JS,Yes, I think it's a sign of the better brand of actor when they know their limitations and choose parts accordingly. It's the discrimination combined with self-knowledge that steers them into good roles that they can play effectively.
Katherine Hepburn, who was described at the time as "...running the emothional gamut all the way from A to B" eventually found her niche and did very well. For some actors like Steve McQueen, who must have had the smallest range of anyone I can think of, there would have been no career without his finding that exact niche. Today, I think Johnny Depp always chooses roles that suit him.
You're right about the great versatility of Tim Roth. I kind of pair him with another free-ranger: Gary Oldman. Those two can do Shakespeare to Sci-Fi. English actors generally seem to have a higher proportion with a larger range.
