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

3. Cate Blanchett

Cate Blanchett is pretty much the physical embodiment of acting range, touting the look of a 1950s starlet yet totally unafraid to get her hands dirty and change-up her style for a role.

Since coming to prominence with her Oscar-nominated turn in 1998's Elizabeth, Blanchett has tackled mainstream blockbuster fare (The Lord of the Rings, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Thor: Ragnarok) and the art-house realm (Notes on a Scandal, I'm Not There) alike with an equal fearlessness.

She's such a singular presence in her movies that it's really tough to imagine her ever going off-key or just taking the easy route, even when the material isn't sufficiently fleshed-out.

About as much a picture of dignity as you'll find in Hollywood, Blanchett always carries herself gracefully and, even in films that didn't quite work, has always held her own.
