For a lot of younger moviegoers, this man came to their attention when he played the main villain in the first Spider-Man movie, but to the older viewers he has been around for much longer than that!

Hopefully, we'll continue to see a lot of him throughout the next few years.
Name This Actor!
Known for putting a lot of preparation into his roles, this is a man that will not stop for anything, taking method acting to a whole new level. He has refused to be typecast by showing that he can inhabit so many different roles through his rigorous preparation that he can essentially audition for anything that is going. This is a privilege that a lot of people in showbiz wish they could say that they had, so we imagine he's happy with how things have turned out.
Name This Actor!
Known primarily for his work in action movies, this is an actor that has struggled to have his talent shine through a lot of the problems he has had in his personal life.

His personal life aside, he continues to find work in Hollywood.

Despite various troubles in his personal life, this man has managed to find work for decades in Hollywood.

Many people in the younger generations will know him for his work on Milk, a movie that follows the real life of a man fighting for equality.
Name This Actor!
Another actor that is known for taking the method approach, he will attempt to fully inhabit a character before the cameras have even started rolling. Before the set is closed and the movie is finished, he even gets those around him to treat him as if he actually is the character he is playing. This has led him to do some pretty odd things that no other actor would do, but it has also led to him being known as one of the greatest actors of his generation.

We're yet to see what sort of legacy he will leave behind, but he is definitely moving onto the right track at this point in time!
Name This Actor!
He may have been acting for quite a while, he's only really made himself known to modern audiences for the past decade. While more serious roles have traditionally been how he would make his money, the lure of two major roles in separate superhero movies has called him over the past few years.

Name This Actor!
Coming from a family of actors can make it difficult to stand out from the crowd, but that isn't a problem this actor has ever had to worry about.

Both a musician and an actor, this man likes to keep the two sides of his showbiz life separate, while also keeping his personal cards close to his chest as well.

After working with Quentin Tarantino, loads of people in the US felt that this actor could bring something unique to their next movie that other actors just couldn't. Moving away from where he had started out must have been difficult for him, and yet he was able to show that he could make things work for him in Hollywood as well. Showbiz welcomed this man with open arms, and after seeing him in Django Unchained, it's easy to see why they did just that!
Name This Actor!
Any actor that plays James Bond at any point in their life will inevitably be remembered for that, no matter what else they may do throughout their time in showbiz. This is both a good and a bad thing, as it forces the actor to really think about how it is that they're going to be seen by Hollywood and the public for the rest of their working life. This man clearly felt it was worth it, and hasn't struggled to find work since!
Name This Actor!
The internet is an odd thing, a relatively new thing as well, so it must have been pretty wild for this man to find out that he's essentially an internet meme at this point. While it's weird, we can't help but think that this guy probably quite likes it. There's nothing better than free advertising, and with every corner of the internet constantly talking about this guy, it makes sense that some people are going to want to hire him...

Famous for performing his own stunts, this man is a tireless worker that will put in the time no matter what. He has gathered a lot of scars during his time on the big screen, but he is constantly conquering new markets and is genuinely beloved to so many people.

Name This Actor!
He may have been around for a long time, but most people didn't really know about him until he made his way into the Marvel Comic Universe. Just like when he was lesser known, he has been using his fame to try and bring important matters to the forefront, especially those that concern supposed equality in the US, which he argues may not be as equal as some first think. His movies and his activism are both interesting to watch.
Name This Actor!
Wow... Of all the people in this quiz, this has to be the actor that has had the most ups and downs throughout his life. We would like to say that there's no chance that he will be able to make yet another comeback in the world of showbiz, but after what he has been through, we're not so sure. We can only assume that this man will never run out of the luck that has served him so well!
Name This Actor!
Not only does this man act in a variety of films, he is also famed for having a hugely impressive voice. Starting out in comedy has meant that he has been typecast somewhat, but if anything he has more versatility than many other actors working in Hollywood at the moment. Django Unchained was a huge hit for him, and more recently he had a supporting role in the phenomenal Baby Driver. Expect big things from him as he gets even older.
Name This Actor!
While he may be best known among a certain group of movies fans as The Dude, he has worked on a lot of different movies in his time, and continues to do so! He has gone on record that he would love to play The Dude again in a sequel to the Coen Brother's classic The Big Lebowski. We doubt he'll be upset about being typecast as such a great character. He probably hopes it follows him for the rest of his life!
Name This Actor!
He may have started out as a stand up comedian, but this man quickly moved into Hollywood. It took a long time before he moved away from comedy, and while he has done a handful of good drama movies, he has always been a better comedic actor than a dramatic one. That doesn't change the fact that this man refuses to be typecast no matter what. He has been using the method style of acting to get the most out of himself.
Name This Actor!
Despite the fact that many people have seen proof that this man can really act when he wants to, most of the time he chooses to write and star in comedy movies that get very bad reviews. Those who have seen his acting in more dramatic roles will know that he has more to offer, but we don't think that audiences are going to get many more chances to see it. We can only assume that he enjoys the comedy movies more!
Name This Actor!
After a rocky start in the showbiz underworld, this man was able to work his way into the mainstream. Starting out in action movies and dramas like Rocky, this is an actor that knows how to bring exactly what the audience wants. Working mainly in big budget features, this guy has done it all, and we don't see him turning away from acting at any point in the near future, so he'll be entertaining us for a very long time.
Name This Actor!
Primarily a comedic actor, this is a man that has worked in both television and film. There is no end to what this man will do, and while we imagine it will mostly be comedy for the rest of his life, he likes the oddball stuff at times. We wouldn't be surprised if the guy found himself in mainly dramatic roles as he got older, showing the world that he always had more to offer than he was letting on.
Name This Actor!
One of the most versatile actors in this quiz, this man has more than a lot of other actors at his age, with numerous roles under his belt and the ability to throw himself at various projects. Starting out small on the television, he has now been seen on the big screen many times. He enjoys desperate and bleak characters, the sort that have very little to lose and will therefore act in a very interesting way throughout the movie.
Name This Actor!
While this man may have started out as a wrestler, it doesn't change the fact that he has managed to carve out a respected level of clout in the world of Hollywood since he turned his talent towards acting. His roles on the big screen have brought in a lot of money for people and we can't see the people at the top stopping him from trying for some bigger roles as long as he keeps making us all laugh!
Name This Actor!
Getting to play Wolverine is not a small victory, and we know for a fact that many actors would love to have got that job. However, not only is this man sculpted like a superhero, but he also has the ability to sing with the best of them.
