The top 10 Michael Fassbender performances AUGUST 3, 2012 BY SIMON MIRAUDO (QUICK FLIX)


With Michael Fassbender starring in what seems like eight or nine new releases each week, we thought it might be time to offer an early career retrospective on the 35-year-old Irishman. In the half-decade since he first broke into film, the Fass has emerged as one of the most consistent performers in both indie art-house fare and big-budget franchise flicks, earning a Golden Globe nomination, commendations from George Clooney on the size of his equipment, and the universally recognised nickname ‘Fassmember’ for his troubles. Not bad. Not bad at all.

10.  300


As Stelios in Zack Snyder‘s 300, Fassy got the opportunity to run around half-nude in slow motion (a Snyder tradition!), and slice up a bunch of assailants. His is perhaps the only truly sad death, which is impressive, because approximately eight billion people die in this thing.


9.  Haywire


It may amount to little more than a cameo, but as squeaky-voiced M16 agent Paul in Steven Soderbergh‘s Haywire, he gets to do battle with Gina Carano‘s super-spy in the movie’s best sequence.
