Sir Ian McKellern had a very successful career as a Shakespearean actor. It was almost like he retired from that to become a Hollywood superstar as a hobby in his old age.

American actors want to be movie stars.
British actors want to be the best at their craft.

Richard Burton, John Gielgud, Paul Schofield, Jeremy Irons, John Hurt, James Mason, David Niven, Stewart Granger, Ralph Fiennes, Oliver Reed, Ben Kingsley, Anthony Quayle, Robert Shaw.

Alan Rickman was also the best ever Sheriff of Nottingham in any Robin Hood series/movies!

[louisemiller]

What also surprises me ( maybe not) you measure success by the amount of Oscars they have won or been nominated for which isn’t really the true measure

[cymro]

Whaaaat ??!!? No mention whatsoever of the Welsh great, RICHARD BURTON.?!!
A voice like a Lion's Purr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿❤️

[Stannington]

Wait what, no Sir John Mills, Kenneth Moore, Jack Hawkins? Three of my favourite actors. Alec Guinness should had definitely made the list

[nicolajackman]

Should be renamed 10 best actors that Americans know the names of

"My dear boy, why don't you just try acting?"....Olivier said to Hoffman after Dustin had been awake for 3 days in order to play a character that had been awake for 3 days...'Marathon Man' 1976

[raverdeath]

there are so many top class actors not on this list but to not have Alec Guiness is unforgivable. this list i suspect is more like Top 10 British Actors that Americans have heard of.

[carolinebritten]

The vast majority of british actors go to one of the plethora of great drama schools in the UK and usually cut their teeth in theatre and television before they move to film and then have a go at Hollywood

[markflower]

Sir Ben Kingsley should easily be on that list. Anyone who can go from playing Gandhi to Don Logan in Sexy Beast has got seriously good acting chops.

[jerry]

How could Alec Guinness not be on the list? Kind Hearts and Coronets demonstrated his versatility.

[mildandbitter]

Ian Mckellen was a very famous stage actor (including a Tony award for best actor in 1980) before becoming wel known as a film actor after his great performance as Richard III (1995),

[margaretnicol]

Sir Ian ''didn't have much of a career ...''! Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[aaropajari]

In Great Britain excellence in the art form is a deeply ingrained part of the theatrical culture. In the US 'acting' is often a lot more often simply a vehicle to becoming as famous as possible.

[sarahealey]

In the UK you don't have to be in film to be a successful Actor, some people spend their whole lives in the theatre, McKellen is a proper theatre darling.

[johnp]

You thought Gary Oldman shouldn't be so high on the list? You should therefore look at some of his other work like, "Tinker, Taylor, Soldier, Spy" and "Darkest Hour", plus his theatre work and listen to the opinions of him from other great actors.

[brendaedwards]

I first saw Ian McKellen in 1982 in The Scarlet Pimpernel as a weasily, but brilliant, Citizen Chauvelin.
His King Lear in 2008 was a masterclass in the role. Fabulous actor.

[evelynroadmedia]

Plus, more honourable mentions should be, Charles Dance, Micheal Gambon, Ralph Fiennes and Colin Firth.
