Sigourney Weaver as Ellen Ripley in Alien
The Sci-Fi genre has been one of the greatest film genres since its inception in 1902 with George Melies'sA Trip to the Moon.

Each film has brought some of the greatest actors who have truly made their mark on pop culture with their career-defining performances.
Fisher would go her entire career portraying this awe-inspiring character, being cast as her at the young age of 19. Her ability to shine as brightly on the screen as she did at so young marked her as a mainstay in Hollywood within just her first few minutes in Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, standing up to the ever-villainous Darth Vader with no fear. Fisher continued her inspiration to women everywhere outside of her appearances as Leia, too.
7 Keanu Reeves 'The Matrix' While Keanu Reeves may have a reputation as one of the nicest people in Hollywood, he also has a reputation in the Sci-Fi fandom as the one and only chosen one, Neo. While Reeves has appeared in other notable Sci-Fi films, none compare to that of the Matrix franchise, one of the most iconic, popular and groundbreaking Sci-Fi franchises of all time.
