So, what are your favorite characters and roles in any movie. Not necesarily because they are a great and likable character, but because the actor/actress did such an amazing job portraying the character. Mine are:

Brad Pitt as Jeffrey Goines in 12 monkeys. That movie is what made Pitt a great actor in my mind.

  Also Bruce Willis is great in this movie

Malcom MdDowell as Alex DeLarge in A Clockwork Orange

Laurence Fishbourne as Morpheus in The Matrix

Leonardo Dicaprio ad Billy Costigan and Matt Damon as Sergeant Sullivan in The Departed
