Christian Bale

One of the most prolific and talented actors in modern cinema is Christian Bale. His mastery of accents and his amazing ability to gain and lose weight is amazing. In the film The Machinist Bale lowered his weight to 112 lbs. 6 months after completion of filming The Machinist he began work on Batman Begins and raised his weight to 180 lbs. Bale, though he is English, has many roles where he displays his amazing ability to keep an American accent for a prolonged period of time. One of my favorite films with Christian Bale is American Psycho. Bale has a reputation for doing many art house films and independent movies and American Psycho is a prime example of it. American Psycho is based on a controversial novel of the same name written by Bret Easton Ellis. Christian Bale is one of the actors that is going to be remembered as one of the greatest actors of his time.
