Most diverse has gotta be Sean Penn. dumb surfer, tough cop, r****d, intellectual, gay activist, tortured soul most actors have the only one or two of these characters down. Penn does all of them perfectly with no hint of his last character lingering. John Malkovich Gary Oldman Meryl Streep Kathy Bates Val Kilmer Cuba Gooding Jr. Johnny Depp (I'm reluctant to place him in my list even though i like him as a person and actor, but in all honesty, I think he is a better version of keanu and not really deserving of being with the elite acting-wise. Hard worker but somehow fails to make me believe he is actually any of his characters...unless he is playing officer Hanson from 21 Jump Street) Dustin Hoffman Rob Schneider
y'all crazy not to mention the kilmer. the doors the saint willow salton sea and my personal favorite Spoiler real genius (honorable mention: heat, spartan, the one where he's a p*rn star that hammers josh lucas's head in...sob)
well johnny tyler. Whatcha doing with that shotgun? I feel like a r****d because i meant to put that down. tombstone <iframe title="YouTube video player" class="youtube-player" type="text/html" width="480" height="390" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/D_6Xhyusw94" frameborder="0" allowFullScreen></iframe>
Jeffrey Wright is a good mention. Not the biggest acting credits but he definitely gets into the different characters he plays. He's a decent one I liked him in this skit <table style='font:11px arial; color:#333; background-color:#f5f5f5' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='360' height='353'><tbody><tr style='background-color:#e5e5e5' valign='middle'><td style='padding:2px 1px 0px 5px;'><a target='_blank' style='color:#333; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;' href='http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/stella/index.jhtml'>Stella</a></td><td style='padding:2px 5px 0px 5px; text-align:right; font-weight:bold;'></td></tr><tr style='height:14px;' valign='middle'><td style='padding:2px 1px 0px 5px;' colspan='2'><a target='_blank' style='color:#333; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;' href='http://www.comedycentral.com/videos/index.jhtml?videoId=16575&title=fake-moustaches'>Fake Moustaches</a></td></tr><tr style='height:14px; background-color:#353535' valign='middle'><td colspan='2' style='padding:2px 5px 0px 5px; width:360px; overflow:hidden; text-align:right'><a target='_blank' style='color:#96deff; text-decoration:none; font-weight:bold;' href='http://www.comedycentral.com/'>www.comedycentral.com</a></td></tr><tr valign='middle'><td style='padding:0px;' colspan='2'><embed style='display:block' src='http://media.mtvnservices.com/mgid:cms:item:comedycentral.com:16575' width='360' height='301' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='window' allowFullscreen='true' flashvars='autoPlay=false' allowscriptaccess='always' allownetworking='all' bgcolor='#000000'></embed></td></tr><tr style='height:18px;' valign='middle'><td style='padding:0px;' colspan='2'><table style='margin:0px; text-align:center' cellpadding='0' cellspacing='0' width='100%' height='100%'><tr valign='middle'><td style='padding:3px; width:33%;'><a target='_blank' style='font:10px arial; color:#333; text-decoration:none;' href='http://tosh.comedycentral.com/'>Tosh.0</a></td><td style='padding:3px; width:33%;'><a target='_blank' style='font:10px arial; color:#333; text-decoration:none;' href='http://www.jokes.com/funny/'>Funny Jokes</a></td><td style='padding:3px; width:33%;'><a target='_blank' style='font:10px arial; color:#333; text-decoration:none;' href='http://www.thecomedyawards.com/'>The Comedy Awards</a></td></tr></table></td></tr></tbody></table>
+1 was going to mention him for the Doc Holliday performance alone. The only other movies i've seen him in are The Saint and Heat. Not stellar performances but pretty good nonetheless.
Man, Oldman is an awesome actor. From Good Cop in Batman to crazy evil man in Fifth Element, to Terrorist in Air Force One...
