Reminder that today is the last day for submissions! I'll try and put up the finalized list of actors who will be in the tournament sometime tomorrow, after the form closes

[vintagesffantasyactors]

As promised, now that we're a few days out from the final submissions deadline, here is a list of all the actors who have been submitted and will be in the bracket so far! If you submitted someone and they aren't on this list, there is a chance I felt they fell into that category of not really having a super strong connection to sci fi/fantasy generally and where the roles noted for them weren't necessarily roles that they're very well known for, or in a couple of cases there were people submitted where the work listed for them was all post 2000. But there were only a very small handful of actors like that; I think almost everyone submitted should be on here.

The final deadline for submissions will still be April 27th. I'll make another post before the polls start with the finalized list of actors for the tournament.

The current list of actors is below:

Bruce Campbell

Tom Baker

Wow thank you all so much for all your submissions!!! I'm having so much fun reading all the propaganda and I'm very happy both to see a lot of my favorite actors have been submitted and to get the chance to read about a few actors that I didn't know very much about before!!

I am in fact going to move the submissions deadline up a bit because the form has only been open for about a day and I've already gotten over a hundred submissions lol. So I'm going to be shifting it up to April 27th. Hopefully ten days is still enough for everyone to get their favorite actors in.

A few days ahead of the deadline I'll also put up a list of all the actors submitted so far so anyone can get any last minute additions in. There’s already tons of iconic actors in the running, so I think even round 1’s gonna end up being pretty tough!

Thank you all again for your submissions! I'm very much looking forward to this :)

[vintagesffantasyactors]

Inspired by @hotvintagepoll, here's another bracket featuring some hot vintage actors- but instead of being about actors from a particular medium, this one's about actors associated with a particular genre:

The Hottest Vintage Sci Fi/Fantasy Actors Bracket!

I'll be starting with a men's bracket.

Submissions for the men's bracket are closed! More info about the polls coming soon!

What makes an actor eligible for this tournament?

In order to keep this tournament on-theme and not have it turn into a free-for-all vintage actors tournament, all actors submitted should have some kind of strong connection to Sci-Fi and/or Fantasy media. This might mean that they're an actor who has appeared frequently in various Sci Fi/Fantasy works, or that their most well-known role is from something that's Sci-Fi/Fantasy. Actors who aren't necessarily exclusively or primarily thought of as Sci-Fi/Fantasy actors are allowed, provided that they have at least one Sci-Fi/Fantasy work that is considered an iconic role for them. You are free to submit actors you aren't sure count! I'd rather have more submissions than less. Just keep in mind that its possible some people may be cut if it doesn't feel like they really fit the tournament.

(Also, as a side note: horror movies with some kind of fantastical/sci fi element also count for this tournament!)

Other rules for submissions & propaganda:

You can submit actors who appeared in work from as early as 1900 to as late as 2000 (so pretty much it has to be 20th century). That way we can cover a range of classic sci fi/fantasy, from some of the earliest SF/Fantasy films to some of the cult classic works of the 80s and 90s.

You can submit actors and propaganda from both movies and television! It just must be from or related to SF/Fantasy material.

Please only submit propaganda where the actor is at least 18! This also means if someone's only notable and eligible SF/Fantasy role(s) is from before they were 18, they are not eligible for this tournament (even if they continued to act generally as an adult, or were in more notable sf/fantasy roles past the 2000 date cutoff)

Live action roles only; voice roles will not be counted for propaganda/eligibility

Actors who aren't considered primarily Sci-Fi/Fantasy actors must have at least one iconic SF/Fantasy role to qualify for the tournament; however, if they've had other lesser known SF/Fantasy roles as well, you are more than welcome to send in propaganda related to these roles, too!

I might put up an FAQ as well if I get a lot of similar questions/for things that need clarifying.
