7. Nicolas Cage
(Ghost Rider, Ghost Rider 1 and 2/Big Daddy, Kick-Ass/Dr. Tenma, Astro Boy)
I love Nicolas Cage. I love him so much.
Like, if you're bored and you need a trash movie that is SO MUCH FUN to watch, go check out Knowing. It's awesome and bad and on Netflix. You have nothing to lose. But in film, Cage has only given great performances.
He was the best part of both Ghost Rider movies. Those movies weren't the best, but he was so great in them. Especially Spirit of Vengeance, which was an actual fun movie that still I kind of like a lot.
He was also the best part of Kick-Ass, giving a faux-Adam West turn as Big Daddy, a big improvement over the original. Also, the film leaving out the twist of his origin was a smart move, as it would have made him totally unlikable.
He also popped up as Dr. Tenma, Astro Boy's father/inventor in his 2009 animated movie.
SPECIAL BONUS: This movie fell apart, but Cage was also supposed to be Superman in Tim Burton's Superman Lives. Too bad about that; I kinda would have wanted to see this one happen. It would have been weird as hell, but probably pretty fascinating too.

6. Jeffrey Dean Morgan
(The Comedian, Watchmen/Thomas Wayne, Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice/Franklin Clay, The Losers/Negan, The Walking Dead)
Jeffrey Dean Morgan! I like him!
And I especially like him in his comic book roles. Unfortunately, his part in Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice was kind of a nothing role, but he looked the part of a young Thomas Wayne. Given more of a chance to do something, I think he'd be a truly great part of a better movie.
He was the best part of Watchmen for certain. Seriously, Morgan as The Comedian was one of the best casting decisions of all time. He looked like he just stepped off the page.
He was also wonderful AF as Franklin Clay, the leader of the titular squad in The Losers.
And I’ve heard that he's awesome as Negan, and nailed his big scene from the comics. Swing for the fences, dude. I'm sorry for how insensitive that joke may be to viewers of the show, but I read the comics, my dude, and that death happened years ago for me. Read that issue over Christmas at my grandparents house. I made a yelping noise.
