I don't know what the definition is. This is loose and casual topic. I wasn't sure whether you were being serious or not (now I know; but I wasn't disparaging Groucho Marx, I'm just not very familiar with him).
Half of each. [:)]
Groucho is underrated. One of my favorite quotes of all time: "Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana."
I second James Stewart. If you are asking for an actor who single-handedly defined the movies he was in and made those movies great, I think that he is my top choice. So many great movies that were simply great because he was the lead actor in them.
Okay, you guys are in trouble. I just spoke with my mother, who is about to celebrate her 83rd birthday. She's smart, she's classy, she's funny, she's given to the worst verbal goofs I've ever heard ("hyponemic durdle" and "Ingledink Hunkleburt" being my two favorites of all time). I didn't tell her about this little excercise, but I had told her about my daughter's "Bridge On the River Kwai" episode yesterday. Thus prompted, my mom opined that Cary Grant is the greatest leading man of all time. She says Grant in Arsenic and Old Lace was just about perfection.
Truly, Grant may be the greatest leading man of all time. Anybody care to argue with my mom?

I've edited the list as nominations have come in. The list is huge! There have been a heckuva lot of memorable leading men.
I will say, though, that the vast majority of these are clearly not in the "elite" class. I think the truly elite might number around 10. Then you can argue number one. (But I think mom may be right....)

CR, how can you find the time for your job, your family, one or more AE games (OK, maybe not right now [:(]) and for movies as well? I strongly suspect days in CSA are 26-27 hours long [:D]
Anyway, Dustin Hoffman is of the same class of the "original five" you have mentioned. Well, I'd say he's at the top of the list, much better than Harrison Ford. My two cents...
I have time for two reasons: At work, much of my time is spent typing - either writing or editing. If I do that non stop, eight hours a day, I go crazy. So I take breaks to run or ride or play games. At home, we don't have television, so I read, watch old movies, and harrass the cat.
