Val Kilmer - Tombstone Daniel Day Lewis - There Will Be Blood While neither of those two are among my very favorite actors, those are two Pantheon performances. What the hell, Val Kilmer? Why tease us with that awesome performance and follow it up with The Saint? Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark(Ironman, Ironman 2, & Avengers) Whoops, I should have mentioned that one. Also, Chris Helmsworth as Thor. Those guys just kill it. |

I know he gets flack for becoming a fat ass egomaniac, but he was damn awesome before he became full of himself. I've always had a huge soft spot for the guy. |
