2. Bryan Cranston
Films of 2012: John Carter, Red Tails, Madagascar 3: Europe's Most Wanted, Rock of Ages, Total Recall, Argo Take into consideration that Bryan Cranston not only appeared in six films in 2012 but also starred in TV hit "Breaking Bad" - that's commitment to your job. The fact of the matter is that Cranston is an extraordinary actor. He was barely recognizable in the underrated "John Carter" with all the CGI and was able to shine in films that did not match the value of Cranston's talents. His best performance came from the best film from all those he appeared in: "Argo" features a fantastic cast that included John Goodman and Alan Arkin, and Cranston contributes by giving dimensions to what could have been a dull role as the office supervisor to the CIA mission. In 2013, Cranston will be in the final half season of "Breaking Bad."
