The Top Ten

1 Jim Carrey Jim Carrey James Eugene "Jim" Carrey is a Canadian American actor, comedian, impressionist, screenwriter, and producer. He is well known for comedic roles in films such as Ace Ventura: Pet Detective, The Mask , Dumb and Dumber, Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, The Cable Guy, Liar Liar, How the Grinch Stole Christmas, ...read more.

Jim Carrey is very talented at what he does. It is acting, but only one form. It's a very bodily type of acting and humour. He has gone a long way from sleeping in his car.

He's the only well known actor on this list! But he is the best. He's the funniest actor (along with Adam Sandler) ever.

Jim Carrey would be a great voice for Ganondorf - especially if he gave Ganondorf the same voice as Disney's version of Ebenezer Scrooge.

Jim Carrey I think has a great and hilarious personality, his roles will make you laugh ( for sure) and his just very strange

2 Keanu Reeves Keanu Reeves

Good looking and a great actor! I have enjoyed most of the movies that he has acted in. No need to worry that this guy isn't playing his love scenes straight. Great to watch him in action and just as wonderful to watch his more verbal roles.

Good looking, and he can act.

Shut up Reeves and get off my screen

3 Christopher Plummer Christopher Plummer

He is number one; and it's completely plausible.

There is no way Dan deserves to be 17. I strongly think he should've made the top five. - BKAllmighty

Again, long live Michael! -

Long live Michael!

9 Mike Myers

Mike Myers HAS TO BE RANKED HIGHER! HAVE YOU SEEN THE AUSTIN POWERS TRILOGY!?!? WHAT ABOUT SO I MARRIED AN AXE MURDERER!?!? OR INGLORIOUS BASTARDS!?!? - Jetticus12

Wayne's world? Austin Powers? Even inglorious basterds was great... He was an acting genius!

Mike Meyers would be great voice acting Dr. Neo Cortex whereas Cortex has the same voice as Shrek.

10 Kiefer Sutherland Kiefer Sutherland

He's awesome in 24. It really takes a great actor to convincingly play a man who both interrogates terrorists and has a soft, human side (esp. when Bauer had to cradle his dead wife).

He was awesome in 24. I mostly like the way he always shouts damn it. But he is the best actor of all time.

The Contenders

11 John Candy John Candy John Franklin Candy was a Canadian actor and comedian, mainly in American films such as Planes, Trains and Automobiles and Uncle Buck.
