The Saturn Award for Best Actor is an award presented annually by the Academy of Science Fiction, Fantasy and Horror Films to honor performances in the genre across film, television, and video.

[1][2] The Saturn Awards were devised by historian Dr. Donald A. Reed, who felt that science fiction, fantasy and horror films were never given the appreciation they deserved.

[2] The physical award is a representation of the planet Saturn, surrounded with a ring of film.

The award was initially and is still sometimes loosely referred to as a Golden Scroll.

The record for most awards is held by Robert Downey Jr. with four wins, followed by Mark Hamill and Harrison Ford with three, and then Jeff Bridges and Tom Cruise with two each.
