5. Charles Laughton- Charles Laughton has a fairly simple role but he is consistently amusing in his performance.
4. James Stewart in Rear Window- Stewart manages to provide a realistic portrait who we can easily go along through the sometimes quite seedy world of being a voyeur.
3. James Mason 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea- Mason gives a great performance of an iconic character by always bringing to life both the wondrous qualities to his portrayal in equal measure with his more violent aspects.
2. Toshiro Mifune in Seven Samurai- Mifune gives a very big but also a very striking performance of a swordsman driven mad by his past.
1. Ray Milland in Dial M For Murder- Again another strong year with four great performances the academy foolishly ignored. Although it was fairly easily to know Brando would still be first it was again difficult to choose the number one out of these four. I give it to Milland though who gives a strong performance by both bringing to life the fierce some hidden motivation of his murderer, but as well as easily adding an appropriate degree of humor in the role as well.
