A very fine List Cactus !!
It has many greats that are also in my TOP 10/TOP 20 SW LEADING MEN.
I did a separate Top 10 for SW supporting actors. 
KLAUS KINSKI is near the top !
GLENN SAXSON a SW Leading Man of Many Very Good SWs was actually DUTCH

She Claudia was superb and memorable yes.
And she still looks great today and she’s almost 70.
Anybody have a recent picture Linda Veras and Nieves Navarro? They seem to have dropped off the face of the planet.
Funny looking actors tho’… 
LINDA VERAS At her PEAK IN The 1960s SWs
was HOTTER than a smouldering Active VOLCANO :-* :-*
Tuff one but here goes
my favorite actors in order:
EXCELLENT consistent Voting :
2. FRANCO NERO 3. GIANNI GARKO with CLINT EASTWOOD or VAN CLEEF as Number 1
Something along the lines of…
Seens G. Gemma is not too much apreciated here
Well I have to remedy that…
To qualify for my list the actor had to have appeared in at least 4 spaghettis in a major role and given consistantly memorable and enjoyable performances. (Therefore, no Clint or Eli as much as I like them both) It was then weighted by volume; both of great performances and great films they were involved in. By that criteria, Milian wins hands down and Gemma is a creditable second. Nero runs a very close third.
(Kinski was given some leeway on the ‘major role’ angle as even his five minute appearances often seem major to me)
I have reviewed three Gemma westerns recently (UNA PISTOLA PER RINGO, UN DOLLARO BUCATO, ADIOS GRINGO), hope to add one this weekend and do some others into the near future
So, no, I don’t think Gemma has anything to complain
I was not crazy about Gemma at first because he wasn’t as he didn’t seem as “tough” as some of the others but over time I have grown to really appreciate him. I find him to be the most “legit” of all the SW stars because he does his own stunts and his horse riding and gun twirling skills are second to none. I have him ranked number 6 now.
Ok, my list, take one:
1)Lee Van Cleef
2)Gianni Garko
3)Eli Wallach
4)Clint Eastwood
5)Tony Anthony
6)Franco Nero
7)Klaus Kinski
8)Tomas Milian
9)Giuliano Gemma
10)Frank Wolff
That was pretty difficult. I probably could have change an order a little bit everytime when i would try to compile it.
I like the fact that Gemma isn’t the scruffy hardened face anti-hero like Van Cleef or Eastwood. I like having some variety in the appearances of leads. When they start looking the same it becomes a parody of itself.
