Priest

With his high-tea good looks and patently British comportment, Paul Bettany could've easily ridden 2004’s Wimbledon into a long, fruitful rom-com career in the Hugh Grantian mold. Instead, he’s chosen to take on unconventional supporting parts in blockbusters (self-flagellating Silas in The Da Vinci Code; RDJ's smartass computer in Iron Man) and tongue-in-cheek, pseudo-sacred starring roles — a glowering killer angel in 2009's Legion, and now a glowering, good-with-a-blade clergyman in Priest.
