17) Russell Crowe

The temper of Russell Crowe has made it a problem on many a set. Being the man who can't mess around, Crowe has allegedly argued with some directors over the creative input. A prime example is his feud with Gladiator's producer Branko Lustig over one line in a script. But beyond disputes on sets, publicized skirmishes like that 2005 hotel phone incident have created a difficult persona. Despite all this controversy, his super-strong performances in A Beautiful Mind and Les Misérables have endeared him as a powerhouse on the screen.
