Underworld Series (2003-2016)
The Underworld films turned the vampire into a leather-clad action hero across five entries. As a whole it is more than the sum of its uneven parts.
Actor: Bill Nighy
Bill Nighy worked for decades in British theatre and television before Love Actually made him famous at fifty-three, playing an ageing rock star in a performance of complete self-awareness.
The physical style, the hand gestures and the slight recoil from his own sentences, is entirely distinctive and largely deliberate.
Pirates of the Caribbean buried him under motion capture as Davy Jones, and Living brought a Best Actor nomination at seventy-three for a remake of Kurosawa’s Ikiru.
