20 - Daniel Day-Lewis
Day-Lewis is the finest proponent of method acting the UK has ever produced. An Oscar winner for My Left Foot, he enjoyed box office success with The Last Of The Mohicans and was recently honoured with an Oscar nomination for Gangs Of New York.

19 - Cary Grant
The epitome of debonair charm, Cary Grant is possibly Britain's greatest star 'export' - no one has matched his combination of looks, physicality and acting skill. Best loved for Bringing Up Baby and Alfred Hitchcock's North By Northwest.

Best known in the UK as the comically Machiavellian Blackadder, it is his TV and cinematic creation Mr Bean that has won him fans around the world, and gained the actor comparisons to Charlie Chaplin and Buster Keaton.

17 - Robert Carlyle
Hugely respected by his fellow actors, Carlyle has a hugely impressive CV by punching far heavier than his wiry frame might suggest. Best known for his portrayal of Begbie, the psycho with the hair-trigger temper in Trainspotting, he's also much loved for the diffident stripper he played in The Full Monty.

16 - Ben Kingsley
Born Krishna Bhanji in 1943, it was when he embarked on a stage career that Ben Kingsley chose to adopt the name of his grandfather, a spice trader nicknamed King Clove. Loved for two contrasting performances - Gandhi and Don Logan (Sexy Beast).
