Hmm, I don't know all the actors names, but if we're supposed to be naming the characters then:

Richard the Butler in Amazing Grace - he just cracks me up :rotfl:. "When I was fifteen, I almost ran away and joined the circus. They said I coulda' bin an acrobat. *prolongued silence*". Actually, all the characters in Amazing Grace are brilliant. After Richard the Butler, I'd say Thomas Clarckson was the best. And Charles Fox.
Fox: I see you have plenty of food...do any of you Saints drink?
[Silence. Clarckson looks around to see if anyone else is going to speak, then shrugs.]
Clarckson: Well this one bloody does.

Gimli in Lord of the Rings. "That still only counts as one!" :lol:

Captain Jack Sparrow, Mr Gibbs, Pintel and Ragetti, and basically most of the pirates in Pirates of the Caribbean. Too many quotes.
