@kalel You do realise that you're coming across as a bit of Simon Quinlank. Anyway we're looking at things from a different perspective. My tolerance limit for anything overly 'intellectual' in movies is set at 'Scheiss dem fenster'.

Phillip Seymour Hoffman would be my pick for current top male actor, and has that range from scary (Happiness, Doubt, The Master) to goofy and lovable (Boogie Nights), plus that completely distinctive screen presence that puts him up in the top tier with the real giants.
This post is unsuitable for those with a high rumour-sensitivity.
LB, you really are a massive geek.

That's typesetting.

Isn't Fassbender the current flavour of the month? Now he's managed to properly shake off his Irish accent (seeing Magneto, a German Jew, occasionally slip into a bit of blarney was hilarious) he'll probably start appearing in everything going.
What is the opinion on James McEvoy? I quite like him in all the stuff I have seen. Not sure of his range but he could be amazing in a few years time. His Xavier was the best thing about First Class.

There were a list of candidates for a part and they were discussing everything from whether their accent or their nose would put off a certain demographic.
The real typecasting that goes on in Hollywood is more about categories. There was a Louie Theroux about it once (or someone like that) and it was quite amazing. They literally go through piles of actors photos and just go "Leading man romantic, leading man action, best friend of leading man romantic, villain's top henchman villain, femme fetale thriller, period drama leading woman" etc etc.
So actually most of the people we're talking about are typecast, even if they show a good range in their acting.

Also, I was watching McAvoy on Graham Norton the other day and his Scottish accent isn’t massively broad, so you wonder when he will get to use it. Even in all the voice overs he does hes never managed to bust it out.

Ben Kingsley is a baddie in just about every film he's been in these days. He's just got that look about him.
