Actor's Percentage

[LiddyRules]

What actors do you think have the best percentage?

By this I mean the proportion of great movies they've done is so much greater than the bad movies. For example, someone like John Cazale would have a 100% (5 movies: Conversation, Godfather 1, Godfather 2, Dog Day Afternoon, Deer Hunter). People with a small filmography should not count such as Cazale, they have had to had a regular work schedule. This isn't based on their performance, but the movie as a whole. Directors/writers are not applicable, it is solely actors.

Ed Norton is definitely in the 90%+

Are we counting only the larger productions, or everything theyve done?

Are we counting only the larger productions, or everything theyve done? Movies yes definitely no matter the size. TV I'm leaning towards no but it's really up to you. And good/decent movies count too. They don't all have to be amazing.

Cedric The Entertainer has made 100% shitty movies

(CNN) -- John Cazale is probably the most famously unfamous actor in the history of cinema.

Fans of the actor, who is most recognized for portraying Fredo in "The Godfather" and its sequel, know his work and love him -- yet practically nothing is known about the man.

"His greatest ability was making the actors and filmmakers around him look really good," said Richard Shepard, director of "I Knew It Was You," a new documentary about Cazale

The documentary, which airs on HBO Tuesday night, shines a light on the actor and his times. Cazale, who died in 1978 of cancer at age 42, was at the heart of the '70s film golden age, despite appearing in just five films -- "The Godfather,"

"The Godfather Part II," "The Conversation," "Dog Day Afternoon" and "The Deer Hunter." Every one was nominated for a best picture Academy Award.

I was in a short film for NYU that was pretty great. So, I'd say me.

James Dean did pretty well.

I might go with Phillip Seymore Hoffman here.

Though that movie he did with Robert DeNiro where he played some big fat homo was really awful. I'm not sure of what it was called, I think it might actually have been titled "Big Fat Homo".

MI 3 was pretty afwul and Along Came Polly wasn't anything great. But I mostly agree, he's been in on some great ones.

I refuse to quote Knox's terrible (and incorrect) opinion on Flawless!
