Personally I don't think Kimble should count - he was disguised as a janitor for like a minute.

I think it was longer than that, but I take your point even though he was performing clean up duties, he wasn't officially employed and only posing as a janitor to get access to the hospital records. I have removed him.

Harrison Ford as janitor-surgeon Dr. Richard Kimble in The Fugitive

1994 Awards:

National Clean Up Day is September 16, 2023. Almost two million US volunteers and 21 million globally for World CleanUp Day. Held annually on the Third Saturday in September. What would happen if everyone picked up at least one piece of litter on National CleanUp Day

I split the polling into two versions, one for actors and another for actresses. The Actresses Who Clean Up During Award Season is poll ready.
