I think you meant Ian Holm.  If so, that's my pick, because I like Bilbo, and I don't know who the other guy is  ;D

Damn, that's not an easy question. Altho, I have no idea what Ian Holm did in his life outside of LOTR so I voted for Cox.

I remember him mainly from Alien and Fifth Element.

Oh and I voted Holm

I just found the first thing I like more about this forum, you can view results and then go back and vote with this poll.

Damn, that's tough.  I might give it to Holm by an inch.

BTW:  Here's some actor-related news that blew my mind:  Harvey Keitel is going to be 70 years old in a couple of months.

Neither even comes remotely close to Brian Blessed

Meh. Blessed got tainted by being in Star Wars: Episode I. That had to have knocked a few coolness points away.

But he was Caesar Augustus in 'I, Claudius'. Nothing beats being cool both with and without a beard.

Between Cox and Holm I vote Holm.

What's with the Anglophilia?

Derek Jacobi should have been on the list, but in his absence chose Holm.

Also: gay.

Holm's acting has been summarized with the words: "Anything you can do, I can do less of."

I vote Holm.
