Tom Cruise has studied the history of psychiatry, not just on earth but the galactic history of it. And he understands that psychiatrists are evil aliens who are friends of xenu. We are all tegeeacians you know.
Yup, got my vote.

This thread is pointless. You might as well ask who's the most dishonest politician in history. Eccentricity is the norm in acting. These are people who pretend to be other people for a living. A better question would be, who's the least eccentric Hollywood actor? To which I would probably nominate Paul Newman, who, given the level of fame he's had for 40+ years, seems to have his head screwed on surprisingly straight.
As for most eccentric, it's hard to pick between Glover and Kinski.

Kinski for me, too.

I dunno. I don't hear the word eccentric and think "violent/short temper." I think "keeps his own urine in jars." Lots of the people named here are simply assholes. Or drug addicts. I think it takes something special to be labeled "eccentric."

Crispin Glover was the first to come to mind...although when I saw him on the Tonight Show, he seemed surprisingly down to earth. Even if he does collect antique surgical instruments and sleeps in a coffin.
Marlon Brando was my second choice.

I don't know about Christopher Walken. He looks odd and plays odd characters, but he seems to be a normal guy.
For living actors, how about David Arquette? I remember when he was on the Tonight Show when they started broadcasting it in HD; he ran around in a weird green cape outfit, saying "HIGH DEFINITION!" I also saw an interview with Courtney Cox where she said he and his father like to dress up like clowns.
For deceased, Brando was the strangest.

It's very hard to define who is eccentric in Hollywood, since Hollywood (and the entertainment industry in general) is an inherently eccentric area of society. Hollywood attracts all kinds of odd bods, out of control egomaniacs and just plain old degenerates.
It's like shooting fish in barrel in picking the most dysfunctional or eccentric Hollywood celeb, and judging from a recent thread, Wesley Snipes could join the list as well.
