It used to be Top Gun, but then I caught True Romance on Netflix...
Your favorite performance where a particular actor played a character so well that you still can't believe it was them...? (Elaborate!)

The Meyerowitz Stories.
Reminds me...
Favorite Ben Stiller dramatic performance? (All his perfs have some level of comedy in it, but there are quite a few of his movies last decade where the dramatic throughline is more dominant.)

To Kill a Mockingbird Favorite comedic performance from any famous dramatic actor? This was tougher than I expected. But I'm going to have to go with what is I think is on its way to becoming a classic:  Leonardo DiCaprio in The Wolf of Wall Street
Perhaps the obvious choice, but I couldn't think of anything that came close. I'll ask the inverse, which I think is easier: favorite dramatic performance by an otherwise comedic actor? |

My choice for the same would be Bale as Bateman; it's a laugh out loud performance for me and made me a huge fan without me knowing anything else about Bale as an actor back then. But coming to your question, nothing can beat Jim Carrey in Eternal Sunshine for me. Just love it. I debated putting his Truman performance here but that can be regarded as primarily a comedy. Steve Carell in The Big Short is 2nd favorite for me. Now for the question... Since I mentioned Bateman, favorite Patrick Bateman quote? |
