Along with football and The Beatles, actors are one of Britain\u2019s greatest exports. Maybe it\u2019s the whole Shakespeare thing or maybe we\u2019re just extra good at playing pretend, but we churn out great actors like McVitie\u2019s churn out Digestives (other brands are available).<\/p>\n

But who is currently the greatest British actor of them all? We took 55 British actors and worked out an average critic score based on each actor\u2019s 10 highest-rated movies using the always-reliable Rotten Tomatoes.<\/p>\n

Because Britain has produced so many great actors over the years, we\u2019ve limited our research to active actors only. So someone like Sir Sean Connery – who would have come 2nd – isn\u2019t included because he has retired.<\/p>\n

Without any further ado, here is the top 10. Feel free to share your favourites\/argue in the comments!<\/p>\n
