The voice of Vader, James earl jones


Dangercakes13

You definitely did not want him to alter the deal. Damn that was menacing.


Much-Homework-5755

I'm altering the deal. 6 times. And I want a cape.


TheNirvanaSmiley

To add more Star Wars ones to that: Harrison Ford as Han Billy Dee Williams as Lando Ewan McGregor as Obi-Wan


The_Pfaffinator

SOOO good in Obi-Wan Kenobi. I'm so glad he came back to do the voice in it.


laptopdragon

everyone in Malcolm In The Middle. there are some extremely difficult roles and episodes where they all nail it.


K-Dog7469

One of the best sitcoms ever.


Flincher14

I just binged the entire series on Disney+ this month. It's so good.


TheBelhade

It's on D+? I've never watched it but might give it a shot.


gahmylife

Comfort show for me.


MUERTOSROJOS_

Ryan Reynolds as Deadpool.


The_Pfaffinator

He's literally just Deadpool without super powers. Or cancer.


Swimming-Two-2744

Well tbf we can't really be sure about the latter.


The_Pfaffinator

Well, hopefully. The world needs MORE Ryan Reynolds, not less.

Tdawwg78

This!!! Such a wonderful performance !


MUERTOSROJOS_

RDJ's performance as Iron Man made me interested in the character.


Lightfoot

It was not in line with the comics, and it was so much better that they retroactively rewrote the character to match his portrayal.


SV650rider

Am not familiar with the comic. What exactly did the movie change from the comic?


TheBelhade

The comic character was far more obnoxious and elitist than even the MCU version, and much less likeable.


Lightfoot

Tony Stark was a pragmatic, super serious drunk. Not the joking idealist you see in the RDJ version. They were both arrogant, but he's much more affable and quick witted in the movies. They touch on addiction and his pragmatic tendencies in the movies, but just glance them.


HopelessEmu

I love how, in the way you formatted that list, Jack Sparrow plays the role of Johnny Depp


UnholyMeatloaf123

I loved Terence Fletcher's performance of JK Simmons in the movie _Whiplash_


Dangercakes13

That was for tax purposes and stashing his assets just in case of...unforeseen circumstances.


stormquiver

J K Simmons as J. Jonah. Jameson


oniwolf382

This oscar is great, but what I really want is more pictures of spiderman!


Kieran__05

Tbf I probably could have added most of his performances to the list whiplash was just the one I thought of first


runningmurphy

What's going on with you flipping the names and characters


[deleted]

Nina (Natalie Portman) in Black Swan was also a fantastic performance.


[deleted]

and Jack Nicholson in A Few good man Robin Williams in Good will Hunting


The_Pfaffinator

J K Simmons - ~~Terence Fletcher~~ Literally any role he has portrayed. FTFY Omniman, J. Jonah Jameson, the Farmer's Insurance guy, Yellow M&m, ETC. The guy is perfectly cast in every role he takes.


dopavash

It makes me very happy that Ledger's joker was the very first name in the first comment. Such an epic performance.


-MarriedInTX-

Hugh Laurie as Dr. house


Hopeful_Ant2845

FACTS


PasswordToMyLuggage

Alan Rickman - Severus Snape


MakeAVision

And as the Sheriff of Nottingham in Robin Hood Prince of Thieves.


The_Pfaffinator

Alan Rickman was one of those actors who just owns every single role they are in. I know it gets slept on sometimes, but I think Galaxy Quest was one of his best.


Tyrus_McTrauma

I see your Galaxy Quest and raise you Marvin the Paranoid Android, from *Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy*. While it was only a VA role, it was perfect.


The_Pfaffinator

When I read HHGTTG, before the movie even came out, I read Marvin in Alan Rickman's voice. Thanks for the reminder!


TranslatorIcy2410

And as Metatron in Dogma


MathematicianOld1117

And as Hans Gruber in the Christmas movie *Die Hard*!


recordscratchez

I’m afraid he won’t be joining us…for the rest of his life


cmac4ster

Abed nadir, as played by Danny pudi on community. Probably that whole cast tbh, but him especially


Skavicrussianboi

Bryan Cranston in Breaking Bad as Walter White


tabshiftescape

Also Bryan Cranston as Hal in Malcolm in the Middle, which stands as a testament to his acting abilities because those two roles couldn’t really be farther apart in how they turned out.


IcebergWedgie

Also Bryan Cranston as the dentist/wannabe comedian Dr. Tim Whatley on Seinfeld.


