Joseph Cotten. Not "traditionally" handsome or charismatic, but so naturalistic in his acting. And timeless! Not mannered at all.

Melvyn Douglas, what the heck are you doing with Garbo?

All right already! You're just jealous. :p ;) :)

Douglas was wonderful in Mr. Blandings Builds His Dream House as the attorney and close friend of Cary Grant. He won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for Hud. He wasn't the quintesential leading man but he had chops.

I have to agree with William Bendix and Broderick Crawford. I'd toss in Claude Rains as well.
