Actor with the greatest range

[Xhavenjoe]

Don't know which actor had the greatest range but as chefs go, Fanny Craddocks range was hard to beat.
What she could cook on that thing was fantastic.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman.

Never anything but credible, could be sly, vulnerable, evil and everything in between. Scent of a woman, boogie nights, mission impossible he could do serious and silly and never look less than believable

Another underated one Vincent Donofrio. A complete chameleon

Small but very good role in The talented Mr Ripley I thought.

 

[KS55]

I’m a huge admirer of his films, Sleuth being one id highlight, alongside Get Carter, Dressed to Kill and Educating Rita. When i say he plays himself I mean, to my ears/recollection, he always uses the same voice - and so in that sense doesn’t have the dexterity that Finney had for example.

Agreed Caine not in the same class as Finney, but underrated. As to the voice, he changes it quite a lot. Upper crust in Zulu, for example. That 'Caine voice' is a fiction! (Not many people know that.)

 

[TFC]

Lot of the usual suspects names as you would imagine, but I always thought it was impressive what Hugh Laurie was capable of, especially in House MD. I loved that show.

 

[City Hobgoblin]

Tony Hopkins

 

[JRockBlues]

Surely William Shatner after his space flight.

He's too late, a Russian actress, Yulia Peresild is already aboard the International Space Station which is somewhat higher than the blue dick (the rocket, not Shatner) will travel.

Always remember watching this back in the day …

 

[BigOscar]

Obviously an all time piece if shit, but Kevin spacey has played a ton of incredibly different roles very convincingly, probably helped massively by the fact he was putting on an act for his entire life.

I'm sure her imdb is comparable.

Robert Duvall played a lot of incredible roles.
