* no link ='s recently qualified

Rules I've Made Up Along The Way:
1. No animated/computerized/cartoon voice acting stuff counts 2. The actor must have played a major role in the movie, not some two minute cameo. 3. I had to have seen over 90% of the movie UNLESS it was so bad that I turned it off. 4. I must have seen them in at least seven movies that fit rules 1-3.

Near Qualifiers
Dustin Hoffman
Will Ferrell
Heath Ledger

well, i can't "officially" rank them until they qualify (been somewhat main characters in at least 7 movies I've seen) :)

Ed Norton is currently at 6 movies and currently has 4 points. I think he's an awesome actor, especially in 'primal fear'

Paul Giamatti is tough b/c he's been in a lot of movies, but not always as a top tier character. I'd give him credit for 4 movies and about 2 points so far

Thanks for mentioning Ed Harris. I just looked it up and he qualifies (7 movies). I'll have to post about him soon. He may have 6-8 points, or in that range

Gary Oldman I'm not too familiar with. I think he suffers from the fact that he looks quite different in all his movies. So I never realize that he's in stuff. I think I've seen him in 4 movies, but I'm not even sure who he was in them!
