Best 'chameleon' in movies today?
MusicScribbles:
That is still an Ed Norton role.
I will not argue that he doesn't turn into the character, because there are movies where I've been immersed in who he is playing.
Ed Norton is a great actor, but all of his characters can be boiled down to the same pretty basic formula for the most part. This does not mean he isn't a great actor though. I really like him as an actor. Chameleon though? No.
RedLion:
Christopher Walken.
Now there are some people who would content "Hey! He's stopped trying to do legitimate acting and instead delivers over-the-top performances that somehow all end up coming off as extremely similar!"
To those people, I say: don't be a stiffly stifferson

Not sure about this one, all her recent roles have tended to revolve around the quirky or eccentric character template.
I know there is a big difference between her merchant ivory stuff and what she’s done lately, but her newer stuff pretty much comes from the same mould.
Nodaisho:
I have to disagree with Walken, he doesn't really disappear into his character, he just has too strong a presence.
no one special:
Another actor I totally forgot about of which the turn in conversation reminded me: Cate Blanchett. Elizabeth, Hepburn, Bob Dylan - all very interesting turns, all so convincing and with such strong character choices. Cate Blanchett's another one.
