lol @ 3 out of 4 for Morgan Freeman, and 4 out of 4 for S-L Jackson and Michael Caine. Not surprising, though.

@NYVKE​ Yes, so it's in the detail what people really want, including the consideration of the position we've put these guys. I'm really curious about results, expecially because of the doubelings, trippelings. I really want to know, when there are some people on many lists, which list will rise or fall, because of the other guys.

@Breumaster Suggested rewrite: Intro: The Poll Board Members have made up their minds about the acting actors in supporting roles. Some of these actors act perform in leading roles, but see no flaw fault in also taking on supporting roles. Others do of them are primarily acting work in supporting roles. Which of these lists mostly fits to most closely matches your own favorites? Please tell us here.

Note the words act and acting were in there so many times I replaced some of them w/ some synonyms so it reads better.

@Breumaster​ keep debating if I should replace Lorre with Ernest Borgnine or Lee Marvin, but then I'd question that and come up with more actors, and drive myself crazy

@riverotter​ Both are cool actors. I wouldn't know which to take. Maybe Borgnine? I always liked to see him, because of his strong and unique face with the tooth gap. Lee Marvin was also cool, but I don't like his roles, because he often was smoking and I don't like that.

The appeal of it is making a choice. I was also thinking of Lee van Cleef Bolo Yeung James Finlayson (the guywho always had a stern look on Laurel and Hardy in the Laurel and Hardy movies) George Takei Anton Yelchin Colin Firth Colin Farrell Brendan Gleeson Casey Affleck Very strong: Chris Cooper I also like Wes Bentley Ethan Suplee Elliot Gould Brian Dennehy Richard Crenna Carl Weathers Gary Busey Ted Danson Fred Gwynne Michael Ironside Neil Patrick Harris Clacy Brown Scott Glenn ... and I could name you another few dozend if you ask me. ;)

Michael Caine options have a clear sympathy bonus, so many of you chose it. That's totally ok. I altered my own list a little for offering a more diverse alternative. And I really remembered some pretty good supporting actors inbetween. I'm ok with it if you also want to change your lists, because memory sometimes workes slowly. That's just an option. Don't feel shy.
