In the role that he was born to play, Keanu is easily able to pull off Neo’s hapless bewilderment as he’s thrown down the rabbit hole at the beginning of the series, together with his growth into ‘the one’, a character capable of bringing down the matrix and destroying the controllers. The Matrix trilogy is marked by a vast array of exceptional qualities, from its philosophical underpinnings to its iconic aesthetic and action sequences it’s safe to say though that none of the films would have worked half as well without Keanu Reeves at the centre.

Although he established himself as a star in the stoner comedy, Bill & Ted’s Excellent Adventure, he quickly rose up in a series of brilliant action films such as Point Break, Speed and of course, The Matrix.
