6. Ben Foster
It's a horrific thought to think that someone as talented as Foster hasn't been brought out more in full-length features, yet. Seriously, could this guy be more interesting? After adapting a flat, cliched character in David Slade's 30 Days of Night and turning him into the creepily, haunting mysterious stranger in about seven full minutes of screen time, I've been begging for Foster to do more villainous work. He's quite convincing in 3:10 to Yuma, as well, but I feel Electro would give him all the free reign that this actor specializes in. If he can work wonders with small characters and provide the dramatic turn that he did in The Messenger, I can't imagine what he'd do with an all-out, crazed and eccentric manifestation of lightning.

You can follow him on Twitter to watch him talk to people you didn't know exist. Oh, and Daredevil is quite the big deal around here (my head).
