Additions appreciated. 20 pounds minimum.
There may be others on the list where the same description applies, but I just thought I'd give a shout out to Ed Norton for "muscle" gain in Am.Hi.X. Nicolas Cage also seemed to beef up quite a bit, although I'm not sure if it was for a particular movie role (possibly to compensate for his thinning hair?) (smile)
