3. J.K. Simmons
His most notable film roles include The Ref (1994), The Cider House Rules (1999), Spider-Man 1-3 (2002-2007), The Ladykillers (2004), Juno (2007), Up In The Air (2009).
He also played police psychiatrist Emil Skoda on Law & Order from 1997-2010.
Simmons’ on-screen persona is usually very likable, regardless of the fact that he is able to transform and adapt to different writers and directors. Even when we don’t like his character, as is the case in Whiplash, we are drawn in by his incredible performance.
