    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
  6. P.S: why there are two Josh Dallas?

    ReplyDelete
  7. I swear there were two before O.o, one with picture and the other one without

    ReplyDelete
  8. Ha, maybe it was in the process of updating or someone voted on it and it moved positions.

    Things go a bit wonky at the starts as lots of people vote at the start

    ReplyDelete
  9. Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles of course!

    ReplyDelete
  10. Simon Baker is the best!

    ReplyDelete

  12. Robert Carlyle. There isn't one scene where his acting isn't perfect!

    ReplyDelete
  13. Colin O'Donoghue... i also like Teddy Sears

    ReplyDelete
  14. Robert Carlyle, Orlando Jones, Colin O'Donoghue, Norman Reedus, Andrew Lincoln, and Peter Dinklage are all fantastic actors, in my opinion.

    ReplyDelete
  15. I noticed Manu Bennett wasn't on the list so I added him

    ReplyDelete
  16. I posted this. Don't know why it says I was a guest.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Bethanie Ann KilburnDecember 15, 2013 at 1:37 AM

    Rupert Friend from Homeland should be on this list. I tried adding him but it seems to have removed him.

    ReplyDelete
  18. robert carlyle, james spader, mads mikkelsen, michael emerson, andrew lincoln

    ReplyDelete
  19. Micheal Emerson, Micheal Weatherly, Norman Redus, Andrew Lincoln, Tom Minson.

    ReplyDelete
  20. Yay at Robert Carlyle at number 2! Who all got my vote along with Jim Caviezel,

    ReplyDelete
  21. My vote goes to Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles. Their acting is just amazing! :)

    ReplyDelete
  22. There is no question, Matt Bomer is the best actor who is currently gracing the US TV screens.

    ReplyDelete
  23. some random new addition in there.. Jay Ryan, Ryan Jay and Beauty & The Beast? lol

    ReplyDelete
  24. nathan fillion always!!!!!!

    ReplyDelete
  25. And Jay Bunyan...it splits the vote

    ReplyDelete
  26. Absolutely question. Just that sadly he's on a cable show that doesn't have a huge audience. But anyone who sees him realizes that he's a cut above the rest.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Matt Bomer from White Collar is unparallel. Close second is Robert Carlyle.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Hmm there is Jay Ryan, Jay Bunyan and Ryan Jay - I think these are all the same person!!!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Jim Parsons, Damian Lewis, Peter Dinklage, Jeff Daniels, Robert Carlyle, Guillermo Diaz, Jack Gleeson, Jeff Perry, Johny Lee Miller, Jim Caviezel, Michael Emerson, James Spader, Eric Stonestreet, Nikolaj Coster-Waldau are a few of the most amazing actors for me..


    I also love Ian Somerhalder, Matt Bomer, Gabriel Macht, Rick Hoffman, Daniel Gillies, Paul Wesley, Joseph Morgan, Nathan Fillion, Patrick Dempsey, Ty Burrell, Justin Chambers, Robin Williams, Simon Helberg, David Giuntoli, Chris Messina, Gabriel Mann though..really good actors!

    ReplyDelete
  30. Is Aaron Paul on the list ?

    ReplyDelete
  31. Come on guys Josh Dallas? Really????

    ReplyDelete
  32. Yes they certainly all are the same person...

    ReplyDelete
  33. SPOILER TV No's 13, 44 & 90 are all the same actor - Jay Ryan, who plays Vincent Keller on Beauty and the Beast 2012. Please fix this up. It's very disadvantageous to this actor - it will split votes unnecessarily.

    ReplyDelete
  34. Should be fixed shortly, thanks.

    ReplyDelete
  35. Thank you very much - that would be really appreciated. :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. it is Jay Ryan

    ReplyDelete
  37. ♥ Kill Your Heroes ♥December 15, 2013 at 9:34 AM

    My vote goes to Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, Misha Collins and David Boreanaz.

    ReplyDelete
  38. I notice you have him in as Jay Bunyan. It really needs to be Jay Ryan as that is his TV name on BATB and the name he is known by. He changed it years ago from Jay Bunyan.

    ReplyDelete
  39. As usual, this is a battle of the fandoms instead of just people voting for who they really like. How else can you explain nearly everyone having more downvotes, sometimes way more, than upvotes? I think it might be better to do these with only upvotes being possible.

