Kristen Stewart? Calling Kristen Stewart an actress is like saying the Captain of the Goodyear Blimp plays football for the NFL! Sure s/he may be working 'at the game' but that doesn't put 'em on the field in tight pants & a helmet! Kristen the 'actress' is like the Special Ed kid who gets recognized & honored for some shock & surprise improvement. In school I saw a special needs kid get an award for using the toilet and not just pooping in a corner of the Reading Room! That is exactly the same reason why Kristen was nominated for all those awards. Every Kristen Stewart movie from Zathura to Spenser is tantamount to pooping in a corner. It's the same breath-ey delivery, pouty expressions and wooden, lost I'm about to cry everything else performance like always. There are some great actors & actresses on your list and out there doing fantastic work and yet you picked Kristen Stewart. Why? Even the clips shown are all 100% 'Twilight' even those from other projects. Were you guys paid to add her to the list. I can't think of any other reason why you'd do that. AND you put her so far up the list! You guys lost your credibility this time MsMojo.

This is the list from Ms Mojo that I've disagreed with the strongest. I even had to check to make sure it wasn't released on April 1st. Gary Oldman should be in the top 3, and so should Johnny Depp (who didn't even make the list somehow. Daniel Day-Lewis and Meryl Streep should probably should be on here somewhere, too, and possibly Keanu Reeves, Charlize Theron, or Edward Norton.
And the argument that no one knows 5 movies starring someone is a horrible argument for putting them on this list. By that logic basically every B list actor could be your number one. Random extras are also great chameleons by that logic because you only think of them as man at table never Carlos Alvarez. This is a bad list that needed more research or consideration.
Raphe Finnes? Christopher Lee? Tom Hardy? You can certainly do better than this, guys.

christian bale managed to convince a bunch of people he played Batman, when really he just put on some PJs with all the bells and whistles. Then he just played himself, an egomaniac. Robert Pattinson not only did a better job than bale as Batman, but he's also probably the best Batman/Bruce Wayne combo I've seen since Michael Keaton. No offense to Affleck, He was good, but Pattinson knocked it out of the park!
Kristen stewart playing princess DIEanna? I guess when her range is one mood, playing a dead woman is easy! :D
No arguments on Toni Collette, I remember a few movies she's been in, but otherwise, it's hard to remember it was her in others because she's so different in them.

#9 Gary Oldman is a true actor's actor
#8 he should rank MUCH higher on this list, like #2 or #1 or #3
#7 his acting is good but some of his movies like SPLIT, Xmen Dark Phoenix, and Glass, just suck.
#6 bull! #$ The only good movie she was in and only good performance she ever gave was in the movie SPENCER. She does NOT belong on this list
#5 I could watch this guy do anything and it would be fun
#4 a great actor who needs a better agent
#3 the most talentless douchebag I have ever seen in my life. Everything he touches turns to garbage. He doesn't belong on ANY screen or list
#1 she doesn't get enough credit I feel

Some what disappointing this list is. This should've been a Top 20 or 30 because you legit snubbed more talented actors such as Tom Hanks, Linda Cardellini, Ewan McGregor, Daniel Day-Lewis, Cate Blanchett, Robert DeNiro, Meryl Streep, Johnny Depp, Helena Bonham-Carter, Jack Nicholson, Dustin Hoffman, Heath Ledger, Tom Hardy, Stanley Tucci, Charlize Theron, Mark Strong, Tilda Swinton, Glenn Close, & Angela Bassett. Also, I have to disagree that James McAvoy & Kristen Stewart doesn't deserve to be on the list yet as they need more experience. Not to mention that Gary Oldman & Christian Bale should be higher on the list.

This might be the most inaccurate list Ive seen you guys make. Daniel Day Lewis is the most chameleon actor out there and hes not even mentioned! Theres one who commits to a role like he does. And wheres Robert Deniro or Leonardo DiCaprio or Johnny Depp or Meryl Streep? You literally left out the most iconic Chameleon actors or all time. yet somehow Kristen Stewart gets a spot. shes literally the same person in every move shes in! And Christian Bale and Gary Oldman should be at least in the top 5! I Am glad that Toni Collette got the recognition she deserves. shes an outstanding actress!

Can we stop lauding method acting? Truly good actors should be able to switch it on and off on cue, and most method actors only use method when they're playing a truly horribly person, so they're essentially using it as an excuse to be a dick to people. How many people use method to play a kind person? I can understand wanting to keep an accent going, but not the attitude. And drastic body changes are ridiculously dangerous and should not be lauded. Actors who already fit the profile should be playing those roles, ffs.

I can agree with SOME of this: Gary Oldman was my top thought - he is amazing in everything he does Willem DeFoe has had me stunned a few times. Another actor I would like to put forth is Vincent D'onofrio! This guy has been so many movies and shows that I didn't even know it was him. You picked Christian Bale but all him movies unless heavily made up, I can see him through it. I also nominate Doug Jones but you can't see him because he is heads to toes in make up or prosthetics!

Andy Serkis is where?
Willem Dafoe doesnt deserve his spot on the list. He plays the same person in every role. Hes always a plays by his own rules authority figure: Boondock Saints, Flight of the Intruder, The Great Wall, all basically the same guy. Considering how important being recognised in a role is, can a big name actor really be a chameleon? Especially if they dont do effects heavy movies like science fiction or fantasy films.

I was horrified at Kristin Stewart being on the list at all, especially for the Twilight movies! Id have liked to see Sean Penn on the list. Im not really a fan of his, but that makes it even more remarkable that I hardly notice him when I watch his movies. From Spicoli to Harvey Milk, I Am Samhis personality is completely lost in the roles.

It's almost like British actors and American character actors are given more opportunities to branch out, rather than be packaged as a single thing. Or, if they start out as heartthrobs, they don't get those more nuanced opportunities/roles until they are older.

This is a joke, right? You put that block of wood Kristen Stewart above Christian Bale & Gary Oldman AND left off CATE BLANCHETT & JOAQUIN PHOENIX entirely? Not to mention Meryl Streep and Robert DeNiro! I'm embarrassed for whomever put together this list.

Meryl Streep? Benedict Cumberbatch? Also a honorable mention to Harry Shum Jr. I'm not sure how many here have seen his works but he COMPLETELY transforms for every role and has a quite impressive range from rom-com and fantasy to thriller.

Daniel Day Lewis and Meryl Streep didn't even make the list, but Kristen Sewart did? And although Kate Winslet is a terrific actress, I'm not convinced she should be on this particular list, either. At least, not above Lewis or Streep.

While I agree with all the picks, I think Oldman and Bale should be #1 & #2 (no particular order, they're equally good, maybe Oldman as #1 due to his longer career), with Dafoe as #3.

Charlize Theron in Monster. It was so hard to believe it was her playing that awful Aileen. Also, I wouldn't be true fan if I didn't mention Johnny Depp.

Johnny Depp should be #1. No other actor could've played all those characters in Tim Burton movies like him. Not to forget the Disney characters as well.

No. Kristen Stewart is THE WORST actress on this list. how can the same character played with the same lack of any emotion or depth be a chameleon?

The best chameleon actors hide so well that they don't tend to make the list. So we are looking for Vincent D'Onofrio and Billy Bob Thornton!
