The 12 best Matthew McConaughey performances ever, ranked by Jason Guerrasio on Aug 24, 2016, 9:36 AM Advertisement
 Matthew McConaughey has come a long way since we first saw him as the sleepy-eyed stoner Wooderson in the classic 1993 movie "Dazed and Confused." Since then he's been the heartthrob, the raw indie actor, and then forged "The McConaissance" that led to an Oscar win. His latest movie, "The Sea of Trees" (out in limited release this weekend), looks like a dud if you go by the vicious reception it got at Cannes last year. So instead let's celebrate the best performances McConaughey has given us over his career. Here are his 12 best roles ever, ranked: SEE ALSO: 20 modern classic movies everyone needs to watch in their lifetime 12. Fenton Meiks in "Frailty" (2001)  Though mostly told through flashbacks featuring his character as a child, McConaughey does show up in important moments, including this thriller's shocking ending that shows he can be more than the happy-go-lucky guy he was known as at the time.
11. Rick Peck in "Tropic Thunder" (2008)  "Tropic Thunder" plays on the fragile insecurities that everyone in the entertainment industry has, and McConaughey's hilarious portrayal of an agent who will do anything for his client in hopes of not being fired (even going through the jungle to provide him with a TiVo) is an excellent example of that.
10. Ward Jansen in "The Paperboy" (2012)  Yes, that's McConaughey wearing an eye patch. How did he get it? You'll have to watch the movie (it's on Netflix). And if that's not motivation enough, this is the best McConaughey performance you've never seen. The movie is nuts, but buried in there is McConaughey going next level.
