Well, it can't be Tim Curry...(Rocky Horror) or David Manners (Dracula)...and greatest cult film might be an opinion.....I'm actually stumped on this.

[Laura]

Well, I don't think it is Raymond Burr or Farley Granger, because they starred in lots of movies....Perhaps John Dall?

You got it, Laura! The cult film is Gun Crazy and the Hitchcock film is Rope.
