Will Smith. His most versatile role was in Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Yea when I go to a denzel movie I pay to see denzel

Which I guess is true of any of these guys if you like who they are

When I watch mission impossible sometimes I find myself thinking "hard to believe he sunk his dads porsche in high school"

I almost downvoted, but then I thought about it - and I guess you're right.

Gene Hackman


Grantland had a GREAT piece on him a few months ago, I believe. He has several different characters he plays. They laid it out pretty well.

How in the hell can you say Tom Hanks??? He has played so many diverse characters. Forrest Gump, Saving Private Ryan, Philadelphia...I could go on.

Thinking about it a little more, I think he might have two characters. Scared, angry, loud Gene and well spoken politician Gene. Either way, Gene Hackman might have the best screen presence of any other actor I can think of. He's one of my faves for sure.

Another good one. Even in Capital One commercials, he's the same character.

To be honest, most "movie stars" fall into this category, which makes the merely competent, character actors like Daniel Day Lewis look like geniuses, because they are the only high-profile actors who are actually acting.

The bar ain't high these days.
