Jared Leto (Dallas Buyers Club)
Jared Leto could quite possibly be the ultimate showbiz chameleon. While Leto “rock star” might be a more familiar moniker these days as frontman to Thirty Seconds to Mars, whose current world tour and fourth album, “Love, Lust, Faith and Dreams” have taken the band to the stratosphere of success, his return to the movie screen in Dallas Buyers Club as the delicately spoken, transgender HIV-positive Rayon proves that when he is not zip-lining over a festival crowd at Rock in Rio, or directing his band’s MTV award-winning music videos, the 42-year-old is still one of cinema’s most intriguing actors and one with a consistent record of choosing challenging roles.
