Viggo was great in Eastern Promises.

Deniro has had sucha great career. The Godfather II, Taxi Driver, Goodfellas, Casino. Even later, he was good in Silver Linings Playbook.

Kilmer was last good in Heat.

I'll go with Sam Rockwell. First saw him in Galaxy Quest. Was excellent in Moon. Then was wretched in Iron Man 2 and has done nothing of note.

Viggo Mortensen

Try Captain Alatriste: The Spanish Musketeer if you have not seen it.

He was great in Green Mile and Hitchhiker's Guide as well.

Viggo was amazing in Eastern Promises.

Maybe just doesn't WANT to work very much??? I dunno.

I'd add Ray Liotta to this list. Loved him in Goodfellas... hasn't done anything good since.

Green Mile, 7 Psychopaths, The Way Way Back. I would like to see him in more movies though

The Ghost and the Darkness, The Saint, The Salton Sea, Wonderland, Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, Felon...he's had good stuff since Heat but hasn't done anything lately

He hasn't done too bad:

Seven Psychopaths (2012)
Conviction (2011)
Moon (2009)
Frost/Nixon (2008)
The Assassination of Jesse James (2007)

But my favorites of his:

Matchstick Men (2003)
Confessions of a Dangerous Mind (2002)

He had a slump in the mid-2000's but he's made one really good movie most every year.

I thought he was great as the closeted cross-dressing gay pirate in Stardust
