He makes memorable, interesting, complex performances outta roles most Hollywood actors would portray as one-dimensional and boring. Take Ford vs. Ferrari for instance. He's wayy more compelling than Matt Damon. He's definitely better than Leo Dicaprio. Imagine Bale in Wolf of Wall Street. He'd actually make that movie pretty great. Leo is always Leo for the most part. Bale transforms.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

It does take some acting chops to play Jason Bourne but it’s not blowing anybody’s minds really and it’s nothing we haven’t seen before. Also it isn't hard to imagine a different actor making the role more interesting. I can't think of one Bale performance I can imagine a different actor making more compelling.

That dude who looks like Philip Seymour Hoffman.
Tom Cruise

No shame in any of those. Jake is definitely near the top for me. Plemons May be top 25 also.
