he even has the same clothes in several movies

It seems he always plays similar characters, but I don't think he can be said to be "playing himself." His characters tend to be hapless schlemiels, but he is actually pretty thoughtful and erudite in real life. (TBH - I have only seen a few of his movies.)

Comedian Rich Hall mentioned that not only is he the same character, but the plots of his movies are all the same. "He's a fighter pilot, maybe the best damn fighter pilot. Then he has a crisis of confidence, meets a girl, and gets his mojo back. He's a cocktail waiter, maybe the best damn cocktail waiter, until he has a crisis of confidence, but then he meets a girl and gets his mojo back. He's a race car driver, maybe the best damn race car driver..."

Absolutely always plays himself (and I wouldn't want it any other way)

It works for him though, so I keep watching

I know it is not his fault, but his nose looks like a penis and I cannot, for the life of me, think about anything else when I see him. So, I don't know, really, what kind of actor he is.

He has shown he has versatility. He just doesn't want to use it. Fair play.

His comedy roles are all identical but when he branches out to dramas he shows his range.

"it's NOT a tumor!"

He's not charming and also not versatile.

Have you seen him in Maniac?

I love the choices.

Normally I would agree but I saw her in "Underwater". Movie was totally meh but she was cool in it.

Why isn’t there a “just plays himself” option? Are we giving Bill Murray an out?

She always plays the same character but I hope it's not herself.

What?! I don't think I've seen her play same character in any of her movies. She's all range. I get people don't like the person I suppose, but she's a very good actor.

The man is an amazing actor, yes we all know he likes one particular curse word, but all of his roles are different unique characters.

Nah, Will Smith has range. Have you seen Pursuit of Happiness?

I don't feel like she really belongs on this list.

I've only seen her in "pretty girl" roles.

I think fat actresses get screwed over with the roles they're given. They're either the funny fat chick, or the wise bestfriend/momma character.

He is possibly the most talented actor working today. Had his personal issues not overshadowed his career, he would already be considered on par with Brando, Nicholson, etc and I think he will be eventually, but, if you really want to see him.

One of my favorite Onion articles was titled something like, "Director of new Zach Galifianakis movie disappointed to find out he's just a potato with a crayon beard." But I think he's pretty great.

His characters are always so intense and a little off-balance that it makes me wonder about his actual personality. (I had a friend who is an actor, and he was so caught up in the character he was playing that it took a long time to see who he really was.)

If you only know him from The Office, just watch Foxcatcher and you'll see why he doesn't deserve a place on this list at all.

Another amazing actor who doesn't deserve to be on this list.

Really? I don’t even like him, but there’s no denying his talent. The problem is he’s been calling it in for years. He’s just lazy

Have you not seen him in The Amityville Horror remake or in Buried? Range!

Her face is always the same.

Watch Being John Malkovich

I think it's funny how Kristen Stewart is hated by so many people for showing no emotions while acting, and Keanu is universally adored despite showing even less emotions while acting.
