Just because he doesn't gain/lose 50 lbs or puts on a weird voice, doesn't mean that he plays the same character.

Leo becomes Calvin Candie in Django Unchained, he's totally different from any other role, same goes with his role as Danny Archer in Blood Diamond or his role in Gilbert Grape.
Tom Hanks role as Forrest Gump or his role as Cap. Miller in Saving Private Ryan are completely different too.
It seems to me like you rate someone higher just because they put on a bunch of make-up or put on a different voice. I think it's more impressive when an actor can just be believable and give a genuine performance.

Then I misunderstood your thoughts.
I still disagree about your point that Hanks, Dicaprio Washington, Adams etc play all their roles the same way though.