    ReplyDelete
  40. Daniel Gillies, Gabriel Mann and Michael Emerson are my favs on this list, but I also pitched in for Shane West, Mark Pellegrino, Robert Carlyle, Stephen Amell, Clarke Gregg, Henry Czerny and others. Downvoted the grossly overrated (in my opinion) Joseph Morgan, who deserves his own show about as much as Gossip Girl deserved a Best Drama Emmy award.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Just the fact that he is in the top twenty despite being on a cable show proves his quality.

    ReplyDelete
  42. Jared Padalecki from " Supernatural " of course ! He's killing it these last two seasons !
    He's amazingly talented and the main reason i watch Supernatural !

    ReplyDelete
  43. Jay Ryan, not Jay Bunyan anymore, please change :)

    ReplyDelete
  44. Unfortunately that is the name defined in the Ranker Database and can't be overridden

    ReplyDelete
  45. Thank you for clarifying

    ReplyDelete
  46. ♥ Kill Your Heroes ♥December 15, 2013 at 10:55 AM

    Wait I missed one. Adding Mark Pellegrino to my votes.

    ReplyDelete
  47. Jensen Ackles of course

    ReplyDelete
  48. Glad to see the Supernatural crew at the top but where is Mark Sheppard? He is great as Crowley.

    ReplyDelete
  49. Robert Carlyle *_* He's the best! Great actor, great character...and hot man :3

    ReplyDelete
  50. Always..Jay Ryan/Bunyan...such a phenomenal actor! #BatB

    ReplyDelete
  51. The question is the best, so my votes are for James Spader, Evan Peters, Kevin Spacey, Timothy Olyphant, Steve Buscemi, Freddie Highmore, Josh Charles, Don Cheadle, Ty Burrell, William H. Macy, Michael Sheen, Jon Voight, Idris Elba and Hugh Dancy.

    ReplyDelete
  52. I had the same question. He may not be on contract but he's in the cast photo so he must count as something.

    ReplyDelete
  53. I added Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman from Sherlock. I voted up for Jensen Ackles, Jared Padalecki, James Spader, Mark Pellegrino, and Matt Bomer.

    ReplyDelete
  54. Jim Caviezel is my number one pick. He his the best, he is such a great actor and person. Then Michael Emerson, Chip Esten, Kevin Spacey, and Tom Mison are also great.

    ReplyDelete
  55. I agree. It would work much better without this insane number of downvotes. Probably why I'm not the biggest fan of the ranks like these.

    ReplyDelete
  56. Just curious why did you use Jay's real name Buyan when most will know him as Jay Ryan?

    ReplyDelete
  57. That's what's stored in the Ranker Database.

    ReplyDelete
  58. I voted for Tim Mison, Misha Collins, Kit Harington, Colin O'Donoghue and Noah Wyle. I don't care how far or low they are on the scale, I just wanna vote cuz I love em ;)

    ReplyDelete
  59. Voted for Misha, Jensen, Jared, Tom, and Orlando! Good luck you talented bastards! <3

    ReplyDelete
  60. My personal favorites are Nikolaj Coster Waldau (GOT), Walton Goggins and Timothy Olyphant (Justified), Michael Sheen (Masters of Sex) and Mads Mikkelsen (Hannibal).

    ReplyDelete
  61. MISHAAA !! <3

    ReplyDelete
  62. Can thumbs down be removed in these polls?

    ReplyDelete
  63. No, they are part of the Ranker Widget.

    ReplyDelete
  64. Isn't it about time then you change your Database? Jay Ryan changed his name years ago and is only known under that name in the US. You should keep your database up to date!

    ReplyDelete
  65. It's NOT our database, It's Rankers.

    ReplyDelete
  66. Jay Ryan/Bunyan! He's such a talented actor. He's portraying a complete other person this season th

    ReplyDelete
  67. I'm a big Supernatural fan, but I'm sorry, the Supernatural guys are not the 3 best actors on this list. Just means there all lots of Supernatural fangirls on here.

    ReplyDelete
  68. The talented Jay Bunyan sive Ryan

    ReplyDelete
  69. Manu Bennett,James Spader and Nathan Fillion how the hell is Jenson so high yeah he is likeable and charismatic but he has zero range.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I know this poll is for actors now but my favourite tv actor of all time is Michael Rosenbaum he was bloody brilliant

    ReplyDelete
  71. Jared, Jensen and Misha of course. Glad to see those guys on top, but surprised to see so many thumbs downs on them too. I realize the fandom is torn about storylines, etc., when it comes to Supernatural, but I've never really gotten a vibe that anyone thought their acting was subpar. Interesting.

