Best 'chameleon' in movies today?

<< < (13/17) > >>

KvP:
In that case, we can attest to the fact that Ed Norton just really likes phoning it in, except in his early years and those cases in which he gets to seize control of the film.

cupcakeonastick:
Or he wasn't recognized enough for his talents in those two movies and was given crap movies like that Ben Stiller comedy. Or Italian Job.

Dimmukane:
I didn't like him that much in American History X.  He was good for the Nazi half, but then the second half he went back to being Edward Norton.  Which is why I don't think of him as much of a chameleon.

The same thing goes for Christian Bale and a lot of the other actors mentioned. This doesn't mean that they aren't good actors though. They just aren't character actors.
By character actor, we mean different kinds of people, and by different kinds of people, this is not meant trash-truck driver to superhero. To get into different people, they have to be differently thinking people.
A character actor could be Bill Murray. In Caddyshack he played a paranoid, drug-addled man. In Broken Flowers he was a rundown, tired-of-it-all ladies man.
A character actor is not Arnold Schwarzeneger.

I thought a character actor was someone that plays the same type of character, gets recognized for that type of character. Think Morgan Freeman.

Yes, I realize it is wikipedia, but I am not an actor, or someone that studies acting.

Well this is certainly different for him...
