-I can only think of Robert De Niro and Martin Scorsese in “Shark Tale.” Don Lino is the scariest mob boss to date. Lino: “I tell you what’s what, and what?” Sykes: “What?” Don Lino: “What what?” Sykes: “What what nothin’. You said what first.” Don Lino: “I didn’t say what first.” Sykes: ‘You said "and then what?’ and I said "what?’’ Don Lino: ‘No, I said “What, what?” as in “What, what?”’ [pause] Sykes: …‘You said what first.’ -maybe Johnny Depp in “Sweeney Todd” ---

Jamie Foxx in _Ray._ Chadwick Boseman and Tommy Lee Jones in _42_. As mentioned, Daniel Day-Lewis in _Lincoln,_ but also Jones in the same film. ---

I don’t think Tommy Lee Jones was in _42_, was he? If you meant Harrison Ford, I would agree. That was Han Solo? He did a good job. ---

Jim Carrey as Andy Kaufman in “Man on the Moon”.

Christian Bale in “The Fighter.” I didn’t even realize it was him until I saw his name in the credits. ---

> [@Hampshire](#): > > Samuel L. Jackson seems to always be himself but I liked that he tried to play an actual character in Django. In Django he had the make-up to help, but still Stephen’s script had some of the characteristics of “stereotype SLJ man”. I thought he “disappeared” better in _Fury_. Playing a weary, tired character that just wants to be left alone. Felt very different from his other roles. ---

> [@The\_Second\_Stone](#): > > Phillip Seymore Hoffman and Meryl Streep both in Doubt. This could have come off as very contrived. It really worked. Meryl Streep was awesome in that. ---

Linda Hunt as Billy Kwan in _The Year of Living Dangerously_. At no time during the movie did I ever even suspect she wasn’t male. Note that her character was not trans; the actress was playing a male character. She got the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress, but, given her performance, I always though she should have gotten Best Supporting Actor. ---

> [@teela\_brown](#): > > Meryl Streep in _Julie and Julia_. After about five seconds of astonishment, I never doubted that I was watching Julia Child come to life again. And now, when I picture episodes of Julia’s cooking show, in my mind’s eye I see Meryl Streep as Julia standing in front of the stove. Absolutely.
