1 Christopher Walken
As a guy who hides watches in his nether regions (Pulp Fiction, 1994), he made us laugh -- and shudder. 124 198
2 Gene Wilder
Even Johnny Depp couldn't compete with Wilder's creepy and lovable Willy Wonka (Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, 1971) 96 166
3 Johnny Depp
A man who used "Oprah Noodlemantra" as his name in the credits of Freddy's Dead deserves to be cast as the Mad Hatter. 87 191
4 Helena Bonham Carter
Any woman married to Tim Burton has to be a strange bird. Then there was her method-like performance as an ape (Planet of the Apes, 2001). 36 142
5 Steve Martin
The Jerk (1979) and The Man With Two Brains (1983) are only the tip of Martin's out-there iceberg. 36 134
6 John Malkovich
It's hard to tell how much is him and how much is acting in the landmark Being John Malkovich (1999). 33 135
7 Crispin Glover
Glover parlays his eccentricities into memorable roles, like George McFly and Grendel. No wonder he caught Tim Burton's eye. 24 120
8 Tilda Swinton
Perhaps her early work as a sex-changing nobleman (Orlando, 1992) gave her ideas... Nowadays, nothing is unexpected from her. -19 93
9 Lily Tomlin
In an f-bomb loaded moment on the set of I Heart Huckabees (2004), she showed her outrageous antics in front of the camera aren't always scripted. -19 101
10 Tracy Morgan
A former crack dealer who's been arrested for drunk driving, Morgan is a loose cannon. See Half Baked (1988) if you need more proof. -27 115
