Emlyn Williams in the legendary Korda/von Sternberg unfinished I, CLAUDIUS film
Jay Robinson played Caligula in THE ROBE and DEMETRIUS & THE GLADIATORS
Charles Borromel in THE LAST GLADIATOR (L'Ultimo Gladiatore).
Very good but he's only in one third of the film.
John Hurt was Caligula in the I, CLAUDIUS mini-series
Malcolm McDowell in CALIGULA, possibly the most
famous (or infamous) portrayal of the deranged Caesar
Caligula was played by Gino Turini in the porn film CALIGULA & MESSALINA
This film used tons of footage from old PEP film between the sex scenes.

Jay Robinson was the first one I ever saw and he still stands at the top for me. That voice! LOL
a voice akin to nails on chalkboard!
Malcolm MacDowell certainly had the looks. I tried to watch that version of Caligula, but it was just too dull and badly paced ... something you don't generally say about films with hardcore porn scenes, but ... geeze. Dull and badly paced!
More a voice that is biting and venomous! And also, speaks with such clarity that it's a pleasure to witness.
John Hurt in 'I Claudius' is the best Caligula. Emelyn Williams, in the unfinished movie version of the same novel, looks like it would have been very good, especially with Charles Laughton playing Claudius.
