The&nbsp;best actors in film history are a great subject of debate. These are the greatest actors ever to appear on the silver screen - male only (to vote on both genders, check out this list of <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time">the greatest film actors and actresses</a>). These gentlemen were part of some of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-best-movies-of-all-time">greatest movies of all time</a> (or were perhaps the reason they were the best movies ever), with countless <a href="http://www.ranker.com/tags/Oscars">Academy Awards</a> between them.

What are the qualities of the best actors of all time? Remember, this is not simply about the most famous actors of all time, or the most popular actors. Is it the raw emotion they show, the parts they choose, their acting methods, or simply their effortless charm and charisma? There&#39;s no denying some of these amazing actors belong on the list of the <a href="http://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/hottest-male-celebrities">hottest male celebrities</a>, but behind the 1000 watt smiles lies the talent that defines generations of top actors. An argument could be made for some on this list that they are the best actor in the world.

Who is the best actor of all time? Is it a classic actor like Marlon Brando, a comedic genius like Charlie Chaplin, a double-threat like Clint Eastwood, or a method actor like Daniel Day Lewis? There are so many choices for the greatest movie actor ever that you may have a hard time picking just one. Good thing you can vote for as many candidates for best actors ever as you&#39;d like. Then check back to see if your favorites have made it into the top ten actors.&nbsp;

There are more celebrity&nbsp;cameos in Star Wars&nbsp;than there are droids in&nbsp;Attack of the Clones. Okay, maybe not&nbsp;that&nbsp;many, but the sheer number of celebrities who appeared in Star Wars films could form a small but surprisingly famous Rebel Alliance. Since the original&nbsp;Star Wars&nbsp;never intended to become a phenomenon, the first trilogy features few, if any,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/hidden-celebrity-cameos-you-missed/nathan-gibson" target="_blank">Star Wars&nbsp;celebrity cameos</a>.

George Lucas appears to be a rather generous fellow, letting not just actors make appearances in&nbsp;Star Wars,&nbsp;but also his film crew, their family members, and even Lucas&#39;s own son and daughters. By the time The Last Jedi&nbsp;arrived in December&nbsp;2017, celebrity cameos in <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/stormtrooper-cameos-sw-universe/tyler-mitchell" target="_blank">Star Wars reached royal levels of celebrity</a>.

This list of the most overrated actors of all time, has been ranked by critics and fans from all over the world. Actors are seen as the face of the movies, television, and other media products in which they star. Hollywood <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/the-greatest-film-actors-and-actresses-of-all-time?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">actors and actresses</a> have become like gods to many people around the globe, and they are worshiped with praise, money, awards, and gifts.

However, many of the actors receiving the most accolades are extremely overrated in their raw talent, charisma, and chemistry with other actors. Some believe that overrated male actors, like Tom Cruise and Will Smith, bring in the big box office bucks, but have little to no acting range and often phone in their performances.

Many of the actors who get the most praise gave one or two great performances, but then rested on their laurels for the rest of their careers. Others are pretty good actors, but nowhere near as talented as the overwhelming praise they receive. Even more overrated celebrities&nbsp;have no talent at all, but are famous because of their looks and personality. Bottom line: some of the actors and actresses from classic movies aren&rsquo;t as gifted as many claim.

Who are the most overrated actors and actresses? This list features current and old Hollywood actors who are rated far more highly then they deserve (for their acting skills). Make your opinions heard by voting below!&nbsp;

Chuck Norris may have earned his own custom line of jokes regarding his supposed superhuman qualities, but legends <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/little-known-bruce-lee-facts/philgibbons?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">about Bruce Lee</a> have been kicking butt for much longer. And considering the Bruce Lee real story proves many of his legendary feats have a solid base in reality, consider that another knockout for Lee. Although rumors about playing ping pong with nunchucks and snatching rice out of the air using chopsticks may not be true, <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/little-known-bruce-lee-facts/philgibbons" target="_blank">Bruce Lee facts</a> include an astonishing record of physical feats, endurance, and stories about his amazing achievements.

When his legends blended into the Bruce Lee true story, epic myths about a near-superhuman man emerged. His devotion to training both his mind and body led him to master power and strength that seem wild to everyone else. Lee&#39;s study of philosophy also helped grow his myth, as people consistently attribute wise quotes and sage advice to the<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/the-best-martial-art-movies/all-genre-movies-lists" target="_blank"> martial arts</a> master. When he passed at age 32, he was just becoming a star in the US, having already gained a huge amount of popularity overseas. Perhaps because his life was so short and the world never got to see him as an old man saddled with age like the rest of humanity, legends about Lee remain strong. He will always be young and strong in fans&#39; eyes, and the legends he created will remain unchallenged by time. Could Lee really send a man flying with only a one inch movement of his fist or knock someone out in a matter of seconds? While the legends say yes, the truth may surprise you.

Doing What Actors Do

Portraying a real person in a movie can create a good amount of pressure for actors, but that pressure is even more intense when the person they&#39;re portraying is literally sitting there on the set watching them. Some actors are cast in biopics about living people because there&#39;s a physical resemblance, especially when <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/best-pictures-of-actors-and-people-they-played-in-biopics/hoserusc" target="_blank">viewed side by side</a>. Others are cast due to their abilities as an actor, dancer, or singer. But either way, actors playing living or very-recently-living public figures are faced with the added dilemma of choosing between doing a direct impression of that person or doing some interpretation of their essence, and either one of those choices can be extremely difficult if they&#39;re &#39;pretending&#39; to be a living legend.

Plus, if they don&#39;t do a great job, they&#39;ll have to hear about it from the literal person they&#39;re pretending to be. It&#39;s not something that actors playing Batman or <a class="edS-cl" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/harry-potter-characters?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">Harry Potter characters</a> will ever have to deal with.
