While, much like [[films considered the greatest ever|films]] and [[television series considered the greatest ever|television shows]], it is impossible to determine objectively the greatest actor and actress of all time. However it is possible to list actors and actressess considered the greatest ever by a sizeable populace of people. The criterion for inclusion in this article is that the actor or actress is considered the "greatest" in a quantitative survey – be it a critics' poll, popular poll, or awards. Many of these measures focus on Americans, but those considered the greatest within their respective countries can also be included. |
