Sacha Baron Cohen as M. Thénardier in Les Misérables (2012)

Baron Cohen's role as thieving innkeeper M. Thénardier in Les Misérables is just the right balance of hilarity and dramatics. With songs like "Master of the House," Thénardier serves as the comedic relief to the dark tones of the film, yet overall he is a terrible person. Baron Cohen gives his all in the film, fully embracing the disgusting traits of the innkeeper just looking to get ahead in life. It makes his turn as Thénardier all that more believable and reminds us all that not only can he sing, but he can also act.
