Poll: What actor surprised you in a role you didn't think they could pull off?

[QUOTE=Trunk]
Hayden Christensen in Shattered Glass. Any performance that makes you want to crawl into the screen and just beat a guy in the face with your fists until your fists are broken has to be worth something, right?

Hell, I felt that way during the last two Star Wars flicks…

;), kind of…

Regina King in Boondocks. She has done a good job

As long as I’m sitting here watching On Demand series I’ve never seen, let me add Timothy Oliphant in Deadwood. Everything I’ve seen him in, he’s been kind of an earlier generation pretty boy / bad boy / easy role type guy. But he’s great in Deadwood.

I have to disagree. IMHO he is the weakest actor on the show. Every other single actor that so much as crosses the screen is flawless. Ian McShane, Robin Weigert, Powers Boothe, Brad Dourif and William Sanderson all make this show spectacular. Olyphant’s Bullock has two gears, pissed and more pissed. Anyone can act mad all the time.

I swear he was added simply to attract more women to the show.