    ReplyDelete
  72. Agreed...the best are definitely Matt Bomer, Martin Freeman and Benedict Cumberbatch, not necessarily in this order. Siman Baker deserves a nod, too, even though he always plays basically the same role. Everyone else (I know) is at best good, but not as versatile and impressive as those three.

    ReplyDelete
  73. OK sorry then, thanks for clarifying. Rankers should be up to date then. This is sloppy.

    ReplyDelete
  74. Thank you for taking the time to respond to all the comments! I really appreciate that the people on this website are so good about that!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I can't see him on the list?

    ReplyDelete
  76. That is showing up as Jay Bunyan That isn't he name it is Jay Ryan.

    ReplyDelete
  77. That is the name that is stored in the Ranker Database

    ReplyDelete
  78. Jay Bunyan, better known by his stage name Jay Ryan, is a New Zealand actor who resides in Australia. Wikipedia , could you put something in the comments please. I understand now Thanks

    ReplyDelete
  79. You did have Jay Ryan in the list though so a little confused as to why his name can't be changed. There are many fans who don't know his birth name is Jay Bunyan so this could have a detrimental impact on him. He is widely known and very popular as Jay Ryan.

    ReplyDelete
  80. Those were manually entered and don't have a photo.

    If we use a manually entered one then we will need to delete the existing one and all the existing votes will be removed.

    ReplyDelete
  81. Ah OK that clarifies that one. Jay Bunyan it is then. lol. I suspect there are enough comments here now to "clarify" for those who are unsure. Thanks for your patience. Perhaps we should ALL direct our comments to Rankers!

    ReplyDelete
  82. Someone needs to add Crixus! I mean Slade! I mean Manu Bennett!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Jensen Ackles, Jim Caviezel, Carlyle, Andrew Lincoln, Tennant, Smith

    ReplyDelete
  84. SIMON BAKER for sure!!!

    ReplyDelete
  85. 1.Jensen Ackles, 2. Patriick Dempsey, 3. Paul Wesley

    ReplyDelete
  86. Count me as one of those i think they are good and nothing more

    ReplyDelete
  87. Steve Amell doesn't get enough credit he plays 3 different sides to his character every episode does nearly all his own stunts i mean cmon who else on tv is doing this

    ReplyDelete
  88. Mishaaaaaaa :D
    I'll follow that man wherever he goes.

    ReplyDelete
  89. Michael Emerson, Jim Caviezel, David Boreanaz, Peter Dinklage, and Damian Lewis! Remarkable actors all!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Good to see Robert Carlyle up near the top, he's the reason I still watch OUAT.

    ReplyDelete
  91. Well Misha was in first for a while so that should tell you about the voting

    ReplyDelete
  92. Good thing you're not important and probably like someone stupid like Justin bieber or misha

    ReplyDelete
  93. @mac@Simon Aitken@Sokuter nice

    ReplyDelete
  94. Jensen Ackles, of course :) funny, Misha is #2 even though no one says "Misha Collins for Batman" or "Misha Collins for XYZ movie" not even his fans LOL

    ReplyDelete
  95. Matt Bomer!! Brilliant and underrated actor!

    ReplyDelete
  96. I added Jay Ryan from BATB, didn't realize he was already on as Jay Bunyan. I don't think he uses that name anymore… He needs a pic.

    ReplyDelete
  97. Oooops, sorry, I'm just now reading the comments about Jay Ryan/Bunyan. I always forget to change the Oldest default to Newest…
    As long as he's on the list...

    ReplyDelete
  98. Robert Carlyle ♥♥♥

    ReplyDelete
  99. When does this poll end?

    ReplyDelete
  100. Then what's the sense in it?

    ReplyDelete
  101. For people to rank their favourites and discuss them in the comments

    ReplyDelete
  102. forever and ever? Seems rather....wasteful, but whatever.

    ReplyDelete
  103. It's an opinion poll. She and everyone else are entitled to their opinion. Personally, I agree with her opinions. I'm sure many would also agree with my opinion that you are a jagaloon.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I think he is god awful

    ReplyDelete
  105. Yes thank you and no Paul Blackthorne he has been awesome this year
