Michael Fassbender (Jonah Hex)
Michael Fassbender is a top German-Irish actor who has appeared in a number of highly-acclaimed independent movies and blockbusters. These include the likes of Inglourious Basterds, A Dangerous Method, 12 Years a Slave, and Frank. He has also appeared in television shows like Band of Brothers and Hex.
However, in 2010, he was totally wasted as a supporting character in the awful Jonah Hex movie. He played a bowler hat-wearing, tattooed, psychopathic Irishman named Burke – and he did about as well as could be expected with such an inane role.
He has since been far better utilized in a comic book franchise, as Erik Lehnsherr, aka Magneto, in two movies in the X-Men franchise – a role he will reprise in 2016’s X-Men: Apocalypse. He has been fantastic as the younger replacement for the undeniably brilliant Ian McKellen, who had previously played the older version of the character.
