7. Roberto Benigni
Who didn’t love Roberto Benigni’s exuberance in both Life is Beautiful and his Best Actor acceptance speech for the role in 1999? Directing and starring in a comedic film about life in a concentration camp is no easy feat, and the Italian star pulled it off with grace and sensitivity. However, he hasn’t worked much in Hollywood since. He’s an icon in his native Italy, but there aren’t many roles for his type of character face on this side of the pond.
