Honestly?

Harrison Ford. :D :D :D

But since he's not an option - Gregory Peck, solely because of his role as Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Ben Affleck, he was the bomb in Phantoms yo!

but from your poll there, Al Pachino is probably my favorite. He's just done so many great rolls...
Godfather (innocent boy to head of a crime family)
Scent Of A Woman (WHO-A!)
Devil's Advocate (wicked!)

He did do this one film where he was a doctor dealing with druggies and stuff...can't remember what it was called. It was like a thriller - he was awesome in that! Not bumbling at all.

Something like that...

They were trying to find a cure for paralysis by cutting the druggies spines. (Coz they thought they were the only people that wouldn't be missed...)

Of course, cutting spines, the most obvious way to cure paralysis :-?

Sounds like a "straight to TV" film to me. lol.

Actually I think I have seen it before. So I'll take you're word for it :)
