- Christian Bale (Patrick Bateman) In 2000, Christian Bale was not the A-lister he is today. As he was more well-known for his child and teenage roles in Empire of the Sun (1987), Newsies (1992), and Swing Kids (1993), American Psycho director and co-writer Harron had to fight to get him cast as Patrick Bateman, especially since the studio execs wanted Leonardo DiCaprio for the role.

After his performance as Paul Allen in American Psycho, the actor dropped a significant amount of weight to play a character with a heroin addiction in Darren Aronofsky's Requiem for a Dream (2000); grew in culturally appropriated cornrows for David Fincher's Panic Room (2002); and then focused increasingly on his rock band Thirty Seconds to Mars, which released a couple of platinum sellers in the mid-2000s.
