And that hot Asian chick. To be fair, I don't mind Daniel being one upped by the Duke. I never thought he was THE coolest character anyway, but man, did you have to go with Rooster Cogburn? JD Cahill, Col. Mike Kirby, Sean Thornton (my personal pick), and you went with Rooster Cogburn :?

I've got a couple of questions. How many rounds are there? And if a character/actor gets knocked off the list can that actor be used again?

Well, true. But the tougher part definately not.

yeah.. I was wondering how the one role per actor thing works, if someone nominates another character by an actor do we discuss which one gets to stay on the list or do we have to wait until he's gone?

Well, I was thinking we could go 11 rounds. Since I'm sure everyone has their own list, that would give everyone a chance to post their own top 10.. unless their picks have already been said, in which case you gotta scramble to think of another one. If it's taking too long, we'll trim it back.

And yes. If an actor gets knocked off the list, that actor can be used again. The only rule as far as that goes is that only one character per actor on the Top 10.

Starting off, I have never seen a John Wayne movie (I know, I should see one) but I do like Danny from the Karate Kid, plus that crane kick knock out blow makes him awesome.

And We start at the very bottom of our lists, and as a character is added, we judge their place?

You can start anywhere on your list. Personally, I think it makes more sense to save the best for last. If Rooster Cogburn was thefourthman's best character, or one of his best, and he threw it this early and it gets beaten.. well, that's not very interesting in the long run.

But it's up to you.

And yeah. After a character is added, we judge their place. So whoever is next, don't make your pick until you see the previous character updated on the Top 10.

Ok, I think I understand it. And does the character have to be a human or something resembling that or could it be something like Godzilla?

If Rooster was my best pick, I need to see more movie.

It has to be a character played by an actor.

playing devil's advocate here, so if he knew the name of the guy in say the suits in Honda's films (because those original movies were all the same guy) - that would count?

Eh.. I'm gonna say no, because it could just as easily have been a no-name stuntman. It's different than like, Iron Man for example, where Downey is as much a part of the character as the suit.
