Despite "K-Pax," this GQ cover, and the fact that he is a privileged child of a Hollywood actor, Jeff Bridges always classes up the joint. He picks not just good roles, but good films. He's an understated actor who doesn't need to go apeshit to prove he's doing a good job. He doesn't try to sell you his character. I always like watching him.
