*I can hear all of you crying "This is Asta Nielsen/Sarah Bernhardt/Kenneth Branagh erasure!" and this is my time to state that they would not have been admissible to the tournament proper and that is why they are not included here. To be admissible for this poll and the larger tournament the hamlet in question must be a male character in a -- and I cannot stress this enough -- medieval period-set film or television adaptation/broadcast.
