And Lo Pan shouldn't be left out. James Hong is a legend.

Avery Brooks as Benjamin Sisko.

Definitely. And as Hawk from Spenser for Hire.

 

[Aeson]

John Goodman is proof you don't need to be good looking and thin to be a great actor. I've looked up to him for a long time.

 

[James Gasik]

And Lo Pan shouldn't be left out. James Hong is a legend.

Or Victor Wong's contribution:

If you know, you know.

If you haven't seen her in "Don't Look Up" then I recommend that you do. I can't remember her playing a similar character before.

I've seen it yesterday. Have you seen some of her movie media interviews? I guess the direction for the role was "just be yourself"

Jokes aside, I loved the acting, but the movie itself left me a bit cold.

I got the same impression, after seeing some of her interviews for "Passengers"

It's definitely a political comedy, which means it's not for everyone. It's definitely got star power and none of the actors "phoned it in."

Joaquin Phoenix as the titular character in 2019's Joker. It's the only time that I recall thinking to myself, as I was watching a film for the first time, that I was witnessing an Oscar-winning performance.

 

[DrunkonDuty]

Iman Vellani as Ms Marvel.

 

[Autumnal]

Some might say singular knock out execution.

His Dawn of the Dead remake is superb - in many ways better than the original, I think, for incorporating a wider swath of satire.

Michael Wincott in anything , but especially the trifecta of The Crow, Strange Days, and Count of Monte Cristo. He always brings such sinister glamour and wit.

So many, here are some

Walton Goggins in anything but The Shield. I dislike his character in that series, because I first got to know him in Justified and the character in The Shield is so spineless compared to Boyd Crowder. So he did his job well portraying Shane Vendrell, but I still hate the character.
Alan Rickman in his villainous roles are a joy from the Sheriff of Nottingham to Hans Gruber to Professor Snape
Robin Williams as the Genie in Aladdin.
Robert Patrick as the T-1000
Charles Dance as Tywin Lannister
Tatiana Maslany in Orphan Black
Kelsey Grammer as Dr Frasier Crane
