Russell Crowe's hair-raising performance as Hermann Goring in Nuremberg is the latest example of the veteran actor's high-risk, high-reward approach. He has a knack for taking on difficult, baggage-laden roles that could have gone spectacularly badly only to deliver the goods and make you want to stand up and yell bravo! You'll struggle to find many other actors working today with an oeuvre as eclectic, varied and downright impressive as the Wellington-born star's. Here are his 20 greatest performances.

Walton Goggins has time to play sexy DILFs on Saturday Night Live and the Grinch in Walmart's Black Friday ad, but not sit down and mess around with VATs in one of the games his hit Fallout TV show is based on. Not only has Goggins never played a Fallout game in the past. He doesn't plan to do so in the future either. I don't blame him, either. It's just really funny how emphatic he is about it.

Hi guys, so I have some good news and some bad news. Good news, we've had a full circle moment, I'm back making TikTok content in my parents' house, bad news, I can't do it in front of that lovely blue floral wallpaper anymore, due to the fact that, that room is upstairs, and I've just had my second below knee amputation. So unfortunately, those facilities are not available to me at the current moment in time, yes, so lots of unpack there for everyone involved.

Acting is like quicksilver. It's difficult to pin down exactly what makes one actor great and another merely good. As a critic, you can run the gamut of the thesaurus and it's still hard to capture a truly great performance with your pen. What, then, of an actor's whole oeuvre? How do you convey their career in a meaningful way, so mercurial is the talent, so ephemeral is the product they leave behind, especially when major parts of their career are on the stage?

Best known for his portrayal of Andre "Dre" Johnson on ABC's Black-ish, Anderson not only starred in the series but also served as executive producer. The show became a cultural touchstone, using comedy to explore themes of identity, family, and progress. His creative influence extended to spin-offs like Grown-ish and a variety of hosting roles, including To Tell the Truth and the 75th Emmy Awards.

"There is a saying about old age - 'Keep moving' - and what Clint Eastwood, 95, says: 'Don't let the old man in,'" he said. "The way to do that is to keep getting up in the morning, keep working out in the gym, keep taking your vitamins, keep taking your prescribed meds, and keep moving. Keep moving. That is the secret to it all."

The Smashing Machine, which Safdie both wrote and directed, portrays Mark (the character, as distinguished from the real-life Kerr) from the time of his first bout in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, in 1997, to 2000. The period begins with victories and growing fame-though his achievements are shadowed and threatened by substance-abuse issues and conflict with his girlfriend, Dawn Staples (Emily Blunt)-and peters out with his climactic defeat in a big-money tournament that owes its high financial stakes to his earlier success.

With EUSEXUA explained as "a love letter to the techno rave scene and how it can initiate change within," this new album "expands on the feelings that come after experiencing EUSEXUA, transmuting them into a soundtrack for the hours after the rave and extending that high into the afters," according to a press release. " Afterglow is a record steeped in the reverence of techno, but the beats now are fractured and derelict, and playful most importantly.

It's possible, maybe probable, that the harrowing events of her life helped the Oscar winner become such a great actress I was at school with Brenda Fricker - we were in the same class at Loreto, St Stephen's Green - and I remember her as a sweet-natured young girl with a halo of golden curls. She was, in my recollection, favoured by the nuns as she always won prizes at feiseanna, and shone at drama and elocution.

After graduation, I applied for jobs in New York and got hired as an investment banking analyst. When I asked my boss if I could take one acting class a week, she told me I wasn't committed enough. Another time, as Hurricane Sandy approached and courier services were suspended, she insisted I hand-deliver a contract across the city. The group head ultimately suggested we fax it instead, sparing me the trip through the storm.

The casting call landscape offers numerous opportunities for actors through various projects such as feature films and scripted shows across the U.S.

"Even after working on a hit HBO show, which did allow her to buy a house in LA, money was tight. They don't pay actors like they used to, and with streamers, you no longer get residuals."

"When I'm in that race car and I put my visor down and I drive out of that pit lane, I feel like I'm exactly where I'm supposed to be."

Despite the tough In-Ring battles, CM Punk expressed he's feeling fortunate and great in multiple aspects of his life after his recent WWE matches.

Francesca Scorsese shared a photo in her Instagram story that showed her father appearing emotional about the milestone. The image showed the 'Goodfellas' director covering his eyes with his hands.

My body was tired. And I've now just started doing some ballet, so I'm making really great decisions. It's the most amazing job in the world, a job that any actor would dream of and - because it's so good - it's strenuous. It takes a lot out of you, physically, emotionally, mentally, and so it was time.

Being self-employed is all I knew. At the time this photo was taken, I was doing my GCSE retakes and about to start my A-levels. I may have failed some exams, but I don't remember being that stressed about it.

I think what it is, is that I don't know. If I knew what it was, I might not be able to do it. I don't think it's an actable quality.

For years, Scarlett Johansson appeared to be one of Hollywood's most promising new talents, transitioning from a charming teenager to an indie star, but her mainstream roles felt mismatched.
