number 10 Patrick Stewart jean-luc
Picard Patrick Stewart is a phenomenal
actor with many memorable roles under
his belt but one of his most iconic is
as Captain jean-luc Picard captain of
the USS Enterprise you have a turn that
is impossible sir every now and then you
dilate your left pupil ostentatiously I
might add in an effort to cheat me into
thinking that you have a tell
Stewart last appeared is the
compassionate and inquisitive captain in
2002 in the film Star Trek nemesis and
after 18 years he's finally come back as
one of the Star Trek franchise's most
memorable figures in the series Star
Trek Picard may I ask your name dodge
dodge I'm John Luke I know and not
because of the interview because you're
the great man we're already relishing
just seeing Picard on the small screen
again as we've had to wait even longer
for that myself that's all waiting to
die number nine Bruce Campbell ash
Williams names as housewares hail to the
king baby bruce campbell rose to fame in
the 1980s playing ash Williams the pulpy
hero of the comedic horror films in the
Evil Dead series several decades after
his final movie performance in the role
Campbell returned in the TV series ash
vs. Evil Dead to reprise it are you out
of your mind oh it sounds crazy doesn't
it I'm old graying 10 pounds overweight
10 ok 30 pounds overweight but it
doesn't matter
although down-on-his-luck and hardened
by his experiences Campbell's ash
remains a fantastically entertaining
character I may suck balls as a father
but I will not let evil take that away
Brandie I meant
or my balls we got it it's just a shame
that the show was cancelled after three
seasons as we would have loved to have
more adventures with the grooviest hero
of them all how does it feel
groovy
[Music]
number eight Paul Newman Fast Eddie
Felson Paul Newman first played pool
hustler Fast Eddie Felson in 1961 s the
hustler in that film Eddie is an
up-and-coming hustler whose life is
beset by tragedy yeah did you see twice
Sarah once at Ames with Minnesota Fats
and then again in Athens that cheap
crummy pool I know why I do it Sarah why
I do I couldn't beat that guy could've
beat him cold you never would have known
25 years later
Newman returned as a much older Eddie
who comes out of enforced retirement to
mentor another young pool player in the
art of the hustle I think you do a
choker kiddo five hundred bucks says you
choke right now
why don't you take a walk [ __ ]
anybody wanna bet 500 bucks the kid
chokes while there is some debate over
which film is better Newman's
performance is just as good in both of
them although it was his acting in the
color of money that finally earned him a
much deserved Oscar win after many
nominations yes yes I did but you're in
Atlantic City now with the big boys
you're not back there in the stockroom
playing around with baby dolls think
about it it's a wash about all that
other stuff I don't take much pride in
that it's even but it ain't settled
number seven Anthony Perkins Norman
Bates Anthony Perkins played one of the
most influential horror slasher villains
ever as the mentally disturbed motel
manager Norman Bates in the original
psycho they see and they know and
they're safe
she wouldn't even have a
it took 23 years but Perkins eventually
returned to his infamous role in psycho
- I'm Norman Norman Bates in the sequel
Bates has been seemingly rehabilitated
following decades in a psychiatric
facility however the people around him
and his own past seek to push him back
to what he once was
[Music]
while most will agree psycho to isn't as
good as the first film Perkins remain
simultaneously sympathetic and
disturbing as Bates it's alright number
six Linda Hamilton Sarah Connor again
with calories puts us at a strategic
disadvantage bite me
as tempting as it was to choose Arnold
Schwarzenegger reprisal as the titular
Terminator in Terminator Genisys instead
we ultimately went with another actor
from the same franchise who was gone for
even longer my name is Sarah Connor when
I was about her age a terminator was
sent to kill me to stop the birth of my
son John leader of the resistance Linda
Hamilton had previously played Sarah
Connor the mother of humanity's future
resistance leader in the first two
Terminator movies almost three decades
later she reprised the role in 2019
terminator dark fate I don't have a
photograph of John
I never took any even after such a long
interim Hamilton proved she could still
be a badass imbuing the hardened Sarah
Connor with all the anger and bitterness
one might expect from a grieving mother
who likes big guns who won't let her die
for me again
then you need to be ready number five
Carrie Fisher leia organa that's why i
wanted him to train with Luke I just
never should have sent him away that's
when I lost him
that's why I lost you both
princess / general Leia Organa is one of
Star Wars most iconic characters and
although she may have been away from the
role for 32 years
we completely buy her as both the young
rebel and the experienced to general we
build the rebellion from this
[Music]
we have everything we need tragically
Fischer passed away during the filming
of the sequel trilogy and despite some
technical wizardry that kept her in the
