Entertainment

Most actors consider themselves lucky to land a role in a major film once in a lifetime. But some actors are fortunate enough to appear in several successful movies in a single year. Their experience may not be typical, but it is impressive.&nbsp;Whether their films won an <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/controversial-oscar-wins-history/melissa-sartore">Academy Award</a> or were blockbusters at the box office, these actors have found success in different ways. Some won Oscars in the same year they starred in hit movies; others took their career in a new direction by finding critical acclaim in low-budget indie films.&nbsp;

Is Timothée Chalamet Having The Greatest Year Ever For An Actor?

19 Actors Who Had The Greatest Single Year Ever, Ranked

Doing What Actors Do

Pop Culture

One-hit wonders aren&#39;t a phenomenon reserved for the music world. There have been many one-hitwonder actors over the years - talented and seemingly promising young performers who quickly faded after their big break. While being remembered as a single character in a single project can undoubtedly be a challenge to parlay into a successful, long-term career, actors who had <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/talented-actors-remembered-for-one-role/michael-anderson">just one big role</a> often hold a special place in our collective heart.

&nbsp;

It&#39;s no secret that show business&nbsp;is a brutal environment, known for chewing up talented performers and spitting them out. Actors who were one-hit wonders likely experienced this shunning for themselves, relegated either to minor roles in lower-quality productions or to no roles at all. But for one, relatively brief moment, they shone brightly, giving the world a single memorable performance before their star burned out. We can bemoan their stalled careers and wonder <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/actors-who-lost-mainstream-success/jake-williams" target="_blank">what might have been</a>, or&nbsp;we can be grateful for their single-performance legacy.

What Happened To The Cast Of 'Buffy The Vampire Slayer'?

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Viewers weren't exactly sure what they were watching when It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia aired its first season in 2005.

Fans have watched the cast of It's Always Sunny age throughout the show - from Mac's weight gain and weight loss to The Waitress's hair color change, to the real life actors all seemingly marrying each other (Charlie Day and Mary Elizabeth Ellis are <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="http://www.ranker.com/list/most-surprising-hollywood-marriages/celebrity-lists?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">married to each other</a>, as are Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney).&nbsp;It's time to check out how the cast of It's Always Sunny&nbsp;aged throughout the seasons - from first gang group date to last.

Venturing into the labyrinth of the Joker's history, countless actors have donned the wide grin and signature cackle synonymous with the character. This continuing saga is a testament to the durability of the famed villain, played superbly by various talents who have dared to walk in the warped shoes of DC Comics' clown prince of crime. This exploration is a deep dive into the sea of Joker actors ranked by fan opinions.Each portrayal of the Joker offers a unique prism through which to view the notorious character. Through the lens of these talented artists, viewers are treated to a kaleidoscope of the Joker's many faces. Among the best Joker actors, they capture the essence of the character, amplifying his chaotic nature and transformative elements, while injecting their own distinctive nuances into the portrayal. Joaquin Phoenix even won an Oscar for his performance as the Joker. Each performance becomes a stand-alone benchmark, pushing the boundaries of what audiences have come to expect from this <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/crowdranked-list/best-comic-book-villains?ref=internalCrossLinking_keyword">comic book villain</a>.&nbsp;Take Heath Ledger, for example - it's hard to forget his chillingly brilliant metamorphosis into Gotham's agent of chaos in The Dark Knight. He skillfully stripped away the veneer of sanity, revealing the terrifying embodiment of anarchy beneath. Equally memorable is Mark Hamill who, armed with only his voice, crafted a Joker brimming with gleeful wickedness, capturing the character's capricious nature in the animated realm. Then there's Joaquin Phoenix who transformed into the character with such raw intensity that it felt like watching a man descend into madness.&nbsp;All Joker actors, in their respective performances, brought something truly special to the table, effectively immersing fans into the twisted psyche of the character.
