3. Stephen Root

Sometimes the greatest actors are the ones with none of the glory. It is likely that Stephen Root will never be the lead in a film; he is the character actor's character actor. The guy works like crazy, not only in film and television, but voice work, too. Go ahead and look at how much he's done in 2012 alone. Go ahead, look. I'll wait. Ok. Now stop bitching about how you don't have enough time to do your laundry and go to the grocery store on your day off. The closest this crazy son of a bitch has had to a day off was when he played Milton on vacation at the end of Office Space.
