Empire magazine has compiled the TOP 50 best actors in history, portraying each in the most famous image (5 photos)

The authoritative British edition of Empire made the TOP-50 of the best actors at all times, portraying each in their most famous film image. The list was compiled by voting among thousands magazine audience. And the TOP turned out to be very controversial! As, in fact, all such lists. Many people did not like the dominance of English-speaking actors, as well as the fact that the list included very young and inexperienced actors who look very modest against the background of the masters of cinema. It is important to note that there is no ranking of places from fiftieth to first, just a listing.
