Who is the Best Actor of all time?

[SCREAMING EAGLE-66]

John Wayne ... He convinced everyone he was an American hero ..... he never spent one day in the military other than in he movies (even during WWII). His contemporary, Jimmy Stewart, a pilot, flew bombers into the industrial Ruhr Valley (about worse possible place to be) and survived... [ as did Tom Landry ] Stewart then stayed in the military reserve for many years retiring as a General in Air Force Reserves. Many actors in Hollywood served in the military in WWII, some on Normandy Beach and many Pacific invasions (Lee Marvin). but not the greatest actor of all... whose "act" convinced people he was an American hero ( he was also known for his excessive drinking and three wives, none born in USA ).

Tommy Lee Jones. Yeah, I know but I still like him best.
