Most Versatile Actors and Actresses

I think he's the greatest actor ever lived and he's become my most favourite actor ever. Judging from his movies that I've already seen, he's unbeatable at being versatile. I'm completely captured by his performance as

Christy Brown, an Irishman born with cerebral palsy, in My Left Foot (1989)


Nathaniel Hawkeye, an adopted white Mohican, in The Last of the Mohicans (1992)


Newland Archer, a young, popular, successful lawyer, in The Age of Innocence (1993)


Daniel Plainview, an oil conglomerate, in There will be Blood (2007)

He's really becoming the person he acted in each of his role. I can't wait to watch his other movies.

At first I didn't understand what's the hype over this hunk. As time goes by, I realize that he's such a very talented actor; he's priceless. His acting grows in me.
RIP Heath.
