Alan Rickman pulls off some fairly different characters.
Gary Oldman is the chameleon though.

JGL hasn't been in enough stuff yet. Scared get, cobra commander, inception guy. Put down the fanboy pipe

I haven't seen Inception yet. I've seen most of his work since 3rd Rock. Try Killshot and Sundance film 500 Days of Summer, etc. He has played several different types of characters and pulled them off well. Perhaps you haven't seen enough to cast your opinion like I did.
Fanboy?

Seen all of these plus the lookout. He's a good young actor but doesn't have the catalog yet to be compared to these other actors.
I'd like to through Meryl Streep's name in the hat also.

I would definitely add Depp, Downey, and Oldman.
Day-Lewis is tempting, but the numbers aren't there.

what about Will Smith?

NO ONE said Christian Bale?
Posted on 7/25/10 at 9:31 am to USMCTiger03
I disagree with a bunch: Depp, Norton, Rockwell. Even Willis to a point. He tries hard but I just don't think he is THAT versatile.
Oldman and Day-Lewis for sure.
And I would Don Cheadle.

Apollo 13
Philadelphia
Forrest Gump
I also don't get the Johnny Depp love, he seemingly plays the wackiest roles. He can't (or maybe he just doesn't want to) play a regular guy. That's what I love about Hanks is the believability of all of his characters.

Also laughable if we are talking about versatility.
Posted on 7/25/10 at 10:06 am to Freauxzen
I think that maybe versatility needs to be explained for this list to work properly

I'll go with Gary Cole. He was Lumbergh in Office Space, Ricky Bobby's dad in Talledaga Nights, Mike Brady in the Brady Bunch movies, and a bunch of other stuff.
