[ManPerson]

I'd consider George O'Brien in Sunrise as well.

Edit: Also Lillian Gish in Way Down East, Douglas Fairbanks in Mark of Zorro, Brigitte Helm in Metropolis, Victor Sjostrom in Phantom Carriage, Vera Baranovskaya in Mother, Mary Pickford in Pollyanna and Greta Garbo in Saga of Gosta Berling + Joyless Street

[Tim]

Added.

[ManPerson]

Ronald Colman in Lady Windermere's Fan could be a contender as well. Same with Max Linder in Seven Years Bad Luck.

[ManPerson]

Feel if all time actors list includes "international" actors and directors includes "international" directors only fair to eventually add "foreign" performances to this list as well.

This means we would have to update the overall performance list at some point. A couple to consider adding to the yearly lists:

2022: Tang Wei & Park Hae-il (Decision to Leave)
2014: Anne Dorval & Antione Olivier Pilon (Mommy)
2009: Ricardo Darín (The Secret in Their Eyes)
2008: Kristin Scott Thomas (I've Loved You So Long)
2005: Romain Duris (The Beat That My Heart Skipped)
2002: Maribel Verdú (Y tu mama tambien

I added these to the lists btw.

[Area Man]

Maybe Lon Chaney's performance in The Penalty (1920) could be considered? I don't think that it's technically considered his breakout role - that would probably be his role in the now-lost The Miracle Man (1919) - but, as far as movies that are still available-to-watch go, I think that that's considered his first great performance.

[Tim]

Good call, Man.

[pauldrach]

Schreck, not Schrek.

In 1922 maybe Clara Bow in "Down to the Sea in Ships".

[Tim]

Thanks, fixed.

[ManPerson]

Maybe Albert Dieudonne in Napoleon, Emil Jannings in Faust, George O'Brien Brien in The Iron Horse, Theodore Roberts in The Ten Commandments, Rudolf Klein-Rogge in Dr. Mabuse the Gamhler, Lillian Gish in Orphans of the Storm, Richard Barthelmess in Tol'able David and Wallace Berry in Last of the Mohicans could be added.

I could also see a couple more short film performances being listed (particularly from Keaton).
