Spains best actor is Sergio Busquets..

Your comment makes it sound like the film was universally detested, when really, it would be fair to say it received mixed reviews. If you don't like Lars von Trier, or Björk, or the movie that's fine though.
As for Worthington, I quite liked him in Terminator but I think that Avatar was a piece of crap. Whether that's his fault or not, I wouldn't try to judge, although I'd lean towards it not being his fault at all. Whilst I haven't seen Somersault, none of his other performaces have amazed me. Being stoned at NIDA isn't my idea of a larrakin though.

Kemal Sunal (aka Saban the Cow)
I know they seemed extremely weird but... They teach us how to live, how to resist against goverment, how to see life... Thats hard but my vote goes to Kemal Sunal. Rest in peace and thank you so much for everything.

Well, I did say "my", and I'm not going to derail this thread over your interpretation of larrikin. I wasn't a huge fan of, say, Superbad, as a film, either, but I suppose I wasn't its target audience - whereas I wrote my thesis on film musicals, and watching Dancer in the Dark still made me go "wtf".

I wonder if you could have found a more flattering picture, like from The Girl with the Dragon Tatoo or something. He's a great actor though.

too many good ones. to choose. must.....pick.....one

Although Rutger Hauer is probably the most famous I think we are better represented by Derek de Lint

For Belgium I have seen a lot of van Damme but I would have to go with Jan Declair. For me he embodies better as one of the others the soul of belgium
![[image loading]](http://blog.dyod.be/wp-content/gallery/jan-decleir/jan-decleir_25467.jpg)
Denmark has to be Mads Mikkelsen without a doubt. The films he impressed me most in were Adam's apples, After the wedding and Valhalla rising.
America for me has to be Humphrey Bogart. There are a lot of other very good actors but especially his role in Casablanca did it for me.
ps. can I also for Scotland throw Billy Conolly in the mix?
