Actors with the best comeback....

And this is the final pick for actor with the best comeback.  I'm still stunned by his complete "180" in the eyes of the public.  Brilliant stuff...

I wouldn't have believed it if someone hadn't pinched me during the film.  I've always been unimpressed by Robert Downey Jr.'s performances.  Nothing stands out as great.  Perhaps, his music video for Elton John's "I Want Love" was my favorite.  Mainly because he wasn't speaking.  But Robert outdid himself.  I look forward to seeing the rest of the Iron Man trilogy.

Saw this film in theaters and got the chills.  Had to add his performance into actor with the best comeback...

I know everyone was watching the late Heath Ledger in Dark Knight, but I believe that Christian Bale was spectacular in this role.  Fantastic change from his time with Newsies - and don't get me started with his anorexic-like role in The Machinist.  Shield your eyes if you have a weak stomach...

Yet another actor that had a great comeback - earning him an Oscar for Best Performance!

Daniel Day Lewis won the Oscar for Best Actor in There Will Be Blood.  I haven't enjoyed a performance from him since his stint in Last of the Mohicans.  Glad to see Lewis in a film with a bigger budget.

Here is my 4th choice for actor with the best comeback...

This guy graduated from his Hercules roots and preferred the affection of a real-life doll.

Ryan Gosling, in Lars and the Real Girl, played a charmingly boyish character.  I'm glad he's doing film more regularly instead of television.

Here are my choices for the actors with the best comebacks in recent years... 

Let's start off with the man who has traded in his T Bird leather jacket for some pantyhose:

John Travolta, pictured on the left in Hairspray, went against typecast by donning a wig and fat suit.  I'd hate to see if Travolta did any method acting during filming.  Good comeback - not stellar - just good.
