Which is one of the reasons Bale was so perfect as Batman, Batman has grim determination to do what he does, so does Bale.
Jhonny Deep??? really?? nooo… he always does the same faces and… things… noooo! and I think you must put Sam Rockwell… but that´s what I think 😀
i think its really funny you never say anything about black people . and when your do its borderline racist… wont watch you guys every again ….its really sick its 2017
HOW is Tom Hardy not on this list!
Jared Leto seriously not even an honorable mention? Are effing joking?
⭐️Gary Oldman was rightfully recognized as the #1 acting chameleon. I didn't realize Oldman was in Batman Begins, True Romance, or The Professional until my best friend (a huge Oldman fan) clued me in! ⭐️⭐️
Good #1. But where is Gael Garcia Bernal? He was the first who came to my mind. And Jared Leto… You need to do vol.2, i think.
jared leto
Old Johnny Depp actually was a chameleon, but he's been a parody of himself for a long time now.
How does he have a better place than Christian Bale in that top ?
Jesus Christ I actually cannot recognize Gary Oldman in some of his movies.
Cillian Murphy!! Jaysus! Watch a few of his movies. And he's never had to lose a tonne of weight, gain a tonne of weight or be a jackass in real life. But he can be someone totally different in every movie. Start with "Breakfast on Pluto", then try "Red Eye" and then, "Peacock", "28 Days Later". Then watch him as the Scarecrow/Dr. Crane in "Batman Begins."
What about Tilda Swinton? Generations have gone by trying to understand the Swinton.
Colin Firth
Robin Williams?!?! C'mon!!!
non of the above
Jared Leto!
Edward Norton is probably the most underrated actor in the 21 century
I hate fight club but Norton is awsome in it…as he is in everything I've seen him
Kudos for making Gary Oldman number 1…Fully deserved, he is brilliant
Yes im glad that Gary Oldman is number 1 he's a brilliant actor.
what about Tilda Swinton?
Depp should've been number 1
Ehm Tom Hardy??
R.I.P. Heath Ledger.
Christian bale should have been number 1
should make a list of top 10 actors who just play themselves
it will include Jack Nicolson, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, Bruce Willis, Jason Stanthan, Michael Cera and of course Seth Rogen. Probably Tom Hanks too.
hoffman is such a good actor…why doesn't he do any more movies?
You forgot Christopher Lloyd and Brad Pitt
Dustin Hoffman's performance in Rainman was one of the best of all time, and I'm surprised they didn't even mention it.
Johnny Depp a Chameleon? HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
Wheres Tom Hardy?
Kevin Spacey?
Philip Seymour Hoffman, epic.
Where is Tom Hardy??? He's so chameleonic that you could confuse the movie you are watching with any other movie he's in, since he's practically the same character in ALL of them!
Jake Gyllenhaal is my number one for this list. So versatile
gary oldmen .. great nack and ability to become a character rather than
Gary Oldman's role in LEON was FUCKING INCREDIBLE GOTTA GIVE IT TO HIM
Jim Cary should've been high up on the list
It's really hard to narrow it down to 10. There are many great actors/actresses that could easily have been added to the list. I see many in these comments that I agree with completely. However, I believe you definitely got the number one correct!
IN MY EYES, GARY OLDMAN IS AT THE PINNACLE OF ACTING, EVEN INCLUDING CLASSICALLY TRAINED, METHOD ACTORS, OR ANY CATEGORY. IT JUST DOES NOT GET BETTER THAN GARY OLDMAN!
Helena Bonham Carter, Javier Bardem, Tilda Swinton, Jared Leto, Stanley Tucci, Ralph Fiennes, Emma Thompson 🙂
