Frank Langella
The original disco Dracula has consistently appeared in mostly thankless supporting roles, but his fortunes turned with his recent Oscar-nominated take on Richard Nixon in the film Frost/Nixon. Now I can only hope for an upcoming The Castle of Count Richard.
Ten best roles: 10) Superman Returns 9) The Caller 8) Dracula 7) The Twelve Chairs 6) Eccentricities of a Nightingale 5) Those Lips Those Eyes 4) Diary of a Mad Housewife 3) Dave 2) Starting Out in the Evening 1) Frost/Nixon
