A PI needs to ask questions and be suspicious – and no one plays a distrustful, paranoid stoner, er, inquisitor like Jonah. To bad he can’t remember what he learns.

PIs sometimes need to use weapons, and Lady M knows how to rock a pistol… and a pantsuit.

Ellen’s natural energy will keep her awake and seat-dancing during long hours of boring surveillance.

PIs often testify as witnesses in trials, so they need to be good on the stand. Harry’s bangs would convince any jury of tween girls. Or middle-aged women.

5. Matthew McConaughey, The Secretly Smart Goofball

Private investigators need a disarming façade to get information from suspects. Matt carries bongos and a change of no-clothes just for such occasions.

6. Miley Cyrus, The Great Pretexter

7. Meryl Streep, The Chameleon

With her mastery of accents, hairstyles, and emotions, Meryl Streep can disguise herself as anyone… and, in fact, is secretly every other actor on this list.
