If I had to pick just one: Amadeus. Tom Hulce, a.k.a. Otter in Animal House (crazy!)
I love Mozart!.

So, second (just one? Can't do it). The Pianist. Adrian Brody
I love Chopin!

Dramatically: Richard Burton in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf?"
Powerful role. Leaves one sweating (no, it's not porn)

Network: Peter Finch, for obvious reasons. ( brilliant! )

Honorable Mention:
Vertigo - Stewart
Citizen Kane Kane/Orson Wells
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof. - Paul Newman OR Burl Ives
Casablanca - Bogey


And for the music (of course)
The Apartment (the music is in the background, same for West Side Story)
My Fair Lady - Rex Harrison

Just for fun: Any Roger Moore role

Niagara
