I thought this would be easier than the actresses list, but as I started jotting actors who came to mind, it turned out I could probably list a top 50 without much effort. After whittling them down, it seems hard to believe who didn't make the the cut (John Garfield, Errol Flynn and Danny Kaye among others).
The Top 10 are in order with the rest in no particular order. Favorites are listed as well.
- James Stewart (Harvey, The Naked Spur, The Shop Around the Corner)
- Cary Grant (His Girl Friday, My Favorite Wife, North by Northwest)
- Humphrey Bogart (The Maltese Falcon, Casablanca, Treasure of the Sierra Madre)
