Wow, if the qualifiers are so strong I can't even imagine what the proper rounds will be like.

A vote for Anjelica Huston from me. Really liked her in Prizzi's Honor.

Michael Biehn. Good looking and in some stone cold 80s classics.

It's a strong competition though. And Willem Defoe looks so-oooo young there!

Kirstie Alley for Look Who's Talking alone. Oh, but also for Star Trek II: Wrath Of Khan of course.

Carl Weathers

If other decades were in the mix, I'd probably go for Keitel or Hopkins, but based on '80s output alone has to be Weathers

maybe more people will be online in the afternoon

For the second qualifier, based on 80s output I will vote for Shirley MacLaine. The first role I saw her in was Madame Souzatska - I was 16 at the time and din't know much about cinema but I really enjoyed the film and her performance.

I think Keitel and Hopkins had better roles in the 90s - I would argue that the diversity of roles that Keitel had in the 90s should take him far if we were to do a similar 90s competition.

Steve Martin because he had some great films in the 80s - all his Carl Reiner collaborations, and Parenthood were all great.

Steve Martin

This was a tough one because I could have easily gone for any of the first 4 (sorry Andy Garcia), but I just favour Steve Martin on this particular day.

Willem Dafoe - for To Live and Die in L.A. and Platoon
Carl Weather's - he was an 80s icon, Hopkins was more of a 90s icon
Steve Martin - he was in so many great comedy movies during this decade, my favourite is probably Dirty Rotten Scoundrels
