Jackhammer - well done with the Toby Kebbell reference. I've only seen two of his movies (Dead Man's Shoes and Rocknrolla) and the dynamics of both roles are very demonstrative of his capabilities. The same could be said for Paddy Considine, if at least for his lead in Dead Man's Shoes, and then he plays a British bumpkin cop in Hot Fuzz.

The obvious choices (Depp, Pitt, Hopkins, Nicholson) already being mentioned several times, I'll go with a couple who haven't.



I'm the first to mention Samuel L. Jackson? For shame, brethren! I know of no other actor who demonstrates such a work ethic and devotion to his craft. Again, diversity and dynamics are obvious in his countless roles.



Robert Carlyle has been great in anything I've seen him in. My favorite role definitely being that of the wandering cannibal in Ravenous.
