Two very different actors battle it out in the first round. Ian Mckellen is might be the best British actor to make it big in Hollywood. I feel McKellen might be a better actor than Damon overall, however Matt Damon has been in two of my top then favorite films. Also you have to take into account the Lord of the Rings factor, people love LOTR and I really don’t know why. Is it possible that people will vote against Gandalf?? To vote just leave a comment. Here are some of their best performances.
