Viggo or Gerard Butler? Viggo is in the lead, but barely.  After posting the article 'Your Favorite Actors/Actresses Announced' we had a response that was monumental. Featuring so many fan emails that are box couldn't take anymore, the debate between who the top actor is, Gerard Butler or Viggo Mortensen, couldn't be more fierce.
Having experienced the fans from both sides of the line, I have decided to leave my uneducated [in this matter] opinion out of this debate and allow the votes from the fans decide who is a better actor. Though I received more emails supporting Gerard Butler, I had received longer and more dedicated emails from the Viggo Mortensen fans.
So, this is it, vote on who you think the up and coming top actor is. You can vote as much as you want... just don't take down the server.
I would normally finish with a conclusion on who I thought was the better option but you fans are way too scary to try to pull any stunt like that.
Let the voting begin!
Update: Votes will be counted in two fashions. Unique votes [each IP only counted once] and total number of votes. Don't worry, we have the stats for each.

| Viggo or Gerard? Totally unfair contest for we poor weak hormonal females.
Then again - no contest. As much as I love the fun-loving, mischievious and hunky Scotsman - I voted Viggo. Odd how men have to appeal to my mind as well as my hormones. And well our man fits both bills. It's the longevity thing, you know...

| Well if you think the decision was tough for you Kal, look at my signature strip. How could they pit my beloved Phantom against Viggo? If there were some sand I think I would stick my head in it.  _________________

| I've been into the star database and clicked a lot but I can't find a place to vote for Viggo. Am I stupid or what?

| I also loved Mr. Butler's Phantom, Jennifer. Made me take a bit more notice. A truly beautiful movie with exceptional music.  _________________ Be Yourself. Everyone else is taken.

| It was a wonderful movie, and Gerard was dreamy as the Phantom. I just got the double CD from the movie, and of all the versions I have, that is my favourite. I particularly love the song/clip of No One Would Listen, which never made it into the movie or onto the soundtrack. If you haven't seen the clip I will send you a link as it really is gorgeous. _________________

| I don't know that version of "Fantom of the opera" and neither the song. Is it good? I have now voted 10 times for Viggo! _________________ You got it into yourself to be good at anything, you aim at. The fact is, that you must never give up.

| Decide for yourself Vigs. It gives another facet of the Phantom for sure.

| Sorry Kal, when I click on it it still says "Sorry. This video is no longer available". I do have the clip on my computer, but perhaps some other people will not be able to view it. I know when I was looking to download it from YouTube, almost all the links were not working. It took me a while to find one that was. _________________

| It is very weird. I sent you a screenshot so you can see what I mean though, Kal. Can everyone else view the video??? Perhaps I have jinxed my computer. I seem to be very good at that.  _________________
