First choice is easy:
Gary Sinise - he was Lieutenant Dan after all!!

Jeremy Irons - primarily for Reversal of Fortune

Michael Madsen ; obviously for Reservoir Dogs, but also a lot because of Free Willy and Free Willy 2

Mike Myers ; even though his later career was awful the '90s output of Wayne's World and Austin Powers were class
