Obviously, Raffaello. He is one of the few people we can instantly recognize by the first name. I do get a bit offended if he doesn't get at least 90% of the votes.

PS: The ninja turtle is named after him.

Yeah, Raf was a poll author and poll admin and a very good one -- and a really nice guy. Those were in "the good ol' days," lol, when the poll board was right on IMDb and polls would get a lot more votes. : )

Jess,

The first Rafael that comes to my mind is Rafael_M. Sadly, outside of the IMDb Poll Community, he is probably not famous.

2nd Choice: Raphael (Raffaello Sanzio), Italian painter

Dan,

That's why I added a "None of the above" option. :)

@dan_dassow​ yes he is in the IMDb community! Raphael was a small but memorable part in “The Agony and the Estasy”. He asks Michealanglo when he is going to finish the Sistine chapel ceiling. Then he defines what an artist was at that time and their need to create. I pretty sure this is the role from that film as he was played by Tomas Milian at the film when the final finished ceiling was blessed and unveiled at the end of the film. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0058886/mediaviewer/rm1457176321
