James McAvoy for me. X-Men first Class, Split, Speak No Evil, even Victor Frankenstein. If MCavoy’s name is attached to it, I’m probably going to see it. Charlize Theron is next. Mad Max: Fury road, Monster, and Kubo. Old guard… she acted her heart out, but it was okay in the end. (First post)

      Actors who always commit to their roles! It’s always a pleasure to see them, especially when you see them go from very serious to comedy in various parts. Tom Hanks was fantastic in the 80s when he was comedy but he seems to do more serious roles since then. Also why Saturday Night Live skits can be awesome when such actors are guest starting.

    Damn, I misread the title and thought I was going to see people that nobody wants to see in a movie like Jared Leto and was surprised at all the nice actors that were listed.

      Watched everything he made without question until the rookie came out. Put off watching it for years but sad I did as it’s a great show!

    My mom’s answer would be Walton Goggins, but I’d have to agree cause man that guy can change characters of a dime. From his crazy almost feral killer character from American Ultra, to his character from The Unicorn, to Vice Principals, to Fallout, the guy is damn near a chameleon.

      Vice Principals was so good, and it was incredibly disappointing that it got canceled. Righteous Gemstones does not scratch that itch for me, though Goggins as Uncle Baby Billy is just another character in what is a great showcase he’s put together. I feel like he kinda went under the radar for a bit and he’s getting his due now, and deservedly so.

      The Unicorn

      Goggins as a trans woman in Sons of Anarchy stole the show even though this role had a total of like 3 minutes spread around in several episodes… the guy is awesome

      Yeah, Goggins’ stole the show every damn time he was on screen in Justified. Great actor.
