Carell was hardly on the scrap heap after 2005’s The 40-Year-Old Virgin, but it’s telling that the same year saw him take on the Gervais role in the US version of The Office and make it his own.
Sadly his Hollywood quality has subsequently dipped.
I don't know why William Shatner is in this line up, he wasn't really a film thespian to begin with granted the first thing he was in according to imdb was a film but the Shatner is a TV actor.
Maybe he wasn't included as he wasn't a big a massive star before hand, but I think Timothy Olyphant deserves a mention.
Before his flawless performance as Seth Bullock in Deadwood, Olyphant was a in Scream 2, Go, Rock Star, Gone in 60 Seconds and A Man Apart - to name but a few.
Not exactly the CV you would expect from an actor cast to play the multifaceted, tough-as-old-boots sheriff of Deadwood.
Wouldn't you call that a reinvention?
