I'd have to say Lon Chaney based on the simple principal that without him, it's unlikely anyone today would remember The Phantom. Next would be Michael Crawford. As a side note, I got to see him live in The Woman in White. 3nodding I was so happy!!!

Thomas James O'Leary, I am very fond of TJO's singing. He is VERY emphatic and expressive in his lines. Thomas looks the part too, his stature just shouts "Phantom".
He's not even my single favorite though. I'd list them but there are a LOT!
Another of my favorites would have to be Michael Crawford, I grew up on the original cast recording of MC and Sarah Brightman. I love his voice, very mellow and sweet, but also commanding and thundering. He may not be the best phantom, but he is certainly the most famous.

Probably Lon Chaney or Gerard Butler. Lon because the original was kind of creepy...
..And Gerard because you do feel more compassionate because of his looks. Because, you know, here's a guy who could've been a socialite, very successful, etc. like Raoul, except for the deformity.
Which, by the way, should've been more horrifying, because the "good" half looked like Gerard Butler. Oh well, he appeals to the younger set. Yay for eye candy!

Well, since neither of my personal favourites are listed, I'll have to say Gerard Butler, since he does such a fab job. On the other hand, off the list it's a tie between Hugh Panaro's Phantom (the current Broadway cast) and Leroux's Erik in the novel.

I will have to say...uhm, let me seee here.
How about...number 4?
Oh yes, he is my prrrecious. I'm like the only one who chose him too. Although Leroux Erik is awesome, but you didn't list him, sooo, yeah.

Phantom of the Operahouse

Posted: Sun Oct 16, 2005 4:28 pm
I loved all the versions of the Phantom, including the book version, but personally my favorite was Gerard Butler's version. I believed it was more realistic than the others and gave him a more humanly aspect than the others, which focused mainly on the horror of the theme. Also, I think that he had teh best songs and was a very talented singer. He really gave the The Phantom emotion.

Lon Chaney and Michael Crawford. They both made me cry. I still cry when I hear MC, and I still cry when I watch the silent film.

They made you cry? How? The Lon Chaney version, like the book, was made as a horror film, not a romance. Its purpose and intent was to scare, not sadden.

Lon Chaney is my favorite Phantom film wise. But when it comes to Phantoms, no one can beat Michael Crawford and his OH SO SEXY hand motions!

As for favorites I will have to say Gerry and the Susan Kay Phantom..which ironically no one has yet mentioned.