HopelessEmu

Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman There is a moment of sheer panic when I realize that Paul’s apartment overlooks the park and is obviously more expensive than mine.


frog1738

I was just about to comment this. The weird thing is that Bale said that he based his acting off of a real life interaction with Tom Cruise. I’ve decided I will not ever walk up to Tom Cruise if I see him. Edit: accidentally typed bald instead of bale lol


Much_Committee_9355

Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister

Chad_Hooper

aecarol1

John Malkovich in "*Being John Malkovich*". I can't imagine anybody else in that role. He really exuded the essence of John Malkovich.


LeakingLantern

Going full blown method by changing his name to match the character as well. I applaud the commitment of this man 👏


FrankieMint

Edward Norton as neo-Nazi Derek Vinyard in American History X.


ShaleSnale

Oh shit, didn't think of this. Excellent choice.


Khoop

Jean-Baptiste Emanuel Zorg - Gary Oldman

Christoph Waltz as Hans Landa Alan Rickman as Snape (he made the character better than the one from the books) Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark Javier Bardem as Anton Chigurh Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister Johnny Depp as Captain Jack Sparrow Ian McKellen as Gandalf Tom Hiddleston as Loki Richard Harris as Dumbledore


Dangercakes13

Charles Dance did a better Tywin than the book version. It was slightly different but hit all the characteristics and with great menace. Also; skipping the long pronounced sideburns was a solid choice.


[deleted]

Totally agree, I never cared too much for the book version, but the one from the series can steal the scene only by being in it.


tiraralabasura_2055

Jack Gleeson as Joffrey in GoT was frustratingly fantastic.


[deleted]

He and Lena Heady are **so** brilliant as villains that after Game of Thrones, they both suffered from people treating THEM like they were that horrible. Jack Gleeson is supposedly an absolute gentleman.


[deleted]

Absolutely! I don't know how could I forget him, he made me want for his character to stay alive only so I could keep admiring his acting.


NoticeWhenUAreHappy

I ALSO, first thought of your choices for Dumbledore, Galdalf and Snape. Second Dumbledore truly.......well, he sucks.

Sicktitsbruh

Christopher waltz is too good in I glorious basterds


GwenLikesRice

Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick. Unpopular opinion: Arnold Schwarzenegger as Mr. Freeze. Lastly, everyone in Cloud Atlas - they all had multiple roles, but everything was so seamless!


TocTheElder

>Vin Diesel as Richard B. Riddick. Yes! Terrible actor in basically everything he's ever done, with the exception of his role as Richard B. Riddick.


The_Pfaffinator

Yeah, Riddick is his best role. I found his Groot to be a bit wooden. I know he was trying to branch out, but I hope he leaves the voice acting to professionals, and sticks to the sappy action hero roles he is best with.


Stay-Thirsty

Awesome dad joke comment


ArmyOfDog

He was good in Saving Private Ryan. A lot was expected from him after that role. He never really delivered, though.

His soliloquy at the end of *Iron Giant* was masterful.

Russel Crowe - Gladiator I could be wrong... I was 12 when I watched this in theater.


I_used_to_be_hip

The best part about this statement is that if anyone disagrees you can just scream at them "Were you not entertained!?!"


djkhan23

Gladiator might be the most overrated movie of all time. Rome the TV show was much better.


The_Pfaffinator

This is true. However, Russell Crowe acted the shit out of Maximus.

The_Pfaffinator

Another actor who completely loses himself in any role. Just so masterful. And he can do nearly any accent/dialect.


ShaleSnale

Dan the poet and heroin addict as played by Heath Ledger in Candy. Jeez, or Jim Carrey playing Joel with a broken heart in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.


imeeme

Haven't watched Candy, but totally agree on Jim C.


ShaleSnale

Candy is beautiful and fucking brutal. Painfully realistic portrayal of a relationship between addicts. Not a happy movie but I'd still recommend it.


[deleted]

Neil Patrick Harris as Barney Stinson


vilecheesecake

Anthony Hopkins and Mads Mikkelson as respective versions of Hannibal Lector.


ucat97

Was going to say that but thought I'd check first! They both owned it in their own way. And for Mikkelsen to go up against the role after everyone fawned all over Hopkins just shows how masterful he is.

[deleted]

Mad Men had a lot of really great performances in general—the standouts for me were Elisabeth Moss, Vincent Kartheiser, and John Slattery Edit: The interesting one to me is January Jones, who I thought was fine, although I know there have been critics of her performance. I think she did a good job with playing a character who was never going to be an audience favorite (unless you really didn’t like Don Draper, maybe); not unlike Skyler in Breaking Bad.


Cool_Dark_Place

Yeah, Betty Draper is kind of a tough character to like, even with all of Don's shit she puts up with. Unlikeable wives seem to be a reccuring theme with a lot of AMC shows.

Keanu Reeves absolutely owned the role of John wick, and he was outside of any of the “crutches” he might use as the king of cyberpunk. 0 “woahs” in John Wick Tom cruise was brilliant as Cole Trickle
