Peter Sellers

Gary Oldman
Steve Buscemi
Robert Carlyle
Sean Penn
Clint Eastwood
Christopher Walken

Samuel L. Jackson

Thanks to anyone who finds the time to do this.

Christopher Walken? That name rings a bell...

I think he was very good in Mousetrap, where he played the wierd exterminator, trying to catch the mouse in the place. If you haven't seen it, I shan't give the plot away. He was in another film but I can't remember what it was called...

Re: Best perfomance by these actors?

* Why am I doing this? *


Peter Sellers: very hard choice here, but I love The Pink Panther saga
Marlon Brando: The Godfather
Robert De Niro: another hard one, Taxi Driver is a cult though.
Tim Roth: I don't care.
Gary Oldman: Dracula
Steve Buscemi: The Big Lebowski
Robert Carlyle: The Full Monty
Sean Penn: Can't be bothered
Clint Eastwood: His acting is pretty much the same in every damn movie, so I'd say the ones by Sergio Leone
Christopher Walken: I love his set of teeth on Sleepy Hollow
Morgan Freeman: Seven
Samuel L. Jackson: Pulp Fiction. He's also a great Jedi Master anyway!

Re: Best perfomance by these actors?

Hmm, Unforgiven seems to be the top choice for Ol' Clint, though I don't know why.