final film for one last swan song we
can't help but be sad that she couldn't
deliver it herself our only hope is that
Fischer is now one with the force always
I came to face and laugh and I can't
save him I held out hope for so long
I know my son's gone
no one's ever really gone number four
Jamie Lee Curtis Laurie Strode you don't
believe in the boogeyman
I believe in Michael Myers and deranged
serial killer but the boogeyman
why are you should one of the horror
genres original final girls finally
returned last appearing in Halloween
Resurrection in 2002 Jamie Lee Curtis
returned in 2018 as Laurie Strode the
sister and frequent target of the
Halloween franchise's perpetual a killer
antagonist Michael Myers you need help
and you are not welcome in this house
until you get it I have tried to protect
you and prepare you now we have to hunt
him down although the movie ignores the
continuity of all the films besides the
first curtis's performance is a paranoid
and haunted woman is quite riveting
given that plans for several sequels
including one in 2020 are underway fans
definitely won't have to wait as long to
see Curtis as strode again goodbye
Michael
[Music]
number three mark hamill Luke Skywalker
the continuation of the original Star
Wars trilogy brought back several of its
stars and Mark Hamill also returned as
the heroic Jedi Luke Skywalker close
your eyes reach out
oh I feel something yes I feel that's
the force really Wow is really strong Oh
weary from loss and the choices he's
made this Luke is far more bitter and
defeated than when he was last seen
decades before fortunately he manages to
rekindle his former hope after training
a new jet I Rea this is not going to go
the way you think it is just now when we
touched hands I saw his future as solid
as I'm seeing you if I go to be Ben solo
will Tong don't do this while Hamill has
been vocal in his criticism of his
character's journey in the films he
nevertheless delivers a fantastic
performance and regardless of whether
you agree with him Hamill is certainly a
better actor now I failed you Ben I'm
sorry
I'm sure you are the resistance is dead
the war is over and when I kill you I
will have killed the last Jedi amazing
every word of what you just said was
wrong number two Sylvester Stallone
Rocky Balboa time was by too fast while
it was tempting to discuss Stallone's
return and one of his other famous roles
John Rambo we couldn't help but choose
what is arguably his most well known
character Rocky Balboa
[Music]
[Applause]
Stallone has returned to the role after
an absence several times in the last 20
years and we honestly couldn't choose
between them his return to the ring as
an older fighter in Rocky Balboa is a
wonderful last battle for the old
fighter while his turn as a mentor in
Creed as well as his fight with cancer
is also a refreshing turn for the
character you gotta bring the fight to
him like I did you got a coat of the
body dig and in doing that in a very
dangerous place because you can get laid
out it ain't easy for me to be in your
corner kid I love you're waiting for I'm
waiting for Creed is a perfect example
of a reboot done right and nobody could
have played rocky except Stallone before
we unveil our number one pick here are
some honorable mentions
you should be at least a two star
Admiral by now yet here you are captain
what is that
it's one of life's mysteries sir what I
mean is that in the last century we
amassed a landmark technological power
and we've consistently proven ourselves
incapable of handling that power 80
years ago who could have predicted
nuclear proliferation but then there it
was and now we've got genetic power so
how long is it going to take for that to
spread around the globe and what's gonna
be done with it
they ain't going to stop with the
extinction of the dinosaurs that's all
water into the fridge now here think of
the bright side you're finally getting a
meter and you never had to change all
those poopy diapers that's called being
a parent Lloyd
besides I changed your poopy diapers for
20 years they took a hundred and twenty
two thousand hours of my life for a
victimless crime I ate my bitterness
every goddamn day and when I got out who
was waiting for me nobody not even my
own daughter how did you know my name I
have been no we shall be your friend I I
don't know you I am spunk

Indiana Jones Han Solo and Rick Deckard
take off that mask what do you think
you'll see if I do the face of my son
Harrison Ford has played so many iconic
roles you might say he had an unfair
advantage here from a space smuggler to
swashbuckling archaeologist to neo-noir
policeman Ford has done it all more than
once
sometimes to love someone you got to be
a stranger he may be an incorrigible
grump about many of his most famous
characters but the fact is he's returned
to several of them in recent years and
we have to love him for it people
on us the galaxy is counting on us solo
we'll figure it out you're some horse
that's not how the force works while he
may be an older man now Ford has brought
his experience to his iconic parts and
used that grumpiness to add a new layer
to them even if his stunt work isn't
what it used to be
[Music]
yeah I thought that was closer
