Alpha-mugs


Here's some of my favorite cinematic faces alphabetically. The "best film" notation refers to what is both critically and popularly considered the finest film the actor has worked in. "Personal favorite" represents my own choice of the actor's best role. And lastly, "Craziest" means the most absurd role or movie (or both) in which the actor has participated.
