Most Versatile Actor/Actress?
 

Hey Guys!
Question for tonight i have is who is the most versatile actor/ actress. Now i don't mean just only changing appearance, though that itself is very versatile, but types of actors that can disappear in their role, good recent example for me is Jake Gyllenhaal in Nightcrawler, or perhaps Steve Carrell in Foxcatcher, my pick for this thread would be Michael Keaton. Man, this guy was freaking Beetlejuice & Batman! Regardless of what you think of the films you gotta admit the difference between his two performances were incredible!

What do you guys think? What is your pick and what movies would you recommend would show how versatile they are?
Love this Forum so much thanks for commenting!

Nobody's commented yet.

Hugh Jackman - Wolverine, Kate & Leopold, The Boy from Oz, Oklahoma, etc. So many different types of roles, and he's perfect in every one of them.

Christian Bale immediately sprung to mind. Although he is often typecasted as an action movie star, the guy has done many different characters with differing personas.

Bruce Willis? He has done every role I can think of.

John Goodman

James Stewart (Love this guy),
Carey Grant (hate this guy)!
Modern day, Brad Pitt, Bruce Willis, Morgan Freeman for me.

Female: Katharine Hepburn, Streep (by a whisker, she hasn't done too many good comedies). Jolie

Why do you hate Cary Grant?

I think Bruce Willis is a much better actor than some give him credit for.

Dont know, just don't like the guy!

Oh how can i forget, Julia Roberts??!

Fair enough, I can't stand Sandra Bullock.

Sandra Bullock... i used to hate her too. But off late, eased off!

I'll give her a chance, I haven't seen Gravity yet.

Gravity... well the movie pulled through. She didn't do anything too special!! Blind Side is my favorite Bullock film!

Sandra Bullock was great in The Blind Side, but I love her in the rom-com While You Were Sleeping, the romantic drama The Lake House, and the mystery/thriller Premonition.

Premonition was good. Lake house, I haven't seen.

Re: Most Versatile Actor/Actress?
 

The Blind Side was OK, but Bullock has definitely done better work and I hated The Lake House with a white hot passion.

What I was going to say. ^
