[Show spoiler]

So:

The late Anna Karina

Irène Jacob or Julie Delpy

Julie Delpy

Vincent Price or Joseph Cotten

As much as I appreciated the former's works on many B films including "House of Wax" & "The Fly", the latter had a much more stronger body of work including: "Citizen Kane", "Shadow of a Doubt" & "The Third Man" to name a few. So:

Joseph Cotten

Robert Ryan or William Holden

Robert Ryan

Richard Farnsworth or Harry Dean Stanton

Some underrated character actors and as much as I loved the former's work on "The Straight Story", the latter appeared in so many of my favorites including "Alien", "Repo Man" & "Paris Texas" to name a few. So:

Harry Dean Stanton

Richard Conte or Lee J. Cobb

Matt Damon

James Dean or John Cazale

Two actors that had their career cut short due to unforeseen tragic cirumstances, as much as Dean had some memorable roles in "Rebel Without A Cause" & "Giant", I was more fond of the films Cazale appeared in during the 70's. So:

John Cazale

Hope Davis or Parker Posey

Hope Davis

Breckin Meyer or Seth Green

Interesting choices as both actors despite appearing on features primarily have had more of a career on television than film. I suppose I lean towards the latter due to his work in "Family Guy" & "Robot Chicken". So:

Seth Green

Cary Grant or James Stewart

Some great underappreciated character actors mainly relegated in supporting roles. As much as I appreciated the former in his portrayal of Jim Gordon, I was always fond of the works the latter appeared in primarily in Westerns. So:

Strother Martin

Grace Kelly or Audrey Hepburn
