    Groucho Marx. In serious roles, Robert Mitchum, who was about the most laid-back film star ever:

    'This is not a tough job. You read a script. If you like the part and the money's OK, you do it. You remember your lines. You show up on time. You do what the director tells you to do. When you finish, you rest and then go on to the next part. That's it.'

    Robert de Nero I think probably ticks enough boxes to win here.. Not perhaps on charisma but a damn good actor who can do any role.
