Guest article by Brooklyn77 Film critic Roger Ebert once said of Christian Bale's performance in American Psycho, "There is no instinct for self-preservation here, and that is one mark of a good actor."

While Ebert was specifically referring to Bale's breakout performance in the film adaption of Bret Easton Ellis's novel, the same can be said for nearly all of this fiercely private actor's on-screen roles. Welsh-born Christian Bale has been gaining acclaim for his roles both in blockbuster films such as Christopher Nolan's Batman films as well as arthouse films like The Machinist and Harsh Times. He has shown an ability to completely transform himself for a role as he did as Dicky Ecklund in The Fighter and losing 60 pounds for his haunting role as Trevor Reznik in The Machinist. Christian Bale won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar for the aforementioned role in The Fighter. Bale's choice of roles have made this reclusive actor both a critics' darling and an everyman actor. I think we can be confident that he will pick up many more award nominations in the future and will likely win a few more Oscars before his acting career concludes.
