Get ready for the manliest list ever:

Toshiro Mifune (87.5, 15)
Chia Hui Liu aka Gordon Liu (87.31, 13)
Tatsuya Nakadai (86.82, 11)
Sammo Hung (83.81, 21)
Chow Yun Fat (81.50, 10)
Yuen Biao (80.59, 17)
Donnie Yen (78.67, 15)
Ian Holm (77.73, 11)
Lee Marvin (77.0, 15)
Charles Bronson (76.67, 12)

The 5 of the top 7 are kung fu stars and the other 2 are samurai movie stars :P

Also of note, you've got to go all the way down to slot #8 to find a non Asian actor...and then it's...Ian Holm? Weird.

At least Marvin and Bronson made the cut. :)

1. Al Pacino - 75.46 - 13
2. Philip Seymour Hoffman - 74.91 - 22
3. Alec Guinness - 74.27 - 11
4. Emily Watson - 74.00 - 11
5. Bill Murray - 71.85 - 276
6. Robert De Niro - 71.23 - 22

8. Sigourney Weaver - 70.00 - 14
9. Frances McDormand - 69.91 - 11
10. Jack Nicholson - 69.64 - 11

I did make one exception. Top of my list with a minimum of 10 films is actually John Ratzenberger with 81.58 from 12 films. They are all voice acting however and some are minor roles. I like his work voice acting a lot, but it just didn't seem right putting him on the list.

This must be due to Lars von Trier and your strict avoidance of all the trash he's been in.

These are mine with a 3-way tie for 10th
Takashi Shimura (87.10, 10)
Toshirô Mifune (86.73, 15)
Tatsuya Nakadai (86.53, 15)
Edmond O'Brien (86.00, 10)

However, averages calculated this way make no sense. They should be calculated by averaging Tier Points like how PSIs are.
I have written about this here - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=2654&p=26529


Okay, so let's try that:
Actor - (Avg. Score / Avg. Tier) - #
John Cusack - (92.30 / 8.50) - 10
Bruce Willis - (84.80 / 7.10) - 10
Tim Robbins - (80.10 / 6.90) - 10
Bill Murray - (83.08 / 7.00) - 12
Joan Cusack - (81.64 / 6.73) - 11 (from Toy Story 2 to Toys)
Steve Buscemi - (81.80 / 6.60) - 10
Brad Pitt - (83.44 / 6.56) - 16
Winona Ryder - (82.90 / 6.20) - 10
Geoffrey Rush - (79.30 / 5.90) - 10
Gene Hackman - (82.40 / 5.80) - 10

Bruce Willis, Tim Robbins and Geoffrey Rush all qualified through movies seen in the last week. Man, I'm such a child of the 80s/young adult of the 90s.

Bottom of the list:
Arnold Schwarzenegger - (70.50 / 4.5) - 10 (The Long Goodbye!)
Robert De Niro - (64.75 / 4.13) - 16
Tom Cruise - (61.64 / 3.82) - 11
Julia Roberts - (60.36 / 3.57) - 14
Robin Williams - (53.79 / 3.50) - 14

Harrison Ford 78.71 (14)
Robert De Niro 78.55 (20)

Ian Holm 76.75 (12)
Al Pacino 75.60 (15)
Brad Pitt 75.38 (16)
Willem Dafoe 75.08 (12)

Bottom 10:

John Travolta 47.36 (11)
Adam Sandler 50.64 (14)
Arnold Schwarzenegger 51.71 (17)
Sylvester Stallone 52.75 (20)

Frank Welker 55.20 (20)
Ben Affleck 56.36 (11)
Don Cheadle 57.50 (10)
John Turturro 58.70 (10) -- Transformers and Mr. Deeds have really done a number on him
Val Kilmer 61.50 (10)
