6. Ben Kingsley
Ben Kingsley has been doing the rounds on television alongside Tom Hiddleston and Mark Strong in an advert for Jaguar for much of 2014. If you're sick of the sight of him after that advert, not to worry. Kingsley is so different in some of his other roles that chances are you won't make the connection. Of course, Tom Hooper's advert is not entirely inaccurate. Some of Kingsley's most famous work does echo the debonair exterior (with an underlying, dormant ruthlessness) that he conveys in the Jag advert. These roles include Don Logan in "Sexy Beast" (which earned him an Oscar nomination), mob boss Mayor Lanksy in "Bugsy", and Iron Man antagonist Trevor Slattery in "Iron Man 3". Yet Kingsley has been a man of many faces over an illustrious career spanning forty years. Some of these roles have earned him critical acclaim, most notably his role in "Gandhi" as the eponymous pacifist. It won him an Oscar, with his performance as former Iranian army officer Massoud Behrani in "House of Sand and Fog" also earning him a nomination. But Kingsley has wandered far from prestigious roles such as these, playing spoof villain in "The Dictator" and even taking up the role of Hood in "Thunderbirds". He also donned a long grey beard for his comedy role as Guru Tugginmypudha in "The Love Guru". But the less said about this the better. It probably shouldn't have been mentioned at all to be honest.
