Paul Dano, who you may remember as the mute brother in "Little Miss Sunshine," took on a much different kind of role for his new film "The Extra Man," co-starring Katie Holmes and Kevin Kline.

Gotta love those method actors. [NY Post] After the jump, some more actors who had the guts to get drag-tastic for roles.
