defining male actors / period we’ve made
our choices based on a combination of
their commercial success their
box-office scores their productivity
their awards and how they helped set the
tone and raise the standard in Hollywood
for the era let the games begin
number 10 Tom Hardy some bad I want to
make it 9 to start he’s sharp and he’s
so now Tom Hardy has really established
himself within the past few years after
angrily announcing himself onto the
scene in the title role of Bronson I’ll
give you the magic in a a major part as
aims and inception followed in 2010 and
parties been living in a cinematic dream
since then mustn’t be afraid to dream a
little bigger darling

everyone in between nice our name is set
to take over from Mel Gibson in the Mad
Max remake Hardy’s headed for big big
things if I go to Paris I want your word
that you will get arena back I don’t
care who you have to train and I am out
number 9 Bryan Cranston that’s right
after relative success in Malcolm in the
Middle
Malcolm special where do you think that
came from and gaining global recognition
in Breaking Bad Bryan Cranston has
confirmed himself as one of the top
actors working today we couldn’t be more
grateful since wow in US is Walter White
he landed top billing in 2014’s Godzilla
and has been tapped for many more major
parts in the future we have got to do
something and I am open to suggestion
before international superstardom had
truly set in Cranston also had a part to
play in 2012 Argo as well as 2011 s
Drive six Americans get caught playing
movie make-believe with the CIA at the
airport and executed it’s a national
embarrassment they are calling the
operation number 8 Channing Tatum
we can’t do this right now I got it we
can’t be here all night he can play the
romantic lead the action hero lead and
the comedian mr. Tatum has rapidly
become one of Tinseltown’s top drawers
and one of their finest specimens with
meticulously maintained good looks he
had us bawling in Dear John biting our
nails in White House down and breaking
out in fits of laughter during 21 Jump
Street
in college he was an athlete but now
Channing’s a champion actor as well
carry the two changing its atomic eyes
turn her into a radioactive spider Q
science nice number seven Jonah Hill you
okay
finish it my Pez Tatum’s partner in
crime Jonah Hill has established himself
as one of the funniest faces in all of
film the magic that was me
apparently I didn’t pass the written
exam or the physical exam or the mental
health exam whatever that means leading
roles in the watch and this is the end
mean that Hill’s hilariously sarcastic
brand of comedy has become a silver
screened standard got a master’s in
every level I understand every level but
while many try to follow Jonah just does
it best
what’s more impressive is that he’ll
still has more to give Rahl’s in
Moneyball and the wolf of Wall Street
are proof that he’ll pioneer for years
to come it’s me and Jonah Hill from
Moneyball I Londa that Cynthia number
six Christoph Waltz man you a
four-syllable analysis London
sohe shocked shitless secretly bluffin
you may be best known as the supporting
actor but there’s nothing second-rate
about this guy’s performances you
paraphrasing a tad that was a genuine
gist
when Christoph Waltz and Quentin
Tarantino get together it seems the
Academy Award is as good as one oh
that’s a bingo is that the way you say
that’s a bingo
in 2009 Walt picked up the Oscar for his
portrayal of Hans Landa in Inglourious
Basterds and in 2012 he repeated the
feat by playing dr. King Schultz in
Django Unchained
I’m dr. King Schultz this is my horse
Fitz he has had other successes as well
but we’re all waiting for the next time
he receives a phone call from Quentin
you shall bring them underneath your
floats aren’t you yes
I talk to me the areas where they’re
hiding number five
ryan gosling that’s right a former
Mickey Mouse Club er Gosling has grown
into one of the 21st century’s top stars
2011 was the Canadians big year in 12
months he managed to rack up three major
movies and three diverse roles goslings
the lovable ladies man in Crazy Stupid
Love he’s all violence and fast cars and
drive and he’s portraying the political
in the Ides of March this is it’s my
life do you talking about by 2012 he had
been compared to George Clooney and
Marlon Brando and that says everything
about his talent
seriously it’s like your Photoshop
number for Joseph gordon-levitt room in
myself gordon-levitt dropped out of
college to pursue a career in acting and
we’re sure glad he did the former child
star is now an all-out superstar
a role as Arthur in Inception was a
career-defining step up the ladder and a
part alongside Christian Bale’s Batman
in the Dark Knight Rises propelled the
californian a few rungs further Bruce
Wayne billionaire orphan we used to make
up stories about human gordon-levitt
starred in looper in 2012 and time
traveled his way to the highest heights
of Fame
number three Michael Fassbender the
object icon solution can you star in
this key stepping on to the podium and
wearing the bronze medal particularly
handsomely Michael Fassbender has proven
a fairly fast learner when it comes to
international acting success what do you
expect pre-2010 roles in 300 and
inglorious basterds provided him with a
springboard costume but view her he
first ceased earthen and post 2010 parts
in x-men first class Prometheus and 12
years a slave have showcased him in all
his trickery
at his age Fassbender isn’t quite a
fledgling actor but he has a fantastic
future ahead of him seeing as I may be
rapping on the door momentarily I must
say damn good stuff sir
number two Bradley Cooper you ready to
do this
collecting the silver award Bradley
Cooper is another for whom there seems
to exist few Jarl limitations or do it
he’s just not that into you and the
hangover you might have had him typecast
as the fetching funny man
in other words forget everything however
although he has been hung over two more
times since then Cooper can do more than
comedy I wasn’t I wasn’t wired just
clear I knew what I needed to do and how
to do it limitless was liked but silver
linings playbook and American hustle
they were loved if I wanted to bother
you if I really wonderful bother you
this is what I do I was trying to Bob
that’s what I would do Cooper has
collected Award nominations of plenty
and it’s only a matter of time before he
gets his hands on the trophies

number one Matthew McConaughey give me
if this list has proven anything it’s
this in order to achieve success the
modern-day actor must be a versatile one
apparently this guy has versatility to
spare until recently he had largely been
rom coming his way to recognition the
woman is driving me crazy but with a
role in the wolf of Wall Street and an
oscar-winning performance in Dallas
buyers club many have dubbed the 2010s
