Gyllenhaal.

I don't consider a lot of his roles "big." He makes them big, maybe, but they're not pre-ordained.

That's a really good observation, he really brings characters to life. I always used to get him and Jared Leto confused because they both have a similar approach to how intensely they portray a character as well as their broadly similar appearance.

I think Jake Gylenhall just likes doing interesting movies as opposed to cookie cutter blockbuster types. He tried that with Prince of Persia and that flopped. Most of his movies aren't meant for mass audiences. I've always respected that about him.



I'll also throw Ben Foster in here. Dude always plays a good villain, just doesn't get used enough.
