Actor: Hugh Jackman

Hugh Jackman played Wolverine across nine films over seventeen years, which is the longest any actor has held a superhero role, and he was a last-minute replacement cast three weeks into shooting the first one.

Logan is where it pays off, playing the character old, dying and out of options, and it is the only film of its kind to receive a screenplay nomination.

He is a serious musical theatre performer, won a Tony for The Boy from Oz, and was nominated for Les Misérables.

The Prestige and Prisoners show the dramatic range, and he hosted the Academy Awards, which he did better than most film actors manage.
