Wow...I actually have no problem with Bruce Campbell not being number one.

Now...how's about the 25 DEAD Cult Actors?

R.A.Danny: Where the hell is Ving Rhames?

Sipping maitais on the beach in Aruba.

Clint Howard anyone?

R.A.Danny: PizzaJedi81: R.A.Danny: Where the hell is Ving Rhames?

And why am I in an office in suburban Chicago?

Because you're not Ving Rhames.

Sybarite: An old favorite of mine.

Who dat?

Jamie Lee Curtis?

RexTalionis: I'm really surprised that Chris Walken isn't on this list.

What about Steve Buscemi? I got to number 3 and it hit me that I hadn't seen him on the list yet.

Alan Rickman is a cult-film actor? Really?

And list fails utterly without Harry Dean Stanton.

FTFA- Kurt Russell- "Surpisingly solid Poseidon Remake."

I'm out of here.

How is Sigourney Weaver a "cult" actress? Or Kurt Russell? Those guys are pretty mainstream

Who dat?

Dee Wallace Stone, the goto actress for horror movie innocent victim roles in the '80s and the mom in E.T.

Cult?

I got to meet my favorite cult actor a couple of years ago, when he did a reading with Will Self at the Festival of Authors:



Helluva nice guy, with a very sharp wit. Half the audience was made up of giggling schoolgirls who were there because of his Harry Potter association, and you could tell he was embarrassed by it. The other writers were just glad that the chairs were full for a change.

At least they got #1 right for a change.

I guess I have a different view of "cult actors" but those that beat Bruce Campbell are still some of my favorite actors. But I still consider Sigourney Weaver and Christopher Lee to be more main stream actors.

To me, when it comes to cult actors, there's Timothy Carey and then everybody else.

Dee 'ET Mom/ The Howling' Wallace-Stone.

RexTalionis: Peter Weller's Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension role, probably one of the greatest cult Sci-Fi films of all time.

Ok, for years I've been hearing how awesome this movie is. Finally, last year I taped it when it came on one of the movie channels. That movie is absolutely unwatchable. First off, there isn't a whole lot of science fiction in it aside from how Buckaroo Bonzai does his experiment at the beginning which happens to bring back Christopher Llloyd in a bad lizard person mask. After that, it's just any old "catch the bad guy before he does X" plot. That, and Bonzai's big thing was that not only was he a brilliant scientist, he was in a rock band full of 80s pretty boys. Yadda yadda yadda, you've got Jeff Golblum in a bright red cowboy outfit.

Totally horrible movie. Ice Pirates has more science fiction in it.

Oh, lighten up!

Where the hell is Keith David.

He was great in 'They Live'

Where the hell is Tiny Lister. Always wanted to see him do more stuff.

List isn't totally worthless :

Lance Henriksen
Michael Ironside
Danny Trejo
and of course Bruce Campbell

Are all good examples of "cult" movie actors but Sigourney Weaver ? Hugo Weaving ? The "Alien" franchise is hardly a cult status and ditto for the "Matrix" and "Lord of the Rings".



Now THIS GUY is a cult movie star

Pfft. You want an example of a cult movie star?

"Desperado" is a cult movie? Also, didn't Henriksen play in some kind of small budget movie set in space?

How in the hell does Crispin Glover get left out?

RexTalionis: Also, I'm surprised they never mentioned Peter Weller's Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension role, probably one of the greatest cult Sci-Fi films of all time.

Came here to post exactly this.

When I think of cult movie stars I think of Divine, Mink Stole....and that guy who played the Baltimore foot stomper.


All the actors on the list have been in major motion pictures......what makes them a cult actor?

Not to mention Naked Lunch.

Cagey B: How in the hell does Crispin Glover get left out?

Is he as self-important as he sounds in interviews?

Time Traveling Bunnies: FTA: For the last ten years of course, Rickman's time has been largely taken up with playing Professor Snape in the Harry Potter films. These have kept him very much in the public eye, his performances throughout playing beautifully to his prickly, drawly qualities. Now free of this commitment, it will be extremely interesting to see what he comes up with next.


Alan Rickman would be a great 12th Doctor.

I have a wish for when I get to meet Alan Rickman.

I want Alan Rickman to slowly wave his arms in the air and look surprised - as I slowly walk backwards.

BOOOOOYYYYY

Awesome list... thanks for posting!

I would have found a way to include Tim Curry, but that was a pretty good list.
