1. Ralph Fiennes
I liked Branagh in Much Ado About Nothing, not so much in Hamlet.

4. Branagh was good in Henry V though....
I give him props for bringing alomost all of Shakespear's work to the screen in the last 20 years. :)

I still think Gielgud's Julius Caesar was great. I can't vote in my own poll though. :(

8. Ooh, yeah...
Barbra Streisand's dumpling mastication scene in "Hello, Dolly!" was great, wasn't it?

9. They're all very fine actors, but Derek Jacobi leads the list...
...for me, at least.

He's the only actor to have successfully made Shakespearean dialogue seem conversational rather than stagey.

And I'll never forget his "I, Claudius".

He's just fantastic.
