20 Essential Movie Performances That Will Define 2015

19. Arnold Schwarzenegger - Wade (Maggie)

Release Date: May 8 The Movie: An indie horror drama in which a zombie plague ravages the American Midwest, causing a teenage girl (Abigail Breslin) to become infected. The Role: Arnie plays her father, Wade, who watches his daughter transform and tries to care for her, and of course, is faced with an inevitably difficult question about what to do when she turns fully. Why It'll Define 2015: Because this is a total left-turn for Arnie, an actor who has never exactly been heralded for his dramatic chops. If this is half as good as the trailer looks, then it could prove that the Austrian Oak is capable of more than most ever expected. Plus, the whole old man look (especially that beard) totally suits him.
