I'm sure there are tons of other possible candidates worth naming. But anyway, I think it's a pretty interesting list. Pick your favorite one.

	Can't really beat Peter Sellers imo, even if I might've picked Marlon from the same year portraying the philosophical black hole that is colonel Kurtz. A lot of other fine picks here, but I find that Sellers tends to be remembered only for his humouristic qualities doing inspector Clouseau, when he in fact was a genuine chameleon who could play anything - and damnright brilliant to boot. So yep one for good ol Sellers!

	Kayzer Soze!
	I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

	Mullholand's one of my favourite movies. Everything about it is incredible.

	No Thomas Jane as Frank Castle (The Punisher) lol?! The voice, that glare, the pitch-black humour.... nailed it!

	I see Paul Giamatti on the list and what a truly wonderful and incredibly overlooked actor he is. I absolutely love him in Cinderella Man. One of the best boxing movies made imo,and he was definitely part of that.

	Can't choose between Lorre and Hopper.
	This night wounds time.

	Daniel f**king Day Lewis in There Will Be Blood. One of the most impressive performances of all time.
