independent film Aftermath. After appearing in more independent films such as The Resurrection, Wolfhard moved into roles on television shows The 100 and Supernatural.

Spencer Tracy - Warner Bros. bought the rights to the book "Mute Witness", about a Boston detective who ate a lot of ice cream and never solved a case, with Tracy in mind to star. Upon his death, a chase scene was added to the script, the location changed to San Francisco, and the character--Detective Frank Bullitt--changed to be played by Steve McQueen. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000075/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_0
---------------------------------------
Keanu Reeves - Could have been a professional ice hockey player for the Canadian League, could have tried out for the Windsor Spitfires Ontario Hockey League, but set his heart on acting, leaving hockey as a hobby.

Stan Laurel / Oliver Hardy - Throughout their association with Hal Roach, L&H had separate contracts, with Stan's salary being considerably higher than Hardy's. This didn't bother Hardy one bit, as he acknowledged that Stan did much more than he during the making of their films. https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0491048/?ref..._=tt_ov_st
