Gary Coleman is number one??
Pardon?
I didn’t see any mention that kid in the 1950s televison series Red Ryder. He played Little Beaver, what was that kid’s name? Oh yeah, Robert Blake. I understand he also was in the Little Rascals before that. I wonder what ever became of him? I always thought his being around guns at that early an age would bode badly for him.
Then there was that kid in Circus Boy - Mickey Dolenz.
Certainly prolific, if not great, Clint Howard
Jackie, Shirley, Judy, Mickey, Liz, Jay, and (presumably) Dean can all be explained by virtue of such lists typically ignoring everything that happened before the '60s.
I used to have a big crush on Kim Richards.
Speaking of Sid and Marty Krofft, no mention of **Jack Wild ** from H.R. Pufnstuf and the movie Oliver! ? Or his Oliver! co-star Mark Lester ?
Didn’t see Peter Billingsley from A Christmas Story either.
What a lame-ass list!
I am 43, and now…finally… I am comfortable saying this in public. I carried a torch for this girl that burned so very brightly. When she got onto " My World And Welcome To It", I thought I’d about plotz. I got to see her WEEKLY??? Lawdy.
Hope she enjoyed her time in show biz. She seemed just so…sweet. Thumpa thumpa. 
I’ve got a thing for girls with long thick curly hair and adorable faces..

Patty Duke, Hayley Mills, Mary Badham, Keisha Castle Hughes…this thread reminded me of a tourney I started (but abandoned) a few years ago (pre-Whale Rider). These are a few of the nominees, some of which are already on the VH1 list. These are only movie actors, not TV. Since the tourney never got properly started, the list is not comprehensive since more could have been nominated. Also, the more minor nominees never got eliminated, so I don’t present this list as actors that all deserve to be on a “Greatest” list, just as a reminder of some actors.
They’re alphabetical by first name. Several actors were nominated for more than one movie, which is why their name appears multiple times.

Since the VH1 list is so heavily skewed toward television, I wish Pamelyn Ferdin had made the list. They should have made 2 lists, TV and movies.
