What happens when four passionate entertainment fans try to determine the greatest male actor of our time? A heated, hilarious, and occasionally controversial debate breaks out! The Smitty Woo Show's "Actors March Madness" episode takes 32 of Hollywood's finest talents and pits them against each other in a bracket-style tournament that pulls no punches.

The concept originated from a discussion about Will Smith's acting abilities, prompting host Smitty to create a comprehensive bracket balancing box office success with critical acclaim. What follows is a fascinating journey through Hollywood royalty as viewers witness impossible choices: Tom Hanks versus Brad Pitt, Harrison Ford versus Leonardo DiCaprio, and what the panel calls "Black-on-Black crime" when legends like Will Smith and Samuel L. Jackson face off directly.

As the tournament progresses, fascinating criteria emerge. Is career longevity more important than range? Should box office success outweigh critical acclaim? Would you rather watch an entertaining actor or a technically proficient one? The panel grapples with these questions while delivering passionate defenses of their favorites. Robert Downey Jr.'s journey from addiction to becoming Iron Man, Chadwick Boseman's tragically abbreviated but remarkable range, and Will Smith's genre-spanning versatility all become focal points.

By the final rounds, only the most universally respected actors remain, with shocking eliminations along the way. The eventual winner? You'll have to listen to find out, but the journey there provides a delightful exploration of what truly makes an actor great.
