He came in third, after Alan Rickman and James McAvoy — not bad!
3. Callum Keith Rennie
What he's been in: Literally everything. Among other things: Memento, Alphas, Battlestar Galactica, Supernatural, Tin Man, Bionic Woman, Smallville, Painkiller Jane, Blade: Trinity, The Butterfly Effect, Tru Calling, Mutant X and eXistenZ.
The worst thing he's done: Wow. It's so hard to choose. Painkiller Jane, maybe? Or no — Bionic Woman.
Why he always makes things better: He's been in a lot of great things, and a lot of drek. And he's always just totally spicy and menacing and a little bit crazy. You can put this guy in anything, and he's always nuts. Just watch this clip of him playing a totally stock villain in Highlander: The Series, and he totally rocks it.

Not bad at all and considering the other actors' CVs, he really leads. Plus he has more than nuts - he has je ne sais quois! ;)

I'm not jumping over to look, but that clip has to be Callum as Tyler King. *fans self* It's the only time I've ever cheered for the villain on Highlander.

#3 in this list - I think that's pretty awesome. And Callum totally rocks everything.

Totally spicy, heh! What a great list, and it's awesome to seen him so close to the top.

He also rocked that other villain he played on Highlander! Oh, Highlander, so crazy.

What's amazing is that Callum is always SO EXCELLENT in his many and varied roles. I especially like his homeless Carlito in 'Corner of the Eye' Outer Limits episode.

It's also very cool that he made the top five list of actors. Spicy indeed!

I'm glad he got the mention, but there's 2 problems for me:
1. I can't believe the writer said "literally everything."
2. I wish CKR wasn't cast playing crazy villains so much. He's a million times more appealing when he plays complicated, shy nice guys.
