I like several of the people on the list and love a couple but Bill Murray is god and to vote for any other would be blasphemous.  May those who did so be subjected to an eternity of Norbit viewings.

No votes for Steve Martin??! I'll change that Smile not just for his movies, but the music of Martin. Though Bill Murray is amazing. Even to this day.

Ever?  He's very good in The Moneypit, Splash, maybe Big, but as a dramatic actor he seems limited.

 
Every movie I've seen him in, he just did a fantastic job! he does a great job of portraying the characters to thier fullest potential

Bill Murray's close but my personal favorite from this list is Michael Keaton; his work in everything from Nightshift to Beetlejuice both rang true and was very funny.
