LOS ANGELES (AP) — If it seems like Channing Tatum is everywhere, it’s probably because he is. He’s appeared in five films this year alone, with the latest being this weekend’s ensemble comedy-drama ‘‘10 Years.’’ The roles have come in every imaginable genre, each strikingly different from the last.

And hey, what do you know? Five is a magic number around here. So let’s rank Tatum’s 2012 performances, in order of preference:

— ‘‘21 Jump Street’’: Comedy is so underappreciated, and what Tatum does here is especially tough: He plays the straight man opposite a much more established comedian, Jonah Hill. (Who is, come to think of it, also the straight man.) And yet, Tatum also has to let himself get a little goofy and toy with his hunky image as the film itself gets goofy, which he does with great enthusiasm. Satirically inspired by the ‘80s TV series, ‘‘21 Jump Street’’ features Tatum playing a former jock who returns to high school as an undercover police officer alongside his partner (Hill), the nerd he used to torment way back when. It’s rowdy and raunchy but Tatum and Hill share an unexpectedly sweet chemistry.
