[Emperor]

Hanks: 4

Nicholson: 6

 

I am leaving voting open until noon eastern standard.

[Tessandra]

Well it doesn't look closed and it can't hurt if there's an extra vote...

 

Hanks.

[Barmacral]

Noon eastern standard is all well and good, but it helps to indicate a day too.

[Emperor]

Bah, I got distracted at work.. and then the weekend...

 

Nicholson wins and moves to the finals.

 

Last up in the semi-finals....

 

 

Ed Norton

 

vs.

 

Harrison Ford

[SinisterDeath]

Chuck Norris

 

WAit.... wrong thread....

Ford because he'll  lose. :P

[Majsju]

Norton

[Whitestar]

Ford

[Emperor]

Ford has a more impressive body of work so far.  I think Norton has more depth though.

[Cadsuane]

Han and Indy can only take you so far. Norton.

[Emperor]

Agreed.... off the top of your head, name two famous Norton characters?

 

*g*

 

Ford was also in Blade Runner, The Fugitive, American Graffiti, Patriot Games, Working Girl and Apocolypse Down. 

 

Primal Fear, Fight Club and American History X are the only great movies Norton has done.  I will even throw in Rounders because it is one of my favorites.  Norton is not in the same league as Ford yet. 

[Majsju]

And here I thought the thread was about the talent of the actor, not how many big movies he's been in...I mean, Bruce willis was in Pulp Fiction, that doesn't mean he can act, if you get  my meaning.

[Barmacral]

Norton because Ford should have lost last round.

[Cadsuane]

Well, as I've said before, it is "Favorite" Actor, not "Best" Actor. However, those are often the same. In other cases, a person's favorite is, yes, decided by the number of films in which the person has appeared that the voter liked, and having a larger number of popular films under your belt would increase the voter's likelihood of voting for you. In this case, Ford HAS had more films, but I think Norton is a more interesting and talented actor, even for his lesser experience so far.

[Emperor]

Ford: 3

Norton: 3

[Silver]

hmm, I'm not that a big fan of either of them but of the two I'll pick Norton

[MsDanya]

I like [glow=red,2,300]Ford[/glow]!  ;D

[ironcross]

i have to say that i relly like both these guys.  norton was awsome in the illusionist, but i have to say that i just like ford somuch better.  i know he will probly lose anyway but ford takes it for me

[Emperor]

Ford takes the lead.  I will leave the voting up until 1pm today.

[SinisterDeath]

Can I change my vote?  ;D

[Emperor]

Sure!

[SinisterDeath]

Sure!

 

Then I change my vote from ford to Norton. (My vote for ford was a pitty vote that wasn't needed :P)

[chelseafan]

Ford ;)

[Emperor]

Huh... I thought I posted. 

 

Sinister's switch moves Norton out ahead.  The last Ford vote came in after the cutoff and therefore Norton wins.

 

Final Matchup: (and I didn't see this one coming)

 

Ed Norton

 

vs.

 

Jack Nicholson
