20. Richard Gere (1949– )

An old-school movie star and, to say the least, not the world’s most consistent actor, Gere has still been unlucky not to enjoy even one Oscar moment (where the likes of George Clooney have had a fistful). He’s not been far off lately with The Hoax and Arbitrage– it’ll come, maybe, when he finds his Wall Street.

Most robbed for: Actor, 1990 – Top Gere is his shadiest performance, as the vicious cop in Mike Figgis’s Internal Affairs.
