Mr Fabulous was probably the best actor (the scene in the Chez Paul springs to mind) but I always found Donald Duck Dunn hilarious.

Steve Cropper is the original Blues Brother.
But in the movie Dunn gets the best lines.

Don't have a favorite and they all have the best nicknames:
Willie "Too Big" Hall
Matt "Guitar" Murphy
Tom "Bones" Malone
Steve "The Colonel" Cropper
Donald "Duck" Dunn
"Blue" Lou Marini
Alan "Mr. Fabulous" Rubenstein
The only one that didn't have a nickname was Murphy Dunne.

I love them all, but Bones Malone is #1 for me on the basis of his absolute wailing on Minnie the Moocher.

Let's not forget the man himself, Cab Calloway. My father absolutely hated this movie (as most dads would of movies their kids loved), but he loved Cab Calloway and let us watch it when he sang Minnie the Moocher. Of course, once Cab was done, we had to turn the channel before he saw Jake and Elwood on stage or he'd swear more than the movie did.

I liked 'em all but Mr. Fabulous had the best nickname so you know he had to be the coolest.

I was gonna say Elwood as it's Dan Aykroyd and I just love him! But, other than that, I think Guitar Murphy; as a previous poster said he just looks like he's having a blast throughout the film.

Tom 'Bones' Malone, because I also play trombone. In one of the deleted scenes at Bob's Country Bunker, Bob hands 'Bones' the song request list, "Because you're the tallest." If that had survived into the cinematic release, it would be one of the best throwaway lines in the film.

I dig Matt Murphy, too. And I also like Blue Lou, especially the way he whips off his hairnet in the restaurant and grabs his axe! LOL

As an old Blood Sweat and Tears fan, gotta go with Blue Lou!

Mine is Matt "Guitar" Murphy. He seems to enjoy every moment he's playing.
