Below is a list of LU's Favourite Actors from 50 down to 1 and the movies they have starred in compared to LU's Favourite Movies from a few months ago.
I am "happy" to report that there is little correlation between these two lists. Out of the 50 actors, only 24 had one or more movies in the Top 40 list. The favourite actor, Leonardo Di Caprio did not have a movie in that list but still managed first place. :shock:
The actors that fared best were Tom Hanks, Ian McKellen and Harrison Ford with three Top 40 movies each while Al Pacino, Brad Pitt and Mel Gibson had two apiece.
The most represented movie in the actor's list was The Dark Knight with four actors. It was followed by The Godfather 2, Fight Club, Inglorious Basterds, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang and Pulp Fiction with two each.
