Best 'chameleon' in movies today?

Aside from Newsies, which I haven't seen, and American Psycho, Christian Bale tends to run with very dour characters. Although I hear his Rescue Dawn character was quite manic.

Tom:
Guy Pierce!!!!

Narr:
Huh.  I always thought that character actors where just actors they'd go out of their way to find to play a certain element of a character.  Like how Johnny Depp almost always plays some slightly crazy, slightly effeminate yet masculine character.

Or like how they always get Nicholas Cage to be a dry flake of a man.

Yes. Other things Gary Oldman has been in:

Jim Gordon in Batman Begins. Zorg in Fifth Element. Dracula in Bram Stoker's Dracula. Sirius Black in Harry Potter. Sid Vicious in Sid and Nancy.

Dude is totally a chameleon.

Inlander:
See, it was my understanding that "character actors" were just actors who were too ugly to be lead actors.

Maybe I've been brainwashed by Hollywood?
