Great crime movies need compelling actors.
Summary Some actors are better suited to playing cops and detectives than others, and they often appear in tons of movies playing similar characters. Dating all the way back to the film noir era, crime movies have revolved around detectives, with the biggest stars always being drawn to such roles. Actors need a certain style and authority to play law enforcement, and those who have it can add variations to keep their cop movies fresh.
Washington's trend of playing law enforcement eventually landed him his first Oscar win for Best Actor with 2001's Training Day. Harrison Ford is instrumental in bringing the right tone to Blade Runner. Although Ridley Scott's sci-fi masterpiece may look like a steampunk dystopia, there are parts of Blade Runner's script which wouldn't look out of place in a film noir detective drama. Ford plays Decker, a cynical ex-cop who is dragged back in for one last case. Blade Runner also features a corrupt business executive and a femme fatale to complement Ford's film noir archetypal hard-nosed gumshoe.
7 Bruce Willis The Die Hard franchise, Sin City Close Right up there with the likes of Harry Callahan, Die Hard's John McClane deserves his spot in the list of iconic movie cops. As John McClane, Willis embodies the never-say-die spirit that makes the Die Hard movies so tense and exciting. McClane is the kind of cop who is easy to root for.
There's something about Tommy Lee Jones that makes him the perfect fit to play senior detectives. Perhaps it's his stone-faced demeanor or his gentle Texan baritone. Nielsen never winks at the camera or acknowledges that what he's doing is absurd. He simply plays the part of an inept cop tangled up in a case that he doesn't have the capacity to understand. His understanding of the tropes of the detective genre allows him to play around a little, but he makes a better cop than most actors. The Naked Gun is being rebooted with Liam Neeson taking over as Frank Drebin.
3 Al Pacino Serpico , Heat , Insomnia Close In a career spanning several decades, Al Pacino has had the chance to play a number of great law enforcement characters. Serpico was one of his first big hits, and it remains a classic cop drama. Pacino plays the real-life New York City police officer Frank Serpico, who worked to expose corruption within the NYPD. Pacino has also played gangsters and criminals, but he often returns to playing cops.
