There are actors that are able to bring their own thing...and maybe it has to do with humor, I dunno, but I like it. Kevin Spacey is brilliant- Swimming with Sharks, LA Confidential, Usual Suspects, The Ref,AB- his intelligence shows, and that trumps Brad Pitt anyday. I remember first seeing him as a psycho criminal on the old late night TV staple "Wiseguy",....that dates me, eh?!
I'll second the Kevin Kline and Christopher Walken mentions, and add John Cusack- High Fidelity, Grosse Pointe Blank, Being John Malkovich, Bullets over Broadway,...he's been in some great movies and I'll also add his Fidelity cameo star, Tim Robbins. Loved The Player.
