I reckon this could be a pretty good thread actually.
Favourite in terms of actor and a single character, giving reasons would probably make this more interesting than just saying names.

Although the statistics are somewhat questionable you really have to respect the guy for actually surviving that shit and living into old age. Thats what Id call cheating the death, tenfold.

Also love that although he was a sniper, he didn't use a telescopic sight, only a shoddy Finnish clone of the Mosin-Nagant. In below-freezing temperatures and chest-high piles of snow.
And to think, he was just a simple Finnish farmer before the war.

No wonder the Russians called him the "White Death." Probably because he wore white camouflage, but still.

Not so simple it seems, he was also a hunter and had a farmhouse full of marksmanship trophies

Steven Seagal's line during exit wounds pretty much summed up his facial reactions.
"This is my happy face"
