[ReaperFett]

They can be from anything, providing it is a movie. You can use characters from adaptations, but you can only rate them using their MOVIE persona. Mine, as always not including Star Wars, are, in no order:


Tequila by Chow Yun Fat (Hard Boiled)
Castor Troy by Nic Cage (Face/Off)
Ash by Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead Trilogy)
Bullseye by Colin Farell (Daredevil)
Silent Bob by Kevin Smith (Kevin Smith films)
Brodie by Jason Lee (Mallrats, Jay & Silent Bob Strike back) - The man I wish I was :)
Mr Pink by Steve Buscemi (Reservoir Dogs)
Seth Gecko by George Clooney (From Dusk til Dawn)
Oddball by Donald Sutherland (Kelly's Heroes)
John McClane by Bruce Willis (Die Hard Trilogy)

[Sage Hazzard]

Wow, okay, this is highly subject to change. Not including Star Wars characters. No order. Counting Jay and Silent Bob as one. Hmm... me and Reaperfett are of like mind on many of these...

Jay and Silent Bob - Jason Mews and Kevin Smith (Mallrats, Chasing Amy, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Dogma)
Brodie - Jason Lee (Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, Mallrats)
Ash - Bruce Campbell (Evil Dead1 & 2, Evil Dead: Army of Darkness)

Bob - Bill Murray (What About Bob?)
Royal Tanenbuam - Gene Hackman (The Royal Tanebuams)
Max Fisher - Jason Schwartzman (Rushmore)

[Oriadin]

This is in order but is probably likely to change as I remember characters. I tend to find that secondary characters are usually my favorite within films. Some of the people on my list have relativly small parts or are not the star of the film.

1. Leo Getz - Joe Pesci (Lethal Weapon Films)
2. Rocky - Sylvester Stallone (Rocky Films)
3. Martin Riggs - Mel Gibson (Lethal Weapon Films)
4. Mickey O'Neil - Brad Pitt (Snatch)
5. Forrest Gump - Tom Hanks (Forrest Gump)
6. Ben Rumson - Lee Marvin (Paint Your Wagon)
7. Verbal Kint - Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects)
8. Wolverine - Hugh Jackman (X-Men 1&2)
9. Heywood - William Sadler (Shawshank Redemption)
10. Dave Veltri - Steve Buscemi (Wedding Singer)
