The first lead role of Brad Pitt saw him as the title role of Johnny Suede, an aspiring Rock Star looking to follow in the footsteps of his hero, Ricky Nelson. We can’t say that we remember anything that Johnny Suede sang (or even if he did) but we will be haunted by the gigantic pompadour that he sported in the film.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
Johnny Suede (1991)
Actor:
Brad Pitt
Songs you might remember:
The Flame Still Burns
Why you should vote for him:
We would give him consideration just for that pompadour alone!
Why you should not vote for him:
In the pantheon of Brad Pitt roles, is this even in the top twenty?

In what was the last (and by far the weakest) of the Dirty Harry Franchise, we were treated to Jim Carrey lip-syncing the Guns N’ Roses megahit, “Welcome to the Jungle” in the persona of Johnny Squares. With all due respect to Carrey, his performance was like a bad sketch and his character’s demise was not met with a lot of sorrow.
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
The Dead Pool (1988)
Actor:
Jim Carrey
Songs you might remember:
Welcome to the Jungle
Why you should vote for him:
Carrey is one of the most successful comedic actors of all time.
Why you should not vote for him:
That fact did not translate here.

In Guy Ritchie’s mixed reviewed (though better than anything starring Madonna) film RocknRolla, we have another look at the British organized crime scene. One of the key characters is Johnny Quid, a drugged out wannabe Rock Star. Realistically, the fact that he is a musician is not that relevant to the plot and his music is not exactly featured. Still, we can’t help but cheer on and put someone on the ballot that wants to be a real “RocknRolla”!
The Bullet Points:
Movie Appeared:
RocknRolla (2008)
Actor:
Tony Kebbell
Songs you might remember:
None
Why you should vote for him:
We have to admit this isn’t relevant, but we loved the Soundtrack.
Why you should not vote for him:
This is an aspiring Rocker, but the fact that he is a musician is not that important.

Loosely based on Frank Sinatra, Jonny Fontaine was a nice character in the first Godfather film that was one of the godson’s of Don Vito Corleone. The Godfather assisted Fontaine throughout his career, most notably with the use of severed head in the bed of a movie studio executive. It got him the part, and put the crooner back on top. If you vote for him, we will make you an offer you can’t refuse!
The Bullet Points:
Movies Appeared:
The Godfather (1972)
The Godfather Part III (1990)
Actors:
Al Martino
Songs you might remember:
I Have But One Heart
Why you should vote for him:
Because we will make you an offer you can’t refuse.
Why you should not vote for him:
Does a crooner really belong in our Hall of Fame?
