OK let's go for a few who aren't your usual names:

Michael Sheen:

It's all about the talent and not the looks. You want someone to play a real character without resorting to caricature- David Frost, Tony Blair, Brian Clough. All carried off with sheer aplomb and then you have his delicate, touching turn in Heartlands and even time for a throway role in the Underworld series of films. Top banana.

Daniel Auteuil

Consider him the French answer to De Niro but unlike the old masters decline into mediocrity, Auteuil get's better and better- Jean De Florette, Un cœur en hiver, Cache, The Lost Son, 36 Quai des Orfèvres all top films with memorable performances.

Toby Kebbell

A British star making it big without having to do the usual 'dashing Englishman' schtick to get notices. Dead Man's Shoes, Rocka Rolla, Control- 3 distinctly different performances and all utterly watchable. Still only 28 this guy is going places.
