Live Poll: Actors' Career Years

What is a career year? Well, take 1995 for instance: that was quite a year for Kevin Spacey: three movies, including two iconic roles that made him a star: Se7en (1995), The Usual Suspects (1995) and (to a lesser degree) Outbreak (1995).

Here is a similar list of actor' "3-set of major performances from the same year", which one do you think had the most impressive year?

The list was created in 2014, can you believe it?

By the way, feel free to suggest another wording for the title

Thanks. Maybe you should add spaces or some punctuation to separate the movie titles, so it looks good in poll format.

What a great poll! I swear, ElMo, I think that your brain, along with its many other attributes, is a great-poll factory. : )  

I know you mention Spacey in the intro; are you going to include him in the list, as well? I'm not sure but he may get my vote -- wow, what a year.

May I suggest three small edits to the (very good) intro? (in bold below: one is just a typo and the other two are my punctuation-nerd suggestions, one of which is a widely unknown rule about no more than one colon in the same sentence)

Thanks, ruby for all these kind words. This is a poll created in 2014, which was certainly the peak of my inspiration (polls revival helping). Not sure I will have time to add all the options for tomorrow but if this poll could stary on the shelf for 7 years, it can wait a few days more...

I added most of your suggestions, thanks.

Kevin Spacey (despite his reputation now) would win by a landslide, two iconic characters in one year, I better acknowledge the achievement and mention it in the intro but keep it out of competition:)

Please change "Poll Suggestion" to "Live Poll" in the discussion thread title and change the settings so that it appears under "Praise" now, rather than "Idea."

Yep, watching the results right now, I know I did the right choice by removing Kevin Spacey, he would have destroyed the poll lol
