This is a list of actors that have proved to be very versatile by playing different types of roles. The actors in question have also proved to be credible and successfull in their roles, e.g. by winning or be nominated for the Academy Award or winning other awards.

This is a list of my own opinion, so feel free to agree or disagree. I'm open to suggestions, but I will not remove any actors although others disagree.
