| Brilliant choices, but I think that one in particular is missing:
Lawrence Makoare for playing the following 3 roles in the Lord of the Rings Trilogy:
Lurtz (Leader of the Uruk Hai in Fellowship)
Gothmog (Ork General in Return of the King)
Witchking of Agmar (Leader of the Nazgul)
He should not have been overlooked.

| such as Mickey Rourke as Marv in Sin City, Dave Prowse as Darth Vader (Its still an important character and performance) and Alan Cumming, Rebecca Romjin in X-Men2. Im sure theres shit-loads more but i can't remember. Ron Pearlman was bloody ace as Hellboy! I'd have put him much higher. ... Read More

| Mickey Rooney - Breakfast at Tiffany's (a deeply offensive racist part)
Michael Caine - Sleuth (1972- but, ugh, what a horrible movie)
Eddie Murphy - The Nutty Professor
Marlene Dietrich - Witness for the Prosecution
Piper Laurie - Twin Peaks
Dave Prowse... who cares. Noone would recognize him as an actor. ... Read More

| David Prowse's performance isn't brilliant. Often, such as when Vader places his hands on his hips and leans forward whilst barking at Leia on her ship, he looks downright camp. Even the voice is hidden. James Earl Jones' voice can be as booming and commanding as Lucas wants and the audience appreciates, but missing one of the most iconic characters in film history - and getting so close with Chewbacca in the same freakin' franchise - when Prowse is equally almost the definition of a hidden perf...

| Yes you've mentioned Willem Dafoe in Shadow of the Vampire - but how can you forget Max Schreck himself? This was before Lon Chaney above as well!
I've seen many a horror film and nothing sent shivers down my spine more than Nosferatu. And this was while studying film at university after having laughed my head off at watching The Exorcist when I was 13 (as well as a lot of other supposedly 'scary' films).
And on the subject of made-up performances forgotten here - Linda Blair at 12-years-old... Read More

| Ok, Peter Mayhew is cool as Chewbacca, but come off it, he shouldn't be on this list. There's no way he's better than John Hurt in The Elephant Man. And, as someone else pointed out, where's Tim Curry in Legend. He's the best devil ever, and the only good thing about that film. ... Read More

| Interesting that everyone is talking about Andy Serkis - who has two stints doing motion capture, not prosthetic makeup - an entirely different medium. READ THE COLUMN TO THE RIGHT, FOLKS!!!
But seriously, it's an interesting list, and I have no idea why John Hurt's astonishing performance as Joseph/John Merrick was ignored. Odd. ... Read More

| Pacino and Landau above Hunter? Really? Pacino was playing a human being, and Landau shouldn't even be on the list. A fine performance, but buried? Hardly. And where was Joel Grey's Chiun from Remo Williams? I keep waitng for Joel Grey through the entire movie and didn't know I'd been watching him until the closing credits. Now THAT"S a hidden performance! Landau?!! Really? If you want to put someone without any really make up on this list it would have to be Hugh Laurie. He fool... Read More

| I'm pretty surprised that you missed this nuanced performance. Willem Dafoe is amazing and unrecognizable under layers of makeup as vampire Max Schreck. As well, except for a few exceptions most performances on this list did not garner an academy award nomination, which Dafoe was recognized with. Hopefully this is just a film that has escaped your viewing pleasure, in which case I hope you rectify that problem. ... Read More

| Eliminating Jeff Goldblum simply because the Brundlefly transformation was also physically gradual does a great disservice to his performance. His corresponding emotional transformation from man to monster was exactly what made his character so tragically poignant and memorable. A performance which I would say equals John Hurt emotionally transforming John Merrick from sideshow freak to an eloquent man of society. ... Read More
