Bob Odenkirk (not sure if I spelled that correctly)

Saul/Jimmy McGill in Breaking Bad and Better Call Saul.

Also, the guy that plays Mike Ehrmantraut (spelling?).
 
I'll 2nd some of you guys.
Terrance Howard - I saw Red Tails. Terrible movie. They had a palette of good story opportunities and made it numbing and formulaic. And they had ILM magic.
I fell asleep and woke up to this movie, and few minutes later, Howard's character straightens someone out. The dialogue was bad towards the end, it follows a cookie cutter script where he softens out and lets his subordinate go without punishment.
But, golly, Howard kind of made that scene awesome for a few moments.

Michael Pena - I pretty much enjoy everything is he in. He does it well, and if it wasn't for looking distinctive, he would have a bit more of the Gary Oldman morphing techniques.

My own offerings:
Dwayne Johnson - he will be forever typecasted in the same role. That's okay. He does the charismatic bro thing so well.

Armie Hammer - I would like to see more movies with him, he seems to do a good job even in mediocre movies.

JK Simmons. Yeah, he recently won an oscar but I feel he's still underrated.

I agree. That is the only movie I know of where he played anything significant that was popular.

He seldom appeared playing minor ass roles like being a dad in Juno, etc.

For me:



Leonardo Dicaprio: Of course he's uber famous, but he was just a pretty boy for girls in Titanic & Romeo + Juliet. I wrote him off as a little sh*t at that time. As he got older, man, did he become a real man. He sort of caught my attention with Catch Me If You Can. But by Blood Diamond, I was applauding his acting chops. And holy hell, Revolutionary Road was jaw droppingly haunting. What a performance from the reunion of Kate Winslet and Leo. Both matured into some serious bad asses.



Yours?
