Which actor actress portrayed/characterized an android or an artificial intelligence or even human combined with machine (like a cyborg) the best? I pretty much consider those three to be in same category. Who was the first to do such a portrayal/characterization which is now considered to be the litmus test for such
With the recent performances in Westworld, I am reminded of the classics like Brent Spiner's Data, or does sci fi flicks with the thinking computers that have voices and communicate. I want to compare them and see how they hold up.
Is Brent Spiner considered the litmus for all androids, AIs, and cyborgs? What about KIT from Knight rider?
You should make a pole.
I also like Caity Lotz performance in The Machine
I think she be getting more challenging roles after this movie, than Legends of Tomorrow, which I like too.

Spiner said he based his portrayal of Data on Robby the Robot from Forbidden Planet. I would have to say that Spiner certainly improved on Arnold's performance in Terminator and likely is the template for other portrayals. Summer Glau took it to another level in the Sarah Connor Chronicles. Another show that I liked that Fox dropped.
Not many things as perfect as Frank Welker's voice as Megatron.

That episode where Data had a daughter Lal, I thought the actress did a great job. Especially when she was malfunctioning and he had to shut her down at the end.
The two best portrayals in my book are actually from the same show: Summer Glau and Garret Dillahunt in Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles were both fucking outstanding. I'm talking in-a-league-of-their-own good. Even between the two of them, though, Summer Glau set herself apart. And not just because she's hot. Her acting in that show was so unbelievably nuanced in every single scene episode after episode.
This is one of my favorite scenes of hers. That moment when she goes into her files, mimics the emotional response of a girl who was melting down, and then switches it off after is just chilling.
I forget about Peter Weller
Sid 6.7 ftw

When I read the thread title, he was the first thought that came to mind.
He certainly is the gold standard of AI/Android characters.
And on a related note - This Data cosplay is amazing, and the song is really good as well.
Vikander Ex Machina
Fassbender in Prometheus/Covenant
Black haired replicant in Blade Runner 2049
Kevin Spaceys voice as GERTY in Moon....very similar to HAL in 2001 though
underrated but Haley Joel Osment as David in AI was a pretty fantastic job given he was just a kid
how can we forget the GOATbot of all time
