    This actor will be always in my top list and my deepest respect for his professionalism on "V for Vendetta" where he keep the mask on for the entire movie as it should be! Not like other actors that they accepted to play masked characters and later they are getting off their masks as many times as they can just to prove to the audience that they are inside the costume. Also, it was awesome that he didn't want a credit for the voice of Megatron just because he hadn't much lines to say. He IS an actor! The rest just perform roles in movies.
