On this list are the coolest actors and characters they have played (at least some of them). These are not best performances, best actors, best characters etc. Also I tried not to be very subjective (although you can't escape from that), so these are not my favorite performances, actors, characters... just cool.
Also, there is character's coolest line (IMO) next to his picture. If he is quiet fella or non-English speaker, I tried not to do him injustice, so I putted some cool gesture or something like that.
Oh yeah, list is open for suggestions.
One rule: 1 actor - 1 character.
