guys don't sleep on his Burn After Reading performance.

While he may not necessarily disappear into roles, I think hes proven to be a really strong character actor who happens to look like a leading man, as disparate roles in The Tree of Life, TAoJJ, Inglourious Basterds and Burn After Reading would prove (I agree though that his part in 12 Years was jarring). However, with the right part like Fight Club or Moneyball, he's also capable of being a charismatic screen presence who can carry a film.

I loved him in Snatch. His pikey accent reminds me of how my born-and-raised-Newfoundland relatives speak.

"d'ya like dags?"

5. Seven - A grounded role compared to the others, but he has his idiosyncracies.
4. Inglourious Basterds - Campy, comical and indulgent badass.
3. Snatch - Such a unique little role. His accent is on point.
2. The Assassination of Jesse James... - He breathes life into a mythologized character.
1. Fight Club - Such an iconic role. I don't know if it would have worked with anyone else.
