karloff = the monster bella lagosi = dracula (although i did quite like gary oldmans portrayal) lon chaney jnr = wolfman guess its the classics for me although i really enjoyed the more updated Benedict Cumberbatch, Sherlock and thinking about it Jeremy Brett didnt do too bad either

Re: who is your favourite.......
Rathbone and Baker - Yes
Tarzan - Ron Ely Bond - used to be Connery but after watching the re-runs on Sky and now I prefer Moore (much cooler) Obi Wan - Guiness |

Re: who is your favourite.......
Doctor Who - Paul McGann
His portrayal as the Eighth Doctor was pretty much spot on for me, further developed by a nine year series of novels and new radio episodes each month to this day. He also got the best TARDIS, all mahogany and brass! James Bond - Pierce Brosnan in fairness, the new boy Craig is having a good stab at it but none of the big screen Bonds have nailed the character in the books for me. Sherlock Holmes - Peter Cushing From the 60s BBC series, most of which is now wiped, but he is exactly how Holmes always was in my head. Not a fan of any of the new adaptations. Robin Hood - Michael Praed First one I ever saw, great series and probably the last English actor to play the part.....

Re: who is your favourite.......

Obi-Wan - despite been a huge starwars fan the old Obi-Wan did naff all in his movies and the new improved Obi-Wan kicked arse and used his lightsaber much more so im going with Ewan McGregor

Re: who is your favourite.......
Thomas the Tank Engine narrator - Ringo Starr
There are about half a dozen now and despite Michael Angelis having done it for more than 25 years he is never recognised for it. Picked up the box set for a fiver for a bit of nostalgia and no one co es close to Ringo Starr and the original Shepperton models. It's all CGI now, no atmosphere at all.

 )While I grew up with John Pertwee as Dr Who, then Tom Baker, my absolute favourite was Christopher Ecclestone who did a fantastic job of re-launching the new modern series. Great actor. Dracula has to be Christopher Lee James Bond - I liked the irony of Roger Moore (Love Judy Dench's "M" -brilliant!) OB1 -Ewan MacGregor Tarzan - Ron Ely - the one I grew up with! (Interesting to see how many have played the role on this link!Actors Who Have Played Tarzan) Agree with Ken that Ringo Starr is brilliant on Thomas the Tank -still have the collection of original videos which my boys loved! Robin Hood - see following video, brilliant and as he says at the end -Unlike some other Robin Hoods I can speak with an English accent!
