"John's the type of performer who will be around for a long time—he's solid. People sometimes get complacent about actors that are so good, just because they're consistent. He always shines, but every once in a while a script comes that really lets him do his stuff." — CLINT EASTWOOD
His last name has become shorthand for slithering, serpentine, Mephistophelian. His roguish charm would lead you to expect a forked tongue. Malkovich, 44, has a special gift for villains, from twitchy psychopaths to salivating lotharios, and we bought every lascivious second he spent seducing both Michelle Pfeiffer and Uma Thurman in Dangerous Liaisons.
DON'T MISS: Dangerous Liaisons (1988), In the Line of Fire (1993), The Portrait of a Lady (1996)
NEXT: The gambling drama Rounders, costarring Matt Damon (Sept. 11); Joan of Arc, with Milla Jovovich (in production)
