The Silver Logie for Best Actor is an award presented annually at the Australian TV Week Logie Awards. It was first awarded at the 19th Annual TV Week Logie Awards, held in 1977 when the award category was originally called Most Popular Australian Lead Actor.[1] For the 2016 ceremony, it was renamed from Most Popular Actor to Best Actor.[2] The award is given to recognise the standout performance of an actor in an Australian program. The winner and nominees of Most Popular Actor are chosen by the public through an online voting survey on the TV Week website.[3] Paul Cronin and Martin Sacks hold the record for the most wins, with five each, followed by Grant Dodwell, Craig McLachlan and Hugh Sheridan with three wins each.
