Cary Grant hands down. The epitome of class.

I want to say Gregory Peck for some reason.

Another write-in for Gregory Peck, though far from a great talent. He was a gorgeous class act, and unlike cheapo neurotic closet case Cary Grant, he really was as good as the guys he was famous for portraying.

Cary Grant

Christopher Plummer

My dad met James Mason in the 1970s and had a major man crush for the rest of his life. He said James Mason as the best dressed, most elegant man he had ever seen.

Mind you, my dad is Australian, so…

Classiest actor I met on one of my flights was John Forsythe of “Dynasty”. Had on a beautiful dark suit with a black cashmere overcoat. He was a proper gentleman yet very friendly, RIP

Another vote for Gregory Peck here, not just for his acting, but for the fantasy in my head in which he is naked in my bed...
