Some actors are very flash in the pan in their career: their hits are gone just as quickly as they came. Whilst they may still appear in films, nothing will recreate their one shining moment of greatness. Other actors have a career full of hit films and whilst they may end up in some terrible films, their hits and their talent ensure a healthy and glittering career. One of these such actors is Ewan McGregor, a veteran Scottish actor with a career spanning over three decades. The nephew of actor Denis Lawson who appeared in the original Star Wars trilogy and Enid, McGregor has forged a stellar career on the merit of his own talent and determination. A man who does not appear desperate for the limelight at every move, he's received a lot of critical acclaim even when appearing in less than appealing films.

As we prepare for two films starring McGregor released within a week of each other with Mortdecai then Son of a Gun, here are some of his finest performances:

Steve Carell is one of the funniest actors working today. A hero of modern comedy, he has delighted audiences for years with his generally likeable persona and naturally funny expressions. However, ‘terrifying’ might be the best word to describe him in his new film Foxcatcher, in which he plays a role unlike any he’s played before alongside Channing Tatum and Mark Ruffalo in the psychological thriller that’s getting rave reviews. Not only that, but it looks like an Oscar nomination is on the cards for Carell. It’s all very exciting, so we’re gonna take a look back at the man’s career and highlight his best performances to date.

Honourable mentions:

Despicable Me 1 and 2, Bruce Almighty, Get Smart, Over the Hedge, Date Night, Seeking a Friend for the End of the World and The Office US
