10 Actors You Never Noticed In Movies

10. Gary Oldman - Hannibal

Let's kick this list off with an actor who evidently loves disappearing as far into his characters as humanly possible - and ideally, it'll involve a metric ton of makeup too.

We're talking of course about the great Gary Oldman, who's never seen a makeup chair he didn't love spending hours sitting in. 

And for all of his many stunning transformations over the years, the one that manages to sneak past most people? Mason Verger in Hannibal.

Oldman underwent a radical makeup job to portray Verger, a surviving victim of Hannibal Lecter (Anthony Hopkins) with a severely disfigured face. 

As a result, all of Oldman's most recognisable facial features are totally concealed underneath the scar prosthetics, aided by Verger's near total lack of lips and eyelids. 

Oldman spent five hours per day in the makeup chair to become Verger, yet because the actor had a billing dispute with the studio during production, he ultimately requested to be uncredited for his performance, making it even trickier for audiences to initially figure out who they were looking at.

His credit was ultimately restored for Hannibal's home video release, though.
