Versatility Comes Naturally to American Gigolo Richard Gere

For many of us, Richard Gere will always be the lusty, Armani-clad bad boy smoldering amidst the window blinds on the American Gigolo poster. Blessed with matinee idol good looks, Gere could have found himself confined to playing heroes, but over the course of his three decades on film, he's been careful to mix it up, expanding his reach into a variety of genres and roles, some that he'd likely rather forget (er, Shall We Dance). Herewith, ten of our favorite examples from the Richard Gere repertoire.
