1. Kenneth Willaims: Fantabulosa

One of the many gifts of Sheen has been that he is a brilliant impressionist and hence many of the roles that he got were mainly biopics.

The film is a retelling of the post-Watergate scandal television interviews between British talk-show host David Frost and former American President Richard Nixon. Sheen received immense critical acclaim for playing Frost extremely well.

Michael Sheen has played former British Prime Minister Tony Blair as many as three times in his career though his breakthrough role saw him play British PM Tony Blair in this Channel 4 film from writer Peter Morgan and directed by Stephen Frear. Sheen's transformation into Blair is so good that it's actually possible to mistake him to be the former British PM.

This film marked the fifth collaboration between Sheen and writer Peter Morgan. It saw him play Brian Clough, an English football player and manager. The film chronicled Clough's doomed 44 days he spent managing Leeds United in 1974 before he was sacked. This role proved that if there was anyone who could pull off the role of any British icon, it had to be Sheen. Michael Sheen, Anna Lundberg Welcome First Child Together.
