Jason Bateman
A child actor turned into one of the most reliable comic performers of his generation, Jason Bateman was reborn thanks to the cult series 'Arrested Development', in which he played the sane Michael Bluth amid a preposterous family. Born in New York in 1969, he established himself in film with comedies such as 'The Change-Up' and 'Horrible Bosses'. His darker side arrived with the series 'Ozark', which he also directed in part and which earned him recognition as a filmmaker. Bateman commands the dry reaction of the ordinary man trapped in chaos, a register he has managed to stretch all the way to drama.
