Best 'chameleon' in movies today?

(1/17) > >>

no one special:
Who do you think is the greatest 'chameleon' in tv/movies today?  That is, the actor (male or female) who blends in most with the film that surrounds them, who can best completely discard their own persona and embody another? 

To me, it has to be Gary Oldman.  No one else can completely disappear into a character like Gary Oldman can.  Just think about some of his roles, from Dracula to The Fifth Element, from True Romance to Batman Begins... it's crazy ridiculous - he's an absolute chameleon! 


So what do you guys think?  Who else is a true chameleon?

Christian Bale has done some pretty stellar work in his career. Everything I've seen him in has basically just been incredible, American Psycho, The Machinist, The Prestige, Batman, hell even Equilibrium was watchable simply because of his performance.

Narr:
Christian Bale usually plays a pretty stock role, though.  Most his characters don't deviate too much from one another.  Don't get me wrong; I love the guy's work and go see movies just because he's in it.

I'd have to go with Philip Seymour Hoffman.  He was one of "those guys" up until he won that Oscar.  You know, one of the guys that showed up in a lot of movies that you just said "Oh, it's that guy!  From that one movie!"

I agree entirely, he went from being that recognizable guy you love to being referred to by me and my friends as "yo dude its chipotle"

I know he's all the rage right now, but Daniel Day-Lewis is good at this.
