Actors who just "play themselves"

[Shiny]

Natalie Portman is an amazing actress though. gtfo and watch The Professional.

I have! And based on everything else I've seen, I have to assume it was an accident, or amazing direction. So I'm just going to ST[F]O. StayTheFudgeOn.

Having seen other many other people work with children, I can say you can't really direct children. They either have it or they don't. She was also really good in Black Swan and V for Vendetta sans the "okay" British accent that didn't really bother me.

Samuel L. Jackson - I love him but he seriously cannot play anything other than angry black man scorned. More of a typecasting problem than an acting problem probably.

The best part of this is he's the exact opposite irl.
