If we ignore a couple of real dreadful films: The Avengers, and to a less stinky degree Maid in Manhatten then this actor is one of my favorites.

Ever since his Amon Goeth in Schindler's List I've kept an eye out for him. Sunshine, English Patient, Strange Days and his brilliant and mostly unseen role in Oscar and Lucinda, End of the Affiar, Spider, Red Dragon(needed a better director), Quiz Show, Emile Bonte's Whuthering Heights.

Ben Kingsley Because he seems to EVERYTHING and dissapears into everything he does. He is not only a brilliant actor but a fine person(ditto for Ralph - it's Rafe actually - Fiennes). His Mr. Ford in the Merry Wives of Windsor was hilarious. Ghandi, Itzhak Stern - even his small turns in DAVE steal scenes.

Since I'm on the cast of Schindler's List - may as well add Liam Neeson. A tower of strength.

You wanted different names there you go.
