10 Famous Actors Who Have Literally Never Been Bad In A Movie

2. Joaquin Phoenix

There is simply no actor like Joaquin Phoenix, a performer who makes unpredictable and exciting choices every time he goes up to bat, and so it's simply impossible to look at any one of his performances and call them bad or uninspired.

Phoenix is a rare jack of all trades who also manages to be a master of the lot, having carved out a mighty rep for himself in both mainstream fare (Gladiator, Signs, Walk the Line) and envelope-pushing artsy fare (The Master, Her, Inherent Vice, You Were Never Really Here).

And if the early reviews for Joker are anything to go by, Phoenix may well earn himself a fourth Oscar nomination for his performance as Arthur Fleck, which should confirm him as a bold risk-taker like few others.

Comb through his filmography and you won't find a single example of the man taking it easy and not trying to bring truth to whatever role he happens to be playing.
