(other than Tom Hanks)
Inspire by the "Virgil Earp in Roadhouse" thread.
Sam Elliot: He played an Army Soldier, a bouncer, and several westerns.
Billy Bob Thorton
What you got?

... granted, its kind of a freaky range, but its still pretty wide.

I love his comedic roles. And I hate to bring this *back* up, but the steady grumbles about him playing The Penguin appeal to me as well

Maybe I'm confused on what you mean by "range." But playing characters with different jobs does not equal range. Sam Elliot is almost identical in every role he is in.
That's like saying Morgan Freeman has range. (though I think he has more than SE)

Leo
IMO Depp, Oldman, and Billy Bob Thorton

I've already given Depp his props, Oldman I completely overlooked but he is an outstanding choice. Bill Bob gets points for Slingblade, but I am trying to think of anything else that has stretched him.

I forgot Robert Downey Jr. Can play tons of different types of characters. his austrailian accents in NBK and in Tropic Thunder are great
he played:
Charlie Chaplin
an Austrailian actor playing a black soldier
Iron Man
and his latest, Sherlock Holmes
